Kid Cosmic Season 2 – Absolutely Out of the World!

Have Watched, Review /

Posted 31 December 2021

Kid Cosmic Season 2 (The Intergalactic Truckstop!) / Netflix / Premiered 7 September 2021

Another lovely continuation from Kid Cosmic Season 1 only taking place more in space and in various dimensions. Along with discovering more Stones of Power, more members join the Local Heroes.

Any Theme Song or Intro?

Kid Cosmic is the first show I watched that doesn’t play a theme song in every episode. Hey, it’s Netflix. The showrunners can pretty much do whatever they want, even state the story title at the END of the episode instead of toward the beginning. Very unique compared to the hundreds of shows I watched in my life that have the theme at the beginning and introduce the episode name toward the beginning (if that’s the show’s norm).

Binge-Watch Over and Over

Even though I’ve seen every episode on Netflix, I like to rewatch certain episodes to get a fix if I haven’t watched in a while. I just watch some random episode or a certain part I want to see. I do this because I have a busy life so I just watch what I can in the little time I have. I don’t suggest you do this if this is your first time watching. You need to see all the excitement at least once. Once you somewhat understand storylines, you can binge, random episode binge, and random section binge to your little heart’s desire.

I liked the parts with the “Mo’s Secret Recipe” sign and when Queen Xhan tells Jo how to be a good leader. I wrote down the leadership steps to consider how these can be applied to my own experiences (if any). I need that “Mo’s Secret Recipe” sign for my kitchen. 

A Jammin’ Soundtrack

Every song on the soundtrack is a banger. I’m listening to the season 1 soundtrack as I type this. It gets better in season 2 with all the kickin’ space-themed techno music. I enjoyed Andy Bean’s music composing for Wander over Yonder. He outdoes himself composing for Kid Cosmic. I love ‘70s punk bands. Dr. Fang and the Gang (despite being fictional) is a new one I just started admiring greatly. 

I Called It…It’s Gooooooood!

Wrong! More than goooooood, as predicted in a previous post. Kid Cosmic is FANTASTIC! Craig McCracken and his crew outdo themselves again. There’s a season 3 in the works. Too bad it’s going to be the last season. But hey, they say all good things must come to an end. We’ll just find something else just as gre…OH WAIT, nothing will be as great as this show. There will be nothing else like it. Prove me wrong. C’mon, I CHALLENGE YOU!

Play Along with Tooned In Season 1

Currently Watching, Review /

Posted 22 September 2021

Tooned In / Nickelodeon / 8 February 2021 – Present

Earlier this year on weekdays, I came home from work and got into my DVR to find the recording of the latest episode of this made-for-me game show. The subject is something I love and what Nickelodeon is mostly about…NICKTOONS!

From a lost pilot from 1998, Tooned In was finally green-lit in recent years. This Nicktoon-themed game show features young contestants who answer questions about Nicktoons from past and present for a chance to win $1000. The host is a personable, fun-loving AI robot named Nicky.

What I Think

In a world where TV intros have become unnecessary, no formal intro is needed for this show. A brief, lively tune punctuated with a “TOONED IN” at the end is just as sufficient and memorable, great for bookending segments before and after commercial breaks. 

The contestants seem no older than 13 years old so some of these questions are from Nicktoons before their time. I go absolutely crazy when they get it wrong and I scream at the tv. These young contestants either streamed these old shows or they studied their study guide (as stated at the end of the credits). 

Also, $1000 is like $1,000,000 to the kids but not much for me.

Evolution through Season 1

In season 1, the show has evolved by some bounds. This includes how Nicky says “SCOREboard” and the addition of the “almost out of time” sound toward the end of the game (da-duuuuuh). The “Nicktoon Moment of the Day” and the “Slimmest Moment” were a good touch, too. It’s like this show was finding its footing through the season likely to avoid annoying monotony.

Pandemic Precautions

A pandemic didn’t stop the production of this game show. I found it wise to make the host AI to prevent the further spread of COVID-19. They used a canned audience, instead of a live audience, to which I’m not accustomed. We never see the audience, only hear them. As per the credits, there were COVID compliance officers, disinfecting techs, and cleaning techs. Helps me feel more confident to compete if I were a contestant.

