Two of my favorite bands released new music the past couple weeks and I’m here for it! Neither Bastille nor Foster the People have put out a full length record for quite a few years, so I’m at least thankful to the pandemic for getting me some new tunes from them!

Mid-Week Movie Review: Awards Season Contenders
As I mentioned with my last movie review, I recently became a member of Film Independent, which features a lot of independent films. Those are usually the Oscars’ favorites, and they’re mine, too! It’s sort of crazy the amount of content that’s available for Film Independent members, and you’ll definitely catch me taking advantage of it. That being said, most of these films are available to me before they are to the general public, so I’ll keep these reviews as spoiler free as I can!

There were some brand new films this week, some insufferable ones, and even some from HBO Max this weekend! Let’s dive in!
Read moreCobra Kai Season 2 Review
I stretched the second season of Cobra Kai out a little bit compared to the first, but it was no less exciting or awesome! The second season essentially picks up right were the first season left off, with Kresse showing up at Johnny’s Cobra Kai dojo and Sam joining Miyagi-Do. Where this season ends is really crazy, so I’m glad I don’t have much of a wait for the third season to premiere on Netflix!
Read moreBook Review: There’s Someone Inside Your House by Stephanie Perkins
Ever since I heard that Stephanie Perkins’ novel, There’s Someone Inside Your House, was getting adapted into a film at Netflix, I’ve been itching to get my hands on it. Despite it being a young adult novel, the premise (and the title, come on) sounded perfectly creepy and right up my alley! And it was! This delivered both the spooks and the gore and I hope they really commit in the adaptation.
Read moreFan Art Friday: Hannibal
I’m sure you are all feeling a sense of deja vu with Hannibal being called out as the fan art this week, but I have a good reason to keep drawing stuff for this amazing show! It’s because the fandom is equally amazing! Twitter is where I’ve found most of them, and they post about Hannibal daily. Also, they are very kind. For the month of December there has been a gift exchange occurring between all of the “fannibals.” I’ve received some cool stuff, the coolest of which was an authenticated prop from the show (my sister can vouch for the intense squeal that left my body)! In what I’ve sent out, I included a little mini-drawing in each, so that’s what you’re seeing below.
Read moreBig Sky – Winter Finale Review
Only five episodes in and we’ve already reached rookie show, Big Sky‘s winter finale. That’s right, we’ve got to wait a whole agonizing month (my sister’s words, not mine) to figure out what the heck is going to come after that insane cliffhanger! More on that in just a bit.
Read moreThe Used – Heartwork Album Review
Th Used’s latest release, Heartwork, was an immense improvement from the train wreck that was The 1975’s latest record, so that’s a great place to be. It also is sort of a return to form for the band after the more experimental turn they took on The Canyon. Not that I disliked that album at all, but it’s a nice dose of nostalgia when a band from your formative years of music go back to the old style.
Read moreWeekend Movie Review
As a new Film Independent member, I get the scoop on movies now! Independent ones anyways, but those are my favorite kind! So you’ll see one of those, a documentary (unheard of!), and some other oddball new and old releases. This is also probably the last of the Christmas movies you’ll see me reviewing, so enjoy it while you can. Ha!
Read moreBook Review: The Mysteries of Pittsburgh by Michael Chabon
I consider myself someone who is well-versed in the career of Peter Sarsgaard, but there are plenty of his films that I have not seen. One of those is The Mysteries of Pittsburgh, which was an adaptation of Michael Chabon’s 1988 novel of the same name. Although, after seeing the abysmal Rotten Tomatoes score and learning that a few of the character’s weight of importance was changed quite a bit, it seemed like something I wanted to skip. So far, I have, but the story itself seemed rather enticing, so I decided to read it!
