Another day another post from your media mates! This time it is me: Yasin Erol
Tiger King (2020):
Last time, I talked about the documentary show about Michael Jordan and the Bulls back in the 90s. Today, I will review a documentary as well. This one takes place in a whole different setting. 

It is about the blond guy with his fu manchu beard his shiny and glittering clothes AND! his wild animals, tigers. The guy in the picture you can see above is Joseph Allen Maldonado-Passage or better known as Joe Exotic. He owns a wildlife zoo with hundreds of tigers. Carole Baskin, an animal rights activist and the counterpart to Joe Exotic was his biggest enemy by trying to get the zoo closed and rescue the tigers who were living in there. Joe accused Carole Baskin of murdering her husband and feeding him to her big cats, and later tried to pay someone to murder her. Which is why he got sentenced for 22 years in prison.

A friend of mine recommended me this tv show by comapring it to another big documentary on Netflix "Don't F* with Cats". The main characters are similar to eachother. Two guys who are guy and want the big spotlight to be the star, but get too focused on it and in big trouble. It was quite interesting to see how his relationships worked where he had two husbands at the same time and how he got in a verbal war with Carole Baskin. Despite his cringe look, he was a sympathic crazy guy from the prairie of Oklahoma. Wars with her and other livelihood damaging experiences lead him to the choice to kill Carole Baskin which his hit man failed to do.

The documentary is structured like a classic Netflix documentary where the characters get introduced at first and then get scrutinized until they reveal what it is all about. The documentary took us to a exotic zoo with crazy characters, which i would not even imagine of that they could exist. Negatively, the documentary was more like a biography about Joe Exotic than a thrilling shocking documentary like Don't F*** with Cats" was.

It doesn't reach the level of Don't F*** in terms of exciting and catching moments but it shows nice insights to a crazy lifestyle of a few very interesting exotic characters.

These are the reasons why the show gets:
Grade: 7/10

Hope you liked it and come back for our next review!!!

Video Game Review - Super Mario Odyssey

Image
Super Mario Odyssey is the newest 3D game in the Super Mario Series. It came out in 2017 for the console the Nintendo Switch (2017) with great feedback from fans worldwide.  The game follows a similar storyline to most Mario games, where Princess Peach is captured by Bowser and Mario has to save her, but this time, Bowser plans to marry Princess Peach. To save her, Mario must travel on an airship to different Kingdoms, where he must collect moons to power up and continue his adventure! This was a surprising change as many games in the Mario series require stars instead, such as Super Mario 64 (1996) and shine sprites in Super Mario Sunshine (2002). Alongside his journey, Mario is paired with his new companion Cappy, which is his sentient hat that allows him to capture different enemies' spirits and control them using special abilities. I personally enjoyed the game, as it had a wide sandbox like feeling to each Kingdom, allowing you to explore every inch. A difference is

Music Review - Everglow by Coldplay

Everglow (2015) Oi mates, This week, I am back with a review of one of my favourite songs from my favourite band, British Alternative/Rock band Coldplay’s 2015 single Everglow , the final single from their 2015 album A Head Full of Dreams. Compared to the remaining tracks of one of the more upbeat Coldplay albums, Everglow is the slowest song, with the primary melody provided by piano. Like the majority of Coldplay songs, there can be many interpretations of the song, however the most popular interpretation is the song being about loving and reminiscing about the people we have lost touch with. This is another lyrical sensation by the band, with the lyrics being delicate and touching, scattered with imagery that gives the song its soul. The combination of the lyrics and the instrumental part also conveys the emotions of the song effectively, as the song goes from a piano melody accompanied by slow drum beats to its climax where the guitar comes in, before the song ends

TV Show Review - Black Mirror

TV Show Review ‘Sup mates, today’s blog will be on the Netflix TV series Black Mirror . Although I am a terribly impatient person that is not capable of following a series, Black Mirror is the one series that I have not missed a single episode.  Premiered in 2011, Black Mirror is a British dystopian science fiction anthology series whose setting is often in the future or the alternative present. The episodes are independent to one another and the general themes are dark and satire. The series showcases the future with unanticipated consequences of new technologies. According to the series creator Charlie Brooker, the name Black Mirror refers to the screens of technological devices, and there is a dark and scary vibe attached to the name, which suits the content and the theme of the show. The show has run for five seasons, together with a Christmas special and an interactive film, and is still being renewed. What I like about Black Mirror is firstly the
