Mrs. Lady Zedd and I - Zeddblidd the Movie Cartographer - welcome you to our movie challenge. We’ll watch and share our quirky stories on another 500 movies. The highlight of our plunky process - The Movie Algorithm Project (MAP), an innovative 4th Gen. “Enjoyment Meter” which renders an easy to understand, personalized score on a 100-metric. I’m going to switch it up a little this year as we’re planning a MAP overhaul, that’s going to take some time. Pull up a chair and get your *Movie On!*

Two For Special…

2024-185 / MLZ MAP: 51.18 / Zedd MAP: 57.28 / Score Gap: 6.10

IMDb Summary: After an acrimonious break up, the Mystery Inc. gang are individually brought to an island resort to investigate strange goings on.

Oh how we loved the Scooby Doo cartoons when we were kiddos. In fact, we still like them quite a lot. Little Miss Zedd also loves them, so this movie was absolutely a favorite as she was growing up.

There is really the good, the bad, and the ugly in this little film. The good = Matthew Lillard the best Shaggy ever created. Don’t forget the cute-as-a-button Linda Cardellini as Velma. The bad = the horrific CGI effects which were not great when they came out, and which are awful now. The ugly = Scrappy Doo, glad they showed him for the little sonofabitch he is.

It’s not easy to go from animated to live action. This was not the best one I’ve seen, but not the worst either.

Oh, by the way it was filmed in Australia, which is our transition into…

2024-186 / MLZ MAP: 97.69 / Zedd MAP: 98.74 / Score Gap: 1.05

IMDb Summary: This hilarious mockumentary film follows the numerous misadventures of a porta-john worker through both his personal and professional life, including an oddly glamorous excursion to the Pumper and Cleaner Expo in Nashville, TN.

We have a few movies on the shelf that are treasures. I mean, most are treasures, but some, some are the kind of treasures where we own two copies just in case one spontaneously combusts, or I inexplicably fall while holding a disc and scratch it beyond repair (I am always a moment from having a klutzy accident.) We must retain this film in our collection. Period.

Kenny is one of these. Awhile back I realized that we were just huge fans of Aussie films, and I grabbed a few, sight unseen, to try and expand the collection.

Kenny is just the sweetest guy, just trying to live his life, work his job, and care for his son. However, since his job involves human waste, people tend to treat him like it.

Watching dear Kenny just keep doing his best and being the kindest soul down under, you just have to wonder, will he ever be appreciated as the hero he really is?

We were glad to Movie On to these couple of flicks today, all we were missing, was YOU!
