My Thoughts on the 2025 Kids' Choice Awards

       Hey guys, Chuck here. Well, it's finally time to dive in to Nickelodeon's annual event: the Kids' Choice Awards, which were hosted this year by international music star Tyla. There were tons of celebrities, slime, and orange blimps being handed out, so let's see who the big winners were this year. 

     So, in the Movies category, the winners were as follows: Wicked (Favorite Movie), Jack Black (Favorite Movie Actor for A Minecraft Movie), Ariana Grande (Favorite Movie Actress for Wicked), Inside Out 2 (Favorite Animated Movie), Dwayne Johnson and Auli'i Cravahlo (Favorite Male and Female Voice from an Animated Movie for Moana 2), Jim Carrey (Favorite Villain for Sonic the Hedgehog 3) and Emma Myers (Favorite Butt-Kicker for A Minecraft Movie).

     In the Television category, the winners were as follows: The Thundermans: Undercover (Favorite Kids' TV Show), Jack Griffo and Kira Kosarin (Favorite Male and Female TV Star: Kids for The Thundermans: Undercover), XO, Kitty (Favorite Family TV Show), Xolo Maridueña and Peyton List (Favorite Male and Female TV Star: Family for Cobra Kai), America's Got Talent (Favorite Reality Show), and SpongeBob SquarePants (Favorite Cartoon). 

     In the Music category, the winners were as follows: Stray Kids (Favorite Music Group), Bruno Mars (Favorite Male Artist), SZA (Favorite Female Artist), "Taste" by Sabrina Carpenter (Favorite Song), Benson Boone (Favorite Male Breakout Artist), Sabrina Carpenter (Favorite Female Breakout Artist), Short n' Sweet by Sabrina Carpenter (Favorite Album), "Defying Gravity" by Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande from Wicked (Fab Song from a Movie), "Luther" by Kendrick Lamar and SZA (Favorite Music Collaboration), "Blue Flame" by Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco (Favorite Viral Song), Tyla (Favorite Global Music Star), and LOL Podcast (Favorite Podcast). 

     As for other winners, they were as follows: LeBron James and Simone Biles (Favorite Male and Female Sports Star), MrBeast and Salish Matter (Favorite Male and Female Creator), Ms. Rachel (Favorite Kids' Creator), iShowSpeed (Favorite Gamer), and Roblox (Favorite Video Game). 

      Jack Black was also honored tonight with a commemorative award: King of Comedy. And, while the idea of who should carry that label is highly subjective, I will say that Jack Black has entertained several age demographics across multiple generations for years. Not to mention he's won multiple Kids' Choice Awards, and has been a three-time KCA's host. So, for Nickelodeon to honor him at the Kids' Choice Awards is very cool, indeed. Rihanna also got recognized this evening with the Icon Award. And, given her contributions both as a music artist and an actress, she has definitely earned the title of "Icon." 

       And, of course, there were some fantastic appearances by celebrity guests, such as frequent KCA's guest Tony Hawk, and the likes of Jack Griffin, Kira Kosarin, Kel Mitchell, Ice Spice, Auli'i Cravalho, Alex Warren, Benny Blanco, and several others. And, there were fantastic musical performances by MGK and Katseye. 

       But, what makes the KCA's so fun is, of course, the celebrity sliming. And, yes, quite a number of celebrities got soaked in that green Nickelodeon slime. Alex Warren, Kira Kosarin and Jack Griffo, MGK, Jack Black, Kel Mitchell, the members of Katseye, and Tyla all found themselves covered in slime. Not to mention, several folks in the audience got covered in slime, as well. 

      Overall, this year's Kids' Choice Awards was an improvement from last year, and I will give Tyla major props for stepping in to host this year, as she did a fantastic job. 

      Alright guys, this is Chuck signing off, and I'll see you in the next review.

HallowScream - Cowboy Bebop: The Movie (2001)

        Happy Halloween, everyone. Chuck here, and we've reached the end of another HallowScream . To finish out this month, I'm taking a look at something that not everyone will see as a Halloween movie, but a few do. This is my review of Cowboy Bebop: The Movie , released in 2001, and featuring the returns of Steve Blum as Spike Spiegel, Beau Billingslea as Jet Black, Wendee Lee as Faye Valentine, and Melissa Fahn as Ed.          Okay, so a few days before Halloween on Mars, Faye sees an unknown terrorist blow up a tanker truck while she's chasing another bounty. The blast unleashes a dangerous pathogen that kills many, and causes many others to fall ill. After the attack, the Martian government offers up a bounty of 300 million Woolong for the capture of the culprit. And, of course, the Bebop crew wants the bounty. Upon investigating, two things are discovered. First, the culprit may, in fact, be a man named Vincent Volaju, who was pr...

Review - Snow White (2025)

       Well, here we are. Snow White , the latest film from Disney to reimagine one of their animated classics, was directed by Marc Webb, written by Erin Cressida Wilson, and stars Rachel Zegler, Gal Gadot, Andrew Burnap, and Ansu Kabia, with motion capture performances by Martin Klebba, Jeremy Swift, George Salazar, and Titus Burgess just to name a few.        So, the movie tells the story of Snow White, a princess who goes on the run when, after consulting with the Spirit of the Magic Mirror, the Evil Queen grows jealous of her innermost radiance and wants her dead. Snow White meets and befriends several woodland critters, as well as the Seven Dwarfs (Doc, Happy, Sleepy, Bashful, Sneezy, Dopey, and Grumpy), and a young man named Jonathan, who leads a group of bandits, and she works with them to save her kingdom from the rule of the Evil Queen.        Okay, so the myriad of controversies surrounding this movie are well docume...

Breakdown - Disney D23 '24 Presentation

        Hey guys, Chuck here. Well, don't count Disney out just yet, because last night at the Honda Center in Anaheim, CA, the company's big presentation at the D23 Expo was held, and Disney came out swinging hard. And, there are so many things to get through, so let's go ahead and get started.         Okay, so the presentation kicked off with a new trailer for the upcoming Moana 2 , which reveals some plot info, and shows us Moana's little sister, who is a new character. Moana 2 , featuring the returns of Auli'i Cravalho and Dwayne Johnson, is set to hit theaters this November. Speaking of Dwayne Johnson, it looks like he will be starring in a new Disney movie called Monster Jam , which will center on monster truck drivers. Now, I'm kind of intrigued by this, as Monster Jam itself is pretty popular, so the idea of Disney making a movie about it is kinda neat, and with Dwayne Johnson as the star, anything is possible.      ...
