Fantasy Island (1998)
A Non-Review by Professor Popinjay I’d be surprised if anyone remembers this incarnation of Fantasy Island. It was very short lived with only one season. I don’t know much about the original show so I can’t really make a comparison. In fact this is the only version of the show…

Sabrina 1954 vs Sabrina 1995
A Non-Review by Professor Popinjay [Sorry it’s been a minute since a non-review. I’ve been doing some organizing and between articles I post I’ve been working on my Godzilla magnum opus. Also I’ve been delving into films to write about which I saw not recently but long long ago. Todays…

Book of Pooh (The)
A Non-review by Professor Popinjay (2001) Ah, the original Toy Story. I love poo. I also love Winnie the Pooh… For those who don’t know, a Pooh Bear is a particular bear characterized by a propensity for wearing shirts but not pants and maintaining a simplistic Pooh-centric worldview. There’s a…

Racing Stripes
A Non-Review by Professor Popinja (2005) Not much to say about this. It’s a harmless impetus for discussion about race and discrimination. Fairly predictable plot. Some poop humor. Has an all star cast of talking animals which are always fun to determine who is who. Just the accomplishment of getting…

New York, New York
A Non-Review by Professor Popinjay (1977) I never turn off a movie out of disgust. If I don’t have the patience for something at its current run-time, I usually just watch it at twice the speed. I turned on this film because De Niro can be interesting. It’s interesting to…

Bonkers
A Non-review by Professor Popinjay (1995) I’ll address the elephant in the room just to get it out of the way. The premise of this show is a little confusing because it deals with toons and non-toons (humans) but the humans are animated too. Once you understand the humans in…

Bob the Builder: Muck’s Favorite Adventures
A Non-Review by Professor Popinjay (1999) This was a DVD release featuring four episodes from the 21 season kids show. Someone on Wikipedia complained that one of these episodes doesn’t feature the character of Muck very prominently but these are MUCK’S favorite adventures. That doesn’t necessarily mean they have to…

Wonka vs. Wonka vs. Wonka
A Non-Review by Professor Popinjay No, this is not a family courtroom battle. Today I’ll be comparing three films: Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory (1971), Charlie and the Chocolate Factory (2005), and Wonka (2023). I realize the third installment is a wholly different story and I’d kind of be…

Angels in the Infield
A Non-review by Professor Popinjay (2000) Yeah, we’re back to baseball. No “Angels in the New and Exciting Locales and Situations” for us. The whole reason the formula broke down is because we changed sports, right? Right!?! Nobody likes angels and football. Angels and baseball is where it’s at. Nevermind…

Angels in the Endzone
A Non-Review by Professor Popinjay (1997) SPOILERS!!! If this had been a stand alone film made by Hallmark, I might be more forgiving, especially considering it’s a made-for-TV movie. But this is what Disney gave us as the official sequel to the 1994 Angels in the Outfield. My standards were…
