Movies we Saw to Review in 2023

 Ant Man and the Wasp Quantumania

Puss in Boots and Puss in Boots The Last Wish

Meh.

65 Million Years

Fun but silly. 

Jackass 4.5

Crazy fun. 

Dungeons and Dragons Honor Among Thieves

Very good. 

Super Mario Bros 2023

Excellent. 

Shazam Fury of the Gods

Meh. 

Susume no Tajiman (Susan the Lock Up Girl)

Very good.

Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 3

Excellent.

Fast X Fast and the Furious 10 Part 1

Cheesy but very good. 

The Little Mermaid 2023

OMG. No Disney, stop making these. It's not the girl. It's a dumb idea.

Spider Man Across the Spider Verse

Excellent, but it's a cliffhanger at end. 

Transformers Rise of the Beasts

Finally they aren't hiding they watch our stuff. Very good.  Love letter to Lexicons and MUSH.

The Flash 2023

Okay but too much Ezra Miller is not a good thing. Old Batman, cool, but misses the mark. 

Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny

You had a decent movie until the time travel dumb part. If you had just cut that out! If only.  

Writer and actor strikes begin.

Mission Impossible 7 Dead Reckoning part 1

Pretty brilliant and the train scene at the end, holy cow. 

Oppenheimer

Brilliant but overlong and had an hour of completely unneeded stuff and looks into his mind. If you got rid of that, it's Oscar best picture, best actor, best director, material. 

Barbie the movie

Brilliant and just pretty in pink. Best actress, hands down. 

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Mutant Mayhem

Not bad, Seth Rogan. Liked his take on the Nick toon version of TMNT.  SuperFly steals it.

Blue Beetle

It crawled up his butt. Nuff said. 

The Marvels

Having seen some of the shows, you can get it, but there are some very messy plot convenience in this.

In House productions Queenb33 studios

August to September 

Nine hour miniseries season of the Sentinels.

Robotech meets the Transformers Liberations

Robotech meets the Transformers Challengers

Robotech meets the Transformers Destinies

Absolutely the best love letter to Robotech to come out since we did Trans Tech and released it a decade ago. 

October to November 

Ten part series and movies series.

Starship Locations Destinations 

A love letter to Star Trek Deep Space Nine and Voyager that delivers the feels and is epic, ending with a blockbuster level movie finale made from one of our Distant Destinies stories. 

Writer and actors strikes end. 

December 

Three part mini series total 6 hours.

Blessings Deferred the Miniseries

A beautiful flawed jewel of a magnum opus to Grandma Knapp that is both religious and not pandering, and uses the action figures from Starship Destinations because it's a motion comic, but in different paint and it is surprisingly on point.

Codename Megaroad Update. Sentinels first story wraps filming!

 On the set of the indy film Robotech meets the Transformers, a 14 day long shoot ended with the completion of principal filming using the video camcorder used on Lexicons. Because of this being an independent production, it is no SAG or WGA, and not for profit, so the strikes were not in play. 

Marx Cards even visited the set twice. He is also not in those.

The 'cast' completed last pages of filming after he left for the evening. 

Clint Cowpoke produced and directed the film, based on the collection of short stories left over from Lexicons, the Transformers wiki. 

During production, one more name that had been accidentally left out, but whose story is in it, was added back into the credits after it was determined the person didn't mind at all. The name wasn't similar to a different person who had an issue with their name, but not with this film, and permission was granted. 

The bloopers and behind the scenes are light and Cowpoke pointed out, in the heat of the evening, that they're not really very funny anyway. Mostly the camera falling off the little stand, a blurry figure, or some brief off hand lecture about how filming and framing with action figures is tricky. 

The original Trans Tech back in the 2000s had been replete with issues, a third of it had to be redone, like later Chimera, and the first film took 3 years, the next 2 more, and the next 2 more, ending in 2008 or so. The first of this 'season' took 14 days. Days. 