A Fun Game Show for Nicktoon Fans

I like how this Tooned In game show is focused on questions about Nicktoons. Watching this show is like how some people watch sports games on TV, things tend to get loud as I scream at the TV. I liked how this show was shown on weekdays, great for after work. Good to see there is a season 2 currently airing (but that’s for a different post). I want to be Nicky’s friend. We need a battle of the champions game some time. That will surely be something.

The Loud House Gets Schooled!

Have Watched, Review /

Posted 22 December 2020

The Loud House/Nickelodeon/Episode air date: 11 September 2020

In this season 6 premiere, Lincoln and his friends begin middle school. Complaining about the undesirable conditions of his classroom, Lincoln complains then ends up in a school in Canada. All this amid all other changes in the Loud household including Lori going to college and Lily going to preschool.

–Summary by Vic’s Review

Potential for a Musical?

Upon arriving at middle school, Lincoln and his friends break into a singing number (“We Got This”). Later, after Lincoln enters Canada for the first time, another song is sung (“Welcome to Canada”). If this were supposed to be a musical, shouldn’t there be more songs? Perhaps this special had the potential to become a musical. There could have been a “We Got This” reprise at the end.

Both songs were written by Doug Rockwell. He also performed “Welcome to Canada.” He also wrote every other song in this series (the theme song and songs in the other specials including all the songs in the episode “Really Loud Music”). Yep, they’re songs that complement the series well.

If that was Asher Bishop (the current Lincoln) singing in “We Got This,” he sure did put a lot of heart in his singing.

Leni’s Subplot

Leni has never been cuter in this entire series than in this episode. Even though Lori wasn’t around to regulate her wardrobe She wore a really cute, mismatched outfit. She rode a daycare bus to a school she thought was her own. Our classic, air-headed Leni!

The Portrayal of Canada

As I previously mentioned in previous posts, I like Canadian things, including Canadian TV. Riding a moose is on my bucket list and I haven’t ice skated in years. Taking a trip to Canada will help me check off those list items. I’m sure that in reality, processes in real life for Lincoln to attend school in another country are more complex than what was portrayed. Are there really students who arrive at school on moose-back? Can you really get thrown out of the country for turning down maple syrup? Those questions spark my curiosity. Perhaps moving to Canada sounds interesting right about now.

An Enjoyable Piece for the Back to School Season

In this first hour-long adventure, attention was drawn to the fact that Royal Woods, Michigan is located near the Canadian border. They use that fact to develop a story. This was a very entertaining episode overall. This special is sure to pave the way for future changes in the Loud House universe. Even if you’ve graduated from school long ago, can you still enjoy this special? “Yes, you CAN…ada” (yes, I stole a joke from Lynn Loud, Sr.).

Total Drama: A Preteen’s First Reality Show

Have Watched, Review /

Posted: 2 October 2020 

The Total Drama Series / Teletoon/Cartoon Network / 2007-Present 

Watched from 25 February 2020 – 10 June 2020 

What was the first reality show you ever watched? 

Total Drama was a series that lasted for many seasons. I have a lot to say about it but if I were to express them all, I’d be writing a novel. Here are some brief thoughts and recommendations. 

In the Total Drama Series, Chris McLean hosts a reality show starring a group of teenage contestants (often called campers (Total Drama Island), actors (Total Drama Action), etc…) They compete in various challenges (often dangerous ones) in hopes of not getting eliminated and winning thousands of dollars. While competing, the episodes highlight details of the “Total Dramas” between 2 or more contestants. These are often attempts to get one another eliminated. 

The Best Piece of Reality TV Satire…Ever! 

The show began in 2007 with “Total Drama Island” as the first series. Twenty-two teenagers competed for a large cash prize. The first series was a true classic! Each character had a purpose. In later seasons, it’s like the writers stopped caring because it felt like the seasons didn’t have the same charm as their predecessors. The seasons were much shorter and quicker. There were many throw-away characters. You’d pray certain characters would be first to get eliminated (and those prayers would usually get answered). Also, whenever the winner was revealed in later seasons, it just ended. The series ends in a scene with the winner holding the suitcase of money and Chris announces the end of the competition (namely in “Pahkitew Island”). 

Also, as the seasons changed, Chris became more and more of a madman, getting him arrested in the process (end of “Revenge of the Island”). Really, I think he’s hot and he knows he’s hot. Who’s ever heard of the kind host who cares about his contestants? 

