So every Friday, I figure why not 'Feel Good'!  It's a vibe.  Holiday Valley, New York's Largest Ski Resort is all about feeling good...  It's a perfect match.  Today on WQMX from 3-7pm call or text in your 'Feel Good Friday's' those things that might put a smile on our faces.

  
It could be a birthday, anniversary, wedding, engagement, something fun or you won tickets to from WQMX.  I've had so many off the wall thngs that hopefully have made you smile.   Even baby goats being delivered on Easter, cool proposals, to humble brags, grandparents meeting their grandchild for the first time after Covid,  and old friends returning to Akron and Northeast Ohio.  There is nothing too big or too small.  The fun is sharing, smiling and Feelin Good!  

So join in every Friday... or even call or text them in to 330-370-2000 on Thursday!  (I'll make it work!)  And have a great weekend!  And check out Holiday Valley, New York's Largest Ski Resort!

So the other day,  I heard Scott and Sarah, (no pun intended pitching) Pitch Black Mt. Dew.  I found it and figured put a little "Gabby Barrett" in my day. ("Pick Me Up")

My overall thoughts were in the picture above...  1. Tired, 2. Hey, I have a Pitch Black Mt. Dew Energy, 3. Energy!!!! and 4. Let's "Dew" this show.

The Pitch Black Mt. Dew is described as "a blast of dark citrus punch"...  It is a light purple soda.  Tastes like a blueberry drink to me but that maybe just the finish.

It is not the same as the Mt. Dew Purple Thunder at Circle K for a limited time....  and it is nothing like the Flaming Hot Flavor, thankfully.  

Let me start with, I am not much of a movie buff...

If you are wondering what will be the big movies of 2023.  There are a lot of people on WQMX who are way bigger cinefiles than me...

But I will try my best "Siskel & E-Ben" on this one time...

'Avatar The Way of Water' seems to be holding it's own at the box office. Will it surpass Top Gun: Maverick from last year?  I'm sure it will give it a run especially with Avatar 3 already in the can.

One movie that I did not see coming was M3GAN the female Chucky Movie (or so it seems) made $30 million on opening.

They have already started a sequel.. I thought the story could have been told in 1 hour and 42 minutes.  I guess not.  It took Chucky 8 movies.

Just some thoughts for sequel names:  M3GAN's Play, M3GAN vs. Chucky, Cult of M3GAN, Husband of M3GAN, Bride of M3GAN, Seed of M3GAN...

Some other movies in 2023 to look out for..  Cocaine Bear in February, Creed III in March, Mario Movie in April,  Guardians Of The Galaxy is one that is sticking out to me in May, Barbie in July, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles in August, Wonka and Ghosterbusters Afterlife 2 in December. 

Out of the 2023 movie releases, some you will want to see over and over again.  Some you will want to never see M3GAN.  

My Siskel & E-Ben Grade is: 2-Doll Hands (whatever that means.)  Sorry, I didn't watch the movie.

The Psuedo-Female Chucky Movie maybe perfectly fine.  Judge for yourself here is the trailer.  

Since Scott and Sarah dropped their Top 5 Songs of 2022 This Morning.  Might as well add my Top 5 too!

Maybe not if this is how you get the HARDY Guitar.  When WWE hits Nashville you never know who is in and coming out of the crowd.   Some hardcore fans thought it was Matt and/or Jeff Hardy former WWE Wrestlers back in action, but it was Michael HARDY.

HARDY is promoting the new album and the fact 'Sold Out' is the theme song of The Royal Rumble!

EXCLUSIVE: Excited for his upcoming album release on Jan 20 and the announcement of his live performance at the #RoyalRumble PLE, @HardyMusic says that when his fellow musician @IAmEliasWWE needed some help, he wasn’t going to stand by on the sidelines.#WWERaw pic.twitter.com/ikWB0q43jD

Wednesday Night was WWE Holiday Tour at Rocket Mortgage Fieldhouse.  A great show, a power packed card with a cage match, a women's championship match and well my favorite was The Miz.  The Miz works the home crowd so well.  He reeled us in and just backhanded every Northeast Ohioian.   The Parma kid who went to Normandy High School and on the Real World...  had us fans drop our guard with his pleasantries saying the crowd electrified him when he came out.   The City of Cleveland was the mecca, a "it" spot to be... The Cavs will be in the Playoffs.  The Guardians will be in the Playoffs again.  And The Browns...   well...  THEY WILL BE IN THE PLAYOFFS NEXT YEAR!!!!'   Crowd roared... 

Then that backhanded thing.... he changed gears pretty quickly as he called everyone fat, lazy and how he is god's gift to fitness and looks. He claims LA as his home not Cleveland.  Which in his regular everyday life you know he is Cleveland and Ohio 100%.  Needless to say the crowd was pretty upset after that...   The Miz can play a crowd like no other, it was a great promo and a great show.  Hopefully you got to check out the show or won your tickets from WQMX.
