This is the slowest I’ve read something in quite a long time, but based on how quickly I was going through novels the last few months, this was a nice reprieve. After watching TNT’s The Alienist in 2018, I learned for the first time a few months ago that it was based on the book of the same name! So I headed to my local library and picked that puppy up!

Prodigal Son: Skimming the Surface of Potential Greatness
As I get further and further into Prodigal Son, I can’t find myself really getting into it too much. The most distracting quality of the show is the weekly procedural case. They are just too quick. I would have really liked to have seen them expand on the copycat killer from the first episode, but based on the preview for next week it looks like they are going to address a different copycat…odd.

It fact, this may have been a Most Stuffed movie weekend! That’s right, in three short days, I watched six movies. I know what you’re thinking (she doesn’t have a life), but I just want you all to be informed! And because I watched so many, you’re going to get a lightening round recap. So here it goes:

When celebrities are going to be at a free event basically in your backyard on a Thursday, you have to go! And that’s what I did! The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) sponsored this Likover Lecture to shed light on two areas: abortion and voting rights. So naturally, they tapped two celebrities who are very passionate about these topics: Ike Barinholtz and Busy Philipps!

I’ve been slacking on the fan art posts! And yes, I know today is Saturday, but I’m trying to make up for it! So here we go. Taking Back Sunday did back-to-back shows near me this week, and while I did not attend, I have seen them countless times before. They always rock so hard! So here is a drawing of the only member who has always been a part of the band, Adam Lazzara. I’d be remiss to say I never had a crush on the man – just look at him!
Read moreNetflix Movie Review: The Laundromat
Note: just because a film has three A-listers, does not mean it’s going to be good. Such is the case with the latest Netflix film, The Laundromat, which stars powerhouses, Gary Oldman, Antonio Banderas, and Meryl Streep. I’m not saying the performances were bad. Odd, but not bad. The script was the bad part.
Read moreTV Recap: Mr. Robot Season 4, Episode 3
Mr. Robot continues to deliver all the punches three episodes in. “Forbidden” opens with the tale of how Whiterose came to be. In the early 80s, he is seen mocking IBM consultants in his native Mandarin to his colleague Peng Chen. In the hotel room, it is revealed that Zhang and Chen are lovers. He hopes that Zhang becomes the Ambassador to the US so they can start living as their true selves: two men in love. This prompts Zhang to present her true self to him, dressed in a wig and her mother’s dress, to which Chen’s response is “you’re beautiful.”

Foals did what The 1975 claimed they were going to do, put out two records in one year. Where The 1975 failed, Foals succeeded! And Everything Not Saved Will Be Lost – Part 2 was by no means an afterthought, or a group of leftover songs. This record tells it’s own story while still keeping with a similar tone to Part 1.
