You know, this is the second show in a short amount of time that really impressed me because of how well they represented a good friendship. And a male friendship at that! In the first, and hopefully not last, season of Everyone is Doing Great, we see to men in their late twenties really just learning to grow up. This show came as a recommendation that I was a little hesitant to watch but found that I really, really enjoyed it!

Book Review: The Swap by Robyn Harding
I don’t want to come out of the gate and say that this book was misleading, because really it wasn’t. It’s just that the blurb provided seemed to exclude a very key character that helped drive a lot of the plot of this thriller. Regardless, The Swap by Robyn Harding was at times wonderful and at other times a bit cheesy, but overall, it was a fun read that could perhaps be saved for your time on the beach.
Read moreMovies in Review
I think it will be hard to beat the amount of movies that I did in January (thank you, Sundance), but that does not mean what I’m watching isn’t of quality and that’s all that really matters. While a good chunk of these are new, I did swing back to one of my favorites from 2020. I also managed to get the last best picture nominee in over the weekend! Let’s take a look, shall we?
Read moreGrammy Awards
Look, of all the awards shows in existence, this one has become increasingly disappointing over the years. And I’m sure I’ve complained about it before, but there is no love for actual rock! More on that later. Anyway, after an almost entirely virtual Golden Globes, which I personally didn’t mind, but tanked with other viewers, the Grammys decided to have a more in person and outdoors ceremony which was actually pretty cool! Let’s get into it!
Read moreConcert Review: Bad Suns
Another month in quarantine, another concert from my living room. That’s right, a whole year has passed and there is still no sign of live music on the horizon. So in the meantime, I am trying my best to support artists I like and get some version of “live” music via livestream concerts. I will say, I was very excited when after several months, Bad Suns announced they would be playing their sophomore effort, Disappear Here in its entirety!
Read more9-1-1 Lone Star: Winter Finale
I realize it is technically still winter, but we’re already a couple of weeks into March! Blame COVID, I suppose. Anyways, I know I missed out on the last several 9-1-1 Lone Star reviews, so I figured I should get you up to speed!
Read moreWandaVision Series Review
Well, well, well. After a whole year absent of anything Marvel, the fourth phase officially kicked off with their first ever television series, WandaVision! And the stars of this series? Wanda and the very much dead Vision…or so we think? I would suspect that it comes as no surprise to audiences that Vision is in fact still dead, and that this is just Wanda’s way of coping with her grief. But she does so in a very interesting…and morally questionable way.
Read moreBook Review: Girl A by Abigail Dean
For a debut novel, Abigail Dean sure packs an impressive punch with Girl A! This book is equal parts devastating and thrilling, and she alludes to just enough that at least my morbid curiosity was sated. This story is something that could have very easily been ripped from the headlines and might scarily be someone’s future, but for now it is just fiction (and good fiction at that!).
Read moreFan Art Friday: AFI
If you’ve been paying attention, I’ve practically been begging you to listen to the four new singles AFI have released in the past couple months. This is the first new music from the band in about four years so it’s freaking exciting! Even more exciting? They’re also putting out an album on June 11th entitled Bodies, and I for one cannot wait. In the meantime, check out this extremely throwback drawing of the band from their Decemberunderground days!
Read moreAlbum Review: girlfriends
It seems I had missed the boat on the 2020 release, but I’m all caught up now, and fellow emos and punks of the early 2000s listen up because girlfriends is a band you need to listen to! In fact, it should be mandatory listening! If this is the start of the new wave of emo and punk bands then I’m all for it.