All the bleeping and censored nudity adds authenticity. There is even uncensored barf. This would not go well with American censors. It seems like the Canadian censors are more lenient. If you initially watched on Cartoon Network, you may have realized later about the edits, mostly hearing less bleeping.  

The show is clearly Canadian (animation tells all). Throughout the series, I learn about places in Canada (Muskoka, Ontario, near where Camp Wawanakwa was located), the types of people (“Prairie People”), and I learned some slang words, too. That makes me want to learn all about Canada. Also, the word “Pahkitew” is Cree for an explosion. 

The Ridonculous Race 

In this Total Drama Spin-off, a different path is taken. They do an animated version of the hit reality show, “The Amazing Race” and I thought it went well. Don (the new host) does have some vanity in him. In “Ridonculous” not enough seasons were made to show if Don is really, really insane. If you were to close your eyes and play the first few seconds of an “Amazing Race” episode versus the beginning of a “Ridonculous” episode, you wouldn’t notice a difference. The audio qualities are similar and…let’s say they really nailed it on a type of audio a typical reality show should have. 

Total DramaRama 

I’ve seen a couple episodes and I think this is a cute series. I was a daycare kid myself so I can relate. They didn’t want the Total Drama franchise to die so they created this series to keep it alive. Great idea! 

Want to spark your interest in reality TV? 

Whether you’re wondering about the seasonal pattern of a reality show or just want to laugh at the types of people that are on it, this show is for you! This show can also serve as a preteen’s first “reality show,” paving the way for any live-action reality shows they may choose to watch later on. This is a great show to watch if you like reality show satire.  

What was my first reality TV show? Mine was “Looking for Love: Bachelorettes in Alaska” (FOX, Summer 2002). Of course you haven’t heard of it, it was bad and it lasted one season. I’m not really into reality TV because most reality shows tend to get a bit tense for me. I mostly enjoy the business improvement reality shows like Kitchen Nightmares (FOX, 2007-2014 (US version)), Hotel Hell (FOX, 2012-2016), and Hotel Impossible (Travel Channel, 2012-2017). Watching all these reality shows beforehand helped me understand, appreciate, and find humor in what “Total Drama” is mocking.

It’s Pony When Pony Teaches Public Speaking

Have Watched, Review /

Posted 29 August 2020

Dad’s Speech / It’s Pony / Premiered: 27 August 2020 / Nickelodeon

This week, Nickelodeon aired a week of premieres for “It’s Pony.” The episode “Dad’s Speech” stood out to me. 

Annie volunteers her father to speak to her class about farming. George Bramley knows a lot about farming but has trouble speaking about it in large groups. Pony teaches George how to face his public speaking fears leading to bizarre results.

–Summary by Vic’s Review

Public speaking is a common fear among certain individuals. This especially applies to Annie’s dad who is a farmer. Farming doesn’t frequently involve public speaking. When George begins to take lessons from Pony, he gets a bit too confident becoming the same troublemaker as Pony. This episode gives tips on how to overcome public speaking anxiety. These tips include not getting embarrassed or flustered and having good voice projection. Pony has all of these qualities.

I personally don’t mind public speaking but I would suggest this episode for those who do (but they shouldn’t act like Pony when overcoming their fears). I liked it when George cracked that joke about the tomato and the salad dressing. Whenever I hear Annie’s classmate Henrietta speak, I hear Mandy’s voice (from “The Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy” (Cartoon Network, 2003-2008 (separate series))). Grey DeLisle-Griffin used Mandy’s voice for Henrietta’s voice. I haven’t rated individual episodes in a while. Should I carry on with the star system or just say whether I suggest this episode or not? I’ll just say if you have issues with public speaking, just watch this episode and remember its events. This episode doesn’t formally teach public speaking but can quell the fears for those that have them.

Note: Yes, I have retired the star system for my ratings. The star system was widely used in my old blog and has become outdated. Yeah, I might just do suggestions rather than rate a show from 1-5.

