“Video has decent chemistry between its protagonists I guess but their mismatched height made me uncomfortable. Male leads exposed kneecaps were very distracting, and how much water does he need to drink in one video?! Or maybe he needed something stronger in that way too blue water bottle to deal with female leads constant needy and obvious attempts to wheedle clues out of him. Trash taste in books goes without saying, will be unsubscribing immediately after the follow up apology video. Waiting patiently” Seriously tho, we need Corey in more videos, he seems incapable of letting Merphy take herself too seriously and it’s a great dynamic.

Even for my least favorite books ever, like the detective novel I call the midlife crisis book. If Merphy can aspire to leave a funny one star then I can aspire to just leave a single one star review. By the end of the year I will leave a one star even if I do it by just reading Cursed Child again.

1/5 stars - This video I couldn't get over how much of a crutch Corey ended up being in this video. So much exploitation, but at the same time waste, of a manly presence. He's more than a hot bod and I feel like we, as the viewer, are held back from that out of what I can only imagine is a deep-seated jealousy that a fully realized Korey might attract a larger audience who demands his contributions have equal weight. On a lesser note, the extent to which Murphy must make this into a competition without teeth (3 guesses???) just so she can justify her deep-seated pyromaniac desires cries out the need for professional help or at least an alert to the local authorities. In the end, all we got was a Walmart special Daniel Greene with some arm candy. ***** How's that 1* review? :)
