Review - Ocean's 8 (2018)

        Hey guys, Chuck here. Well, it's time that we, for the time being, wrap up the Ocean's franchise with 2018's Ocean's 8 , directed by Gary Ross, and starring Sandra Bullock, Cate Blanchett, Mindy Kaling, Anne Hathaway, Rihanna, Sarah Paulson, Awkwafina, and Helena Bonham Carter, along with the likes of Richard Armitage, James Corden, Elliot Gould, and Shaobo Qin.          The movie introduces us to Debbie Ocean, sister to Danny Ocean, who is being released from prison on parole. She sets herself up in New York City, where she visits a mausoleum where Danny is, allegedly, buried. I say allegedly because it's not clear if he's actually dead or not.

Developed by Drew Goddard, with showrunners including the likes of Steven S.

My Thoughts on WWE Elimination Chamber (2025)

      Hey guys, Chuck here, and it's been exactly one month since we began the road to WrestleMania . But, before the Showcase of Immortals kicks off in Las Vegas, there's one bump in that road in the form of a 26-foot high steel monstrosity known only as the Elimination Chamber. Yep, it's officially time to discuss this year's WWE Elimination Chamber .        So, to break down just what the hell the Elimination Chamber is, it's a massive steel structure, predominantly made of chains, that surrounds the wrestling ring, with elevated floors on each side of the ring, and four plexiglass pods set up at each of the four corners of the ring. The original design was circular, but the Chamber got a more angular redesign in 2016, with padding added to the floors. The Elimination Chamber match works as follows: six wrestlers participate in the match, with two wrestlers starting in the ring, and the other four being housed in the pods.
