Breakdown - WWE Royal Rumble (2026)

       Hey guys, Chuck here. Well, it's been a bit since I talked about anything WWE related. And, well, I just got done with watching the latest WWE Royal Rumble event, which was held in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. We had a few entertaining matches, including both the Men's and Women's Royal Rumble matches. So, who won, and who punched their ticket to this year's WrestleMania in Las Vegas? Let's find out. 

      So, before we get to the two Royal Rumble matches, here's some of the other matches. First, we had A.J. Styles vs. Gunther, in which if A.J. lost, his storied wrestling career, which includes stints in wrestling promotions like TNA, Ring of Honor, and WWE, would be over. And, unfortunately, Gunther was the big winner, meaning that A.J. Styles' career is over. Second, we had the Undisputed WWE Championship match between Drew McIntyre and Sami Zayn, which saw McIntyre retain the title. 

       And now, we have the two Royal Rumble matches. First was the Women's Royal Rumble, which saw Liv Morgan emerge as the victor. And, while there were some phenomenal performances by the likes of Roxanne Perez, Charlotte Flair, Rhea Ripley, Iyo Sky, Nikki Bella, and the returning Brie Bella, my personal favorite one was from Sol Ruca. And, finally, there was the Men's Royal Rumble match, which saw Roman Reigns emerge victorious by last eliminating Gunther. And, while I am glad that Roman won, I gotta say that I was impressed by the likes of Oba Femi, newcomer Royce Keys (in his WWE debut), and AAA wrestlers like La Parka and Mr. Iguana. And, we now have TWO versions of El Grande Americano, as the Rumble saw a competitor dubbed "The Original El Grande Americano" appeared, and both of them went toe-to-toe. And, I have a feeling one of the two versions of El Grande Americano is gonna have to unmask. 

      So, to recap: Drew McIntyre is still Champion, A.J. Styles' career is over, and both Liv Morgan and Roman Reigns will be facing the Champions of their choosing at WrestleMania in Las Vegas. All in all, a really entertaining Royal Rumble this year. 

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

Review - Song Sung Blue (2025)

       Hey guys, Chuck here. Song Sung Blue ,.which is based on a true story, is a new musical film released by Focus Features. Written and directed by Craig Brewer, this movie stars Hugh Jackman, Kate Hudson, Ella Anderson, King Princess, Michael Imperioli, Mustafa Shakir, and Jim Belushi.         The movie tells the story of Wisconsin musician Mike Sardina, who forms a close bond with fellow musician Claire Stingl, and how the two go on to become the front duo of a Neil Diamond tribute band known as Lightning and Thunder. And, of course, the movie follows the romance, marriage, and the many trials and tribulations that Mike and Claire go through over the years.         Now, I have to admit that I wasn't sure what to expect when watching this movie, but I will admit that I had a really fun time with it. The chemistry between Hugh Jackman and Kate Hudson as Mike and Claire was absolutely fantastic, and their singing w...

Review - The Karate Kid (1984/2010)

       Hey guys, Chuck here. And, with the new movie Karate Kid: Legends hitting theaters this summer, I thought I would finally take a look into a couple of earlier films in the Karate Kid franchise. Unfortunately, I have only ever seen two movies in the series: the 1984 original starring Ralph Macchio and Pat Morita, and the 2010 entry starring Jackie Chan and Jaden Smith. And, surprisingly enough, those are the only two that are required viewing before going into the new Karate Kid: Legends movie.          So, the 1984 film The Karate Kid tells the story of Daniel LaRusso, a teenager living in the Reseda neighborhood of Los Angeles, who befriends a girl named Ali, but has also unfortunately become a target of Johnny Lawrence and his fellow students at an aggressive karate dojo known as Cobra Kai. The instructor at Cobra Kai, John Kreese, is a ex-Special Forces man who teaches his students to show no mercy. One day, as Daniel tries to get p...

Christmas Review - Mickey's Magical Christmas: Snowed in at the House of Mouse (2001)

        Hey guys, Chuck here. Well, it's the holiday season once again, which means it's time for some fun Christmas reviews. And, while in the past, this has been done in the form of 12 Reviews of Christmas , I feel as though I've exhausted so many Christmas titles worth talking about, that there simply isn't enough to warrant twelve days of them. So, going forward, there will instead be a handful of Christmas reviews spread intermittently throughout the month of December.         And, we're kicking off our Christmas reviews with the 2001 direct-to-video Disney special Mickey's Magical Christmas: Snowed in at the House of Mouse . For some background, in the year 1999, Disney aired a series called Mickey Mouse Works , which introduced a new collection of shorts starring Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck, and Goofy. However, after two seasons, Disney replaced it with the similarly themed House of Mouse , which saw Mickey, Donald, and Goofy, along with...