Also Cowpoke noted that the Star Trek Strange New Worlds has as sloppy camera work in the dark scenes as this, which is not an excuse. He said, if he can do better with a 300 dollar camcorder from 2018, the guys with a 10000 dollar camera rig should be able to look into the lens and not have blurry men in the fore and background. They had at least two on air bloopers like that this season, one of which is in the finale, where you can tell the cameraman is in the dark and can't see the actor! 

That kind of rant is what you're in for in the making of, not so much about topical humor or history of Robotech.

The story is an indirect sequel to Return of the Shadows, 2018, and to the MUSH  stories, Stranded on Mascross 2020, and Shared Hallucinations, 2021, although you need not know those to get it. The opening scenes set up 'this is a different timeline where a space plague and the Transformers arrival prevented the Robotech war, but they still go to Tirol, Haydon and Optera'. 

Curiously it does line up with the loss of the Megaroad from Macross, which allegedly vanished in 2016, but now it is 2024 and presumably they find it, well sort of. 

But you need not worry about that either, as this is another timeline where the Transformers Autobots of the story become infested with Masters and Haydon tech, becoming the Sentinels, and the Decepticon faction becomes the Invid. 

Cowpoke said this is because they made a scant amount of Invid toys, and most of ours are broken, so we can't use them, so Transformers they have to be. Also the Alpha fighters are broken, and cannot be used, so the Auobots will do, and they're the good guys. 

The movie edition Cobra Commander with his space shot helmet looked to Cards like Daft Punk. Ha. 

Special effects could take another week. Assembling the movie could take half that. 

It is likely this will be a September release.

Cancelled Projects will not effect YouTube channels or online books

 Kats media has gone under.

As of this date, 12 June 2023, all affiliated and subbed media for On Location KATS that is not online is hereby liquidated and cancelled. Videos online carrying the name may continue as they are not for profit, and they will not be removed or copies. 

All in house copies, collections, and former physical media stories cannot be sold and should be liquidated.

The joke name Pirated Productions and the name Slick Otter will remain, as will KATS, and affiliates, in digital form online. No ad senses or sale.

The vast majority of Browne media productions, collections, and all physical media, have been hereby cancelled and will not be distributed in any way for sale. 

All physical media, mostly DVDs and BluRays, have been sent to a local Goodwill store. 

Most of the generations Transformers toys have also been given to Goodwill. The broken down ones were destroyed. 

All of the copies, originals and reprints of On Location, The Fictional Adventures, Star Crackers, Distant Destinies (and affiliates and all spin offs), have been discarded. 

Amazon versions of the Kal Kat and Marx Cards, Browne and Yeager  stories will remain online and will not be affected. 

Online spin offs and stories still exist and will not be removed.

With the return and success of online Browne Video Collection, (through Kitty Ki) Kal Kat Reviews, The Kal Kat show, On Location Kat, and Starship Locations, the YouTube channels will remain online and not be affected. 

Weird Kitty 07 may continue, as well as reviews, as this channel has 1k videos.

The Kal Kat show will officially end this season with the new years even finale, but the channel will remain posting updates. Although officially the series ended in 2015, it had continued for 8 more years as 'updates or reviews', 

They are no longer doing a Star Crackers reboot movie. Kind of can't. 

Due to the YouTube algorithm, all of our subscribers left us during the 2010s period, especially after coverage of scandals online, and during the pandemic there was some uptake, but most left. 

Therefore, Talking Pointless is cancelled immediately. 

The Martial Sportiest has been cancelled, but Kitty Ki does free to watch business as Browne Video Collection. (It is not the same Kitty Ki as the original). 

FFOK Fractured Feet of Clay will remain but will phase out some of their content, and will no longer air bobble head Funko pop stories, but those that are up will not be deleted. 

On Location Kats Reviews will still exist as a channel. 

They are no longer doing any Blair Witch parodies. 

Just as well.
