DOOM PATROL The complete first season on DVD #wbpartner

tabbyspantry

Warner Bros. Home Entertainment provided me with a free copy of the Blu-ray. I reviewed in this blog post.  The opinions are my own

This is one for older people not your kids Superhero show 🙂

 

I was so excited to see Doom Patrol season one.  I love a great superhero series.  Now Doom Patrol is a whole different level. We have a set of superheroes who are not really superheroes, they swear and have a more adult kind of humor.  We have a few I knew about and a few that I had not heard of.

Each of the Doom Patrol got to where they were by an accident.  None of them asked to be this way and almost none of them know what they are doing.  They have not embraced their new powers.  In the first episode we find out a little on how each got their power or became the way they are. The Chief has brought them all together and protected them for many years.  After the Chief goes missing, they start to actually become a team after a lot of fighting of course lol

I have to say we have all seen the show mess with the superheroes mind there is normally 1 episode that they screw with their heads.  The poor Doom patrol is put threw the ringer they get it again and again.  Yet each time they do it we learn a little something new about the Doom Patrol.

Will they find the Chief?  Can they save him?  Will they ever become a real superhero team? All these questions will be answered and more. I truly enjoyed this new set of superheroes and I can’t wait to see where they go next season.

I would say this is not a series for your little ones.  Go ahead and watch it first, of course its up to you what they watch , this may have a little too strong language and some graphic parts.

JBL GIVEAWAY

Who is ready for the first of many awesome Holiday Giveaways.  Come back to Tabbys Pantry all season long for more great giveaways.

This Holiday season, consider the JBL Link 2o for the perfect gift! This is a great speaker, and is bound to please even the pickiest teenager. I like that it is heavy, so it isn’t going to be easily knocked over by my cats. It sits nicely on my desk, and even though they roam around like they own it (ok, fine, they do! HAHA!), they aren’t able to easily knock it over. It puts out great sound, so when I am listening to my favorite hair bands, so are my neighbors! Seriously, though, the sound quality is outstanding.

The Link 20 has many features, including Google Assistant. I really like the voice-activated feature, as I can continue doing the task at hand, and tell Google what I need it to do. I will also say that the set up for this speaker was lightening fast! I had it set up and playing music in about 5 minutes! It took me longer than that to set up my new microwave!

The price point of the JBL Link 20 is $199.95. This is a great value for something with as many features as this speaker has! Did I mention that it has Chromecast built in? Well, it does! It also gives you the choice of which music streaming service to use with it. I like that because not everyone likes the same streaming service!

Scooby-Doo Return to Zombie Island on dvd Oct 1st

tabbyspantry

Warner Bros, Entertainment provided me with a free copy of this DVD I reviewed in the blog post.  The opinions I share are my own

OMG don’t tell me the Scooby Doo gang has retired.  This is the end of a era.  Its not time for them to go out and be kids.  No more mysteries no more ghost the mystery machine is gone.  Ya right do we believe that. Ya not for a second even if they did want to quit the mysteries always find them.

When Shaggy wins a vacation he gets to bring 3 guests and one pet with him.  That’s when the mystery starts again.  I loved this Scooby-Doo it was fun and exciting and surprising in the end.  I also loved the message of never break a promise to a friend.

Scooby-Doo! Return to Zombie Island will be available on Digital ($14.99 SRP) and DVD ($19.98 SRP).

On Scooby-Doo! Return to Zombie Island, Scooby-Doo and his pals win an all-expense paid vacation and embark on a trip of a lifetime to a tropical paradise. Their destination however, turns out to be Zombie Island. As soon as they arrive, they realize the place looks strangely familiar and is reminiscent of a trip they took years ago, in which they became wrapped up in a mystery involving zombies.  The gang soon learns that their trip to paradise comes with a price when the zombies re-emerge and attack their hotel.  Will Scooby-Doo and the Mystery Inc. gang finally solve the mystery behind Zombie Island?

“Zombies are a very popular theme in entertainment now and we wanted to create a fun, family-friendly version of this genre for Scooby-Doo! fans. So we brought back a Scooby-Doo! classic and continued the original story but created a captivating new plotline,” said Mary Ellen Thomas, Vice President Family & Animation Marketing. She added, “Scooby-Doo! Return to Zombie Island is an entertaining, original film that will appeal to a wide audience. It’s classic Scooby-Doo! with a contemporary look and feel, a fun storyline and engaging characters. This release is a must for your home entertainment library.”

Scooby-Doo Return to Zombie Island features the familiar voice talents of Frank Welker as Scooby-Doo/Fred Jones, Grey Griffin as Daphne Blake, Matthew Lillard as Shaggy Rogers and Kate Micucci as Velma Dinkley.

FROM SHOUT KIDS AND SESAME WORKSHOP

 

Spanning the beloved show’s 50-year history, the collection offers five-and-a-half hours of songs, celebrity appearances, new and classic segments with the Sesame Street Muppets, and never-before-seen outtakes

 

Los Angeles (July 8, 2019) – From the five boroughs of New York City to the beaches of Los Angeles, and every town in between, Sesame Street has been entertaining and teaching children for 50 years. Now, on October 1, 2019, Shout Kids and Sesame Workshop proudly present a birthday bash for the beloved brand with the release of Sesame Street: 50 Years and Counting on DVD and digital download.

