The great Ron Van Clief deserved better than this slapdash and shoddy documentary. It's mostly just an extended interview with him where he struggles to remember things, gets dates mixed up, rambles a bit, and repeats himself. The few clips are really bad quality and the photos are often improperly sized and stretched. The only interviews done seem to have been done at comic cons, complete with crowd noise and displays behind them, or else self-made by people in their houses. It was nice to see a few karate clips, but there needed to be some kind of effort to get to the heart of the man and SHOW him, not just use a 35 minute interview and leave it at that. The guy is a legend and deserved better.

Steve Uriel's eagerness at the holidays annoys people so he makes an app to measure holiday cheer. Then a tech billionaire takes it and turns people into point chasing zombies so Urkel has to go to Santa for help.

Overall this was ok, despite a few really bad songs, and Jaleel White's inability to do Urkel's voice anymore. It had a message sort of and included lots of other holiday traditions. But it's 25 years after Urkel was a thing and this is filled with inside jokes and call backs that kids don't understand and it's also not funny, adult, or interesting enough for adults who grew up watching Urkel. The family matters characters are MIA and the Santa reveal doesn't land at all. So while it's not the worst Christmas special it also exists in a realm of "why?"

This mostly focuses on Vampiro producing Triple Mania 25 and how he relates to his daughter. There is very little focus on his career or life beyond a few mentions. It really wants to show you what a great dad he is, and he certainly comes across that way for sure, but if you were looking for any kind of biographical story, you may be disappointed. It goes into detail about his health issues to the extent that you wonder how he's able to do anything at all.

The guy has a history or telling different stories, so maybe it was best they didn't try to give you all that much, but it would have been nice to see more of an attempt to set the record straight.

If you want to see behind the scenes of AAA, this will be great, but if you want more about Vampiro, you may be disappointed.