Get to Know Wander Over Yonder

Have Watched, Review /

Posted: 28 February 2020

Wander Over Yonder / Disney Channel and Disney XD / 2013-2016

Recently Watched From July 8, 2019-August 6, 2019

Wander Over Yonder is one of the few Disney animations made in the early 2010’s I can tolerate. I’m glad I found it a couple months into its run. What drew me to it was the fact it was created by Craig McCracken (also created “PowerPuff Girls,” “Foster’s Home…”). The biggest problem was that I didn’t have the Disney XD channel so I had to watch 1 or 2 episodes at a time on the website (the same way I started with Gravity Falls). I was a bored, broke college kid who couldn’t afford fancy cable so I needed my fix of episodes when they rotated the episodes every 2 weeks. Luckily, when I got a job, I was able to buy all the seasons available on YouTube.

How Did I Like It?

I found out about this show early July 2014 (10 months after the initial premiere) after someone mentioned the name in a YouTube comment. After watching the intro for the first time, I wanted more. The show was still pretty young at the time so there was still so much more the writers had yet to reveal to us. The Wander character himself made me feel happy and optimistic. Wander teaches us and the other characters one main lesson: with positivity, tough times will pass.

I used to think Lord Hater was the best villain ever conceived. He wasn’t really that mean but he was evil enough. He had cool things (a cool bedroom, a torture chamber, a cool spaceship). Commander Peepers and the army of Watchdogs were cool, too. He was the best until Lord Dominator showed up (whose female). Despite taking his #1 spot on the galactic villain leaderboard, Hater developed a drooling crush on Dominator because of how evil she is. This domination (no pun intended) turned Hater into a weaker villain but he and Commander Peepers became quite an awesomely close (and loud) duo. It made me forget they had an army of Watchdogs who were after Wander and Sylvia.

Do I Want It Back?

I’ve heard numerous reasons for Wander’s cancellation ranging from availability to the cost of production. All in all, this show is all-around expensive. I’m not shelling out money for a channel that hardly shows my favorite shows at reasonable times. If this show had more exposure, namely for those who can’t afford Disney XD, it would be very popular. This show had so much potential for more viewers and a line of merchandise. I’d buy a Wander backpack for myself. Too bad that potential was never explored. As for a revival any time soon, all I have to say is it had its run. The cancellation gave me more time to watch all the episodes. All I say we can do now is find a similar show just as good but unique in its own way. It might not be right away, but you’ll know when you’ve found it.

Give this show some love!

I feel Wander Over Yonder wasn’t exposed enough during its three-year run. It would be quite a phenomenon had it become more popular; more or less a competitor for Nickelodeon’s Spongebob Squarepants. I really hope this show never becomes forgotten. As a die-hard “Foster’s Home…” fan, I think this show exceeded the expectations that “Foster’s” had set. This show gets 4 stars (the show ended with slightly lower quality than how it started but it was still great). Even if it costs several bucks, buy some episodes of this show, watch them, and you will start smiling.

Nickelodeon’s Televised Spongebob Musical

Have Watched, Review /

Posted 12 January 2020; Initially written 8 December 2019

Yes, I am now able to watch Nickelodeon at home again.

Saturday night, December 7, 2019, Nickelodeon aired a professionally taped edition of the Spongebob Musical. This musical starred Ethan Slater as Spongebob, Gavin Lee as Squidward, Danny Skinner as Patrick, and Christina Sajous as Sandy. Since I couldn’t see it live on Broadway, I found it convenient that Nick televised it so more people can see it.

Watched out of Pure Curiosity

I’ve followed this mantra for a good fraction of my life, “If it’s on Nickelodeon, give it a try!” (This later began to apply when I started watching Cartoon Network). Apparently, it still follows today. I didn’t watch the musical from the very beginning on first airing but luckily my streaming service had it on DVR. With the initial December 7th airing running time of 2 hours, 30 minutes, I’ll say this is a musical all right (the 2-hour version is fine too although they cut out Patchy the Pirate’s first appearance and his singing number with the other pirates)! With Spongebob running as long as it has, I’m not surprised it received the Broadway treatment. I’ve been a Spongebob admirer on and off these past 20 years so my thoughts of a musical dedicated to everyone’s favorite yellow sponge were, “Why not?”

Improving Your Viewing Experience

The costuming was very interesting as to make the human actors add representation to their respective characters. The sets were designed very creatively (inventive stage space usage, especially for the mountain climbing scenes with ladders). Just imagine the characters in their animated form. Whatever they do, mentally visualize the actions like you’re watching a regular episode of Spongebob. If you imagine smart enough, this could seem like an animated musical, mentally animated by YOU! Yes, the costuming can seem cheesy at times but with your (forms rainbow with hands) IMAGINATION, this could be the best musical you’ll ever see. It would be even better if you’re lucky enough to see it live.

