Bingeworthy Review: Trailer Park Boys: out of the Park: Europe

It’s another week, and today I got another Bingeworthy review for all you lovelies out there. This week, I am reviewing a short spin-off series, of a show I had already reviewed a few months ago. Granted, I gave that show poor reviews but whatever. Anyway. let’s review: Trailer Park Boys: out of the Park Europe.

If you have ever seen the Trailer Park Boys, you’ll know that it is notorious for being foul-mouthed, white trash and to put it generally, f%$ked. The three main characters are: Ricky, the white trash, foul-mouthed, drug dealer. Bubbles the kind, intelligent kitten loving nerd. and Julian, the musclebound, alcoholic leader of the group. The original show centered around these three friends living in Sunnyvale trailer Park and followed them stealing, smoking dope, and cursing their mouths off like there’s no tomorrow.

In the spin-off that just released on Netflix on October 28, takes the three main trailer park boys and take them out of the trailer park, and have them tour around Europe. I mean, you could have probably guessed that much based on the title, but whatever I have to write at least five hundred words for each article. That’s why I wrote “Five Hundred” instead of “500” like a normal person. Where was I? So the show takes the three main characters and put them in a completely different scenario. Instead of trying to make ends meet with illegal activities, they are met with an entirely different problem.

The guys at Swearnet (if you ever seen the show, you’ll know that Swearnet is the entertainment company that films and “documents” the Trailer Park Boys.) promise Ricky, Bubbles and Julian a free paid vacation across Europe. However, that is not the case. Due to a certain Character not reading the contract, the boys aren’t getting paid without a little work. and not work you’d think like live shows or stealing or dealing drugs. The boss of swearnet gives the boys a list of ridiculous tasks to complete in order to make any money. Along the way they meet some pretty big names in the entertainment industry (in Europe anyways.) people like Crosby Stills and Nash, and Noel Fielding (old greg from the mighty boosh, and Richmond from the IT Crowd.) Can the boys make any money to buy Dope, Liquor or even food?

Trailer Park Boys Out of the Park Europe is a completely different monster as oppose to the original show. The spinoff is a bit like an idiot abroad, where you take a couple of white trash morons and out them in a completely different society. The jokes are pretty much limited to Ricky Bubbles and Julian reacting to their new surroundings with no money and having to do ridiculous things to get by. They are deviating from what they originally were, but it falls short when you realize these are just characters and not actual white trash morons embarrassing themselves throughout Europe.

Overall the spin-off is not terrible. It definitely has a scripted “An idiot Abroad” feel to it with a little bit of a “top gear; Complete these challenges” aspect to it. The show does have its moments and it is pretty short so it's not like you'd waste any time with it. If you're a fan of Trailer park boys I think it’s a good watch, but if you're unfamiliar with the style of comedy then don do it.

Score: 3.5/5

The Great Christmas Movie Debate

"A Christmas Story" is the star on top of the tree.

The Great Christmas Movie Debate
Mental Floss

One staple of the Christmas season is sitting around the television watching a Christmas movie with family and friends. But of the seemingly hundreds of movies, which one is the star on the tree? Some share stories of Santa to children ("Santa Claus Is Coming to Town"), others want to spread the Christmas joy to adults ("It's a Wonderful Life"), and a select few are made to get laughs ("Elf"). All good movies, but merely ornaments on the Christmas tree of the best movies. What tops the tree is a movie that bridges the gap between these three movies, and makes it a great watch for anyone who chooses to watch it. Enter the timeless Christmas classic, "A Christmas Story." Created in 1983, this movie holds the tradition of capturing both young and old eyes for 24 straight hours on its Christmas Day marathon. It gets the most coverage out of all holiday movies, but the sheer amount of times it's on television does not make it the greatest. Why is it,
then? A Christmas Story does not try to tell the tale of a Christmas miracle or use Christmas magic to move the story. What it does do though is tell the real story of Christmas. It is relatable and brings out the unmatched excitement of children on Christmas in everyone who watches. Every one becomes a child again when they watch "A Christmas Story."

It's the most wonderful time of the year! Christmas is one of my personal favorite holidays because of the Christmas traditions my family upholds generation after generation. After talking to a few of my friends at college, I realized that a lot of them don't really have "Christmas traditions" in their family, and I want to help change that. Here's a list of Christmas traditions that my family does, and anyone can incorporate into their family as well!

Everyone has to take them, and yes, unfortunately, they are inevitable. But just because they are here and inevitable does not mean they’re peaches and cream and full of rainbows.