The first disc in this very special 2-disc set features some of the greatest Sesame Street moments from yesterday and today: fan-favorite animations like “Ladybug Picnic” and “Pinball Number Count”; new and classic songs from Kermit the Frog’s soulful “It’s Not Easy Being Green” to will.i.am’s empowering anthem, “What I Am”; and timeless interactions between children and the Sesame Street Muppets. 50 Years and Counting will also let fans revisit Sesame Street’s many unforgettable celebrity appearances: Patti LaBelle putting a glamorous spin on the alphabet song; Amy Poehler teaching the gang new vocabulary words; R.E.M.’s joyful rendition of “Furry Happy Monsters”; Ricky Gervais trying — and failing — to sing Elmo to sleep; and other guest appearances made pop culture headlines while embodying Sesame Street’s inclusive lessons and values.

The second disc is an exclusive collection of the most iconic “Street Story” segments from Sesame Street’s 50-year history. With help from kids’ favorite characters, the early childhood experts behind Sesame Street helped generations of families tackle big conversations through little moments like these: the neighborhood’s poignant farewell to Mr.Hooper; the dramatic reveal of Big Bird’s not-so-imaginary friend, Mr. Snuffleupagus; and the debut of Julia, the first Sesame Street Muppet with autism.

50 Years and Counting also lets fans revisit the lighter side of the Street: Super Grover’s many crash-landings, Bert and Ernie’s classic comedy-duo antics, moments with human friends like Bob, Maria, Luis, Susan, and Gordon, and much more. There are even a few never-before-seen outtakes with Jim Henson and other original performers! With over five-and-a-half hours of content from all five decades of the beloved show, 50 Years and Counting offers something for everyone – from the very young to the young at heart.

Customers who buy the set at select retailers will also receive an exclusive Sesame Street frame, while supplies last. The frame features fan-favorite characters and is the perfect place to house a 2”x 3” photo of a special Sesame Street fan.

Sesame Street’s yearlong 50th anniversary celebrates the timeless lesson that Sesame Street has always taught:  everyone, no matter who they are or where they are from, is equally deserving of respect, opportunity, and joy. Throughout 2019, families everywhere can join all their furry and feathered friends in celebrating Sesame Street’s past, present, and future with a nationwide road trip, celebrity- and fan-fueled social media campaigns, new social impact initiatives, and a star-studded primetime special that will kick off the show’s 50th season.

50 Years of Sesame Street

Awake on DVD October 1st

tabbyspantry

We got the movie Awake free in exchange for a post.  All opinions are my own.

So, we start Awake off with a bang a missing girl, a body and a mom crying for her daughter.  Then we just a little ahead with a car accident and a detective.

When this man they call John wakes up from the accident he has no memory.  He is trying to figure out who he is while the cops are pulling out the car that crashed, and find the girls body in her trunk.  He has no idea what is going on. While he is trying to remember the FBI, agent comes in to question him.

When the detective comes to arrest him, he escapes and takes a nurse hostage. This is where the story gets good.  With the help from a new friend he sets off to see is he guilt? is he innocent? Why was he driving the car?  So many questions all while running from the FBI.

AWAKE SYNOPSIS
On a quiet evening, a shabby beige sedan speeds down a country highway. Dust and gravel fly through the air when suddenly the car slides out of control into a ravine. Later a man wakes up in a hospital bed with no recollection of who he is or how he got there. His nurse Diana (Francesca Eastwood) is unable to find any identification and refers to him as John Doe (Jonathan Rhys Meyers). The police barge into the hospital, accusing John of being a serial killer responsible for the murder of several young women in the area. As the sergeant ushers John into a private room for questioning, he manages to escape with the help of Diana, who is convinced of his innocence. The fugitives then set off for the last crime scene in search of clues and answers to clear John’s name but the benevolent nurse will soon uncover the shocking truth behind the amnesiac’s identity and the web of deceit that will lead him to a final fight for his survival.

X-Men Dark Phoenix

tabbyspantry

  We got X-Men Dark Phoenix digital to review in exchange for an honest review

 

We are huge X-Men fans.  I have seen everyone out and have read the comics for years.  If you don’t keep up with them all you can get a little behind.  Bad guys are now good , good guys are now bad,  Everyone is mad at someone and their is always something new happening.

  Now for those wondering what happened between this one and the last one and the shows, sorry no we don’t find out what happened yet and why all the X-Men are underground and gone.  I don’t know about you, but I am hoping for a new one soon with those answers.

  Have you always wondered how Jean Grey got to become and X-Men?  How someone so powerful made it as a kid?  Well then you are about to get a few answered with X-Men Dark Phoenix.  Any of us that read the comics and watched the cartoon know about the Dark Phoenix now we are getting a little more inside information about how she became to be.

  This X-Men brings us back to the beginning when Jean grey is a little girl.  We see how she got to the school and a little about her life.  Then we jump ahead to when she is a x-Men and see how she handles that.  We see exactly how she became the Dark Phoenix.

  When Jean goes looking for help, she ends up with an old favorite who lets her down.  This is when people start to pick sides and the action really begins.

   If you are a X-Men lover then this is a must add to your collection.