Give It a Chance!

This musical has been on tour since 2016 but I just recently became aware of this. I saw that some songwriters I admire wrote some songs (David Bowie, Brian Eno, They Might Be Giant…) so that’s a plus. I especially liked Plankton and Karen’s costumes which were very creatively made (actor dressed in a green suit with an eyepatch representing Plankton’s one eye; using both a wheeled screen and a mad scientist-like lady to portray Karen). Again, this musical would be much better had I seen it live. It’s nice that Nick aired this. I personally prefer the 2-hour version and not the 2.5-hour version if I watch on Nick. I’d have to pay good money to watch a 2.5-hour musical. I’m giving this musical 3 stars. I’m regaining my interest in Spongebob now that I can watch more Nickelodeon. I can’t wait to continue to catch up on what I missed and be more in the loop about the ever ongoing news about the Spongebob Squarepants franchise.

Spooky Loud House Ep Review

Have Watched, Review /

Posted: 31 October 2019

The Last Loud on Earth / The Loud House / Premiered: 19 October 2019 / Nickelodeon

Yes, I also like to watch the Loud House/Casagrande shows on Nickelodeon. What’s a better way to post a short review than a recent spooky-themed episode of The Loud House in honor of Halloween? This is going to be a short review for once. I can do another post about my interest in the mentioned 2 shows in a later post.

What It’s About

Lincoln and Clyde stayed up all night to binge-watch their favorite movie saga. The next morning they assumed a zombie apocalypse happened so they defend themselves from what they assumed were zombies. Not knowing that a storm evacuation was in effect prepared the boys for dangerous zombie encounters yet the adventure was all driven by their plentiful imaginations.

“Clincoln McCloud” + Halloween = Quite a Combination

This episode is an exceptional example of the Adventures of Clincoln McCloud. Now those are the fun eps. An episode of this category earns 4 stars. I really like The Loud House.  I admire the art style. Whether or not the original creator is involved, it’s still admirable. I’ve recently started watching this show again and it’s still good. I can’t wait to see what else season 4 has to offer.

Invader Zim: Enter the Florpus – My Journey Into the Florpus Hole

Have Watched, Reboot, Review /

Posted 12 September 2019

Invader Zim: Enter the Florpus / Netflix / 2019 

I’m craaaaazy for Invader Zim so bear with me through this lengthy post.

Finally…AGAIN!

The day of August 16th, 2019 was the day of great anticipation. Many Invader Zim fans and admirers opened their Netflix accounts to find that the highly awaited movie, Invader Zim: Enter the Florpus, became available for viewing. I was among those anticipating fans who have waited for ages for its release. Let me say, this was like watching a new ep but with many improvements made in a short time since the premiere of the last official episode. Either way, with Invader Zim, you can’t go wrong.

Chicken and Rice…YUM!

The first part of this movie is based on issue 1 of the Invader Zim comic. Later on, it goes into all kinds of “Zim-sanity” that parallels greatly with the original series. I’ve never been good with summarizing “Zim” eps but I can say Zim overtakes Peace Day, the Tallest and their ship fly in a straight line, and an event happens on Moo-Ping 10, the space prison. My favorite part was the “Peace is Nice” song that GIR wrote. I also liked those brief licks about the ever-important ham that was mentioned in the movie twice. What was it used for? Watch the movie to find out!

A Welcomed Art Style Change

I enjoy the new art style of the Zim franchise. The colors are brighter than the style of the old series but still maintains its signature look with prominent greens, purples, and blacks. Though the new style looks a lot cheaper than the old animation style (which was very expensive to animate), I’ve warmed up to it a bit. I like how the actual opening credits are in the font reminiscent of Jhonen Vasquez’s’ comics. These fonts complement this new art style.

The Effort with Different Styles

To set this reboot movie apart from the other ones that stayed mostly true to their original style, this Zim movie boldly experimented with multiple different styles. One case was the pretty sweet cold intro. Dib had a dramatic monologue in the humanly realistic art style similar to the anime “JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure” (as people on the internet say, I just watched a few clips of the anime and somewhat agree). Toward the end of the movie, they used multiple animation styles for something happening that made me remember the Gravity Falls Weirdmageddon series.

