On-Air Series Review: Jinkies! Scooby-Doo Gang Reboot of 'Velma'
CHICAGO – Patrick McDonald of HollywoodChicago.com appears on The Eddie Volkman Show with Hannah B on WSSR-FM (Star 96.7 Joliet, Illinois) on January 20th, reviewing the new series reboot “Velma,” created by Mindy Kaling and featuring the Scooby-Doo gang. Currently streaming on HBO Max.
Rating: 4.0/5.0 |
Mindy Kaling herself voices Velma, the glasses wearing smart nerd of the SCOOBY-DOO gang, and like Kaling, Velma’s roots lie in India immigrants. The rest of the gang is diverse, with bi-racial Norville AKA Shaggy (Sam Richardson) adopted Asian-American Daphne (Constance Wu) and still-white-male Fred (Glenn Howerton). This is an origin story, and of course there are mysteries to be solved.