Retained Essence and More

What’s more awesome was that the original cast returned to reprise their roles (Richard Horvitz, Rikki Simons, Andy Berman, to name a few) and they still have it! They even brought back the original series composer (Kevin Manthei) and he still has it! New music was composed for this special but when GIR told his giant pizza story, listen to the music. Was that music recycled off an older ep? Which one? Or was it just in a similar style to the familiar piece? They also brought in Justin Roiland (of Rick and Morty fame) to voice Foodio 3000. Perhaps this was to appeal to those Rick and Morty fans who are also Zim fans.

More Depth for Membranes

I also like how the Membrane family now has more depth. The older eps have them more two-dimensional and with not as much personality leading viewers to think they were a broken family. As portrayed in the movie (and starting in the comics), Prof. Membrane was actually present in person, more fatherly, and not a floating head like in the original series. Dib looks slightly different now, too. Being subject to the slight character designs of the comic, he now has a fuller head of hair, a new t-shirt, darker skin, and wears sneakers. The trench coat is what makes Dib Dib. Gaz has more personality, too, with a wardrobe change that makes her look more approachable and less anti-social. It’s good to see those pretty eyes opened more often. I’m not too fond of Clembrane but maybe as an occasional character to which I can warm up. The more I watch the movie, the more OK he becomes.

Was It Worth It?

Each reboot movie I reviewed (Arnold, Rocko, and now Zim) was great in their own special ways but this movie is in a league of its own. It went beyond its comfort zone especially to change to art style to that of the comic as well as to attempt other styles for certain parts. It’s a really happy feeling to see something Zim-related that is officially animated. Do I want a revival series? Yes, but maybe for just 6-13 episodes only. Don’t kill this masterpiece of a show. If not, the monthly comics are sufficient enough. I have been super fond of Invader Zim since shortly after its debut. For all my years of loyalty, this movie should get 10 stars. Since that’s not in my rating system (which needs to change soon), I’ll just give it 5 stars. Still the best in its own Zim way!

I have much more to say about my loyalty to the Invader Zim franchise but I might leave it for a separate post to be written soon.

Many, Many Hoots for Rocko’s Modern Life: Static Cling

Have Watched, Reboot, Review /

Posted 25 August 2019

Rocko’s Modern Life: Static Cling / Netflix / 2019

Yes, FINALLY!

After months of waiting and waiting, on August 9, 2019, Rocko’s Modern Life fans were finally gifted with a new Netflix movie. This is the first Rocko production since its ending in the mid-’90s. With little information about the special revealed in the preview, this was worth the wait to see what this story about constant change entailed.

An Old, Unseen Episode or a Legit New Episode?

This special was like it only came out a year or two after the last ep of the original series. The art style was definitely true to the old show. The caliber is that of a season 4 episode (a good season). Heck, it’s like an old ep only if HD was standard in ‘96 or ‘97. The voice actors were absolutely on point with their character voices. This was a special that transports us back to the ‘90s with a story exceptionally adapted to the happenings of our modern society.

Those Classic Orange Tapes

Not to give out spoilers but one ‘90s Nick reference in the movie that stood out to me was an orange Fatheads VHS tape. Nickelodeon used to produce their VHS releases in the ‘90s with orange tapes. I think that’s really cool and unique that they did that. They stopped the practice with their later VHS releases. 

Looking Back…

Similar to Hey Arnold: The Jungle Movie (read review here), there were numerous call-backs to past episodes. If you’ve seen and remember these original eps, these references will make sense. It definitely helped me to watch the old Rocko eps earlier this year to catch and better understand these allusions.

Will Never Get Stale

With the theme of change being all around us, I recommend this movie for all Rocko fans (present and future (those just joining the fandom)). With the show name of “Rocko’s Modern Life,” this franchise can definitely poke fun of many cultures through time whether the “modern life” is in the ‘90s with VCRs or the ‘00s and ‘10s with YouTube and Smartphones. It all stays fresh! Because of the phenomenal effort of successfully integrating a well-loved ‘90s Nicktoon into our tech-filled decade, 5 stars go to Rocko, Heffer, and Filburt who learn change is the key to fresh ideas, innovations, and tomorrows. This special is only available on Netflix. Watch this next time you log on.
