Well, after last year I didn’t think it was possible to watch any more movies, but I surpassed my personal best by sitting through 277 films this year. Honestly, there were a lot more good ones than bad! I even got the chance to participate in a few high profile film festivals this year, which might just be the coolest thing ever! Here’s a list of what ruled, what sucked, and a little bit in between.

Fan Art Friday: The Last Shadow Puppets
At this point I feel like it should be no surprise that the final drawing I managed to crank out for 2021 is of The Last Shadow Puppets. Somehow this supergroup slipped under my radar until this year but I’m so glad I was able to find out about them – better late than never! So here’s my final drawing featuring lyrics from their songs “Pattern,” “Aviation,” and “Bad Habits.” Enjoy!
Read moreHawkeye Season 1
Haliee Steinfeld really cleaned up television last week! Aside from Marvel’s latest, Hawkeye, airing its season finale, her Apple+ series, Dickinson also aired its series finale. What fine shows these were, indeed!
Read moreThe Beaches – Late Show Album Review
Ever since catching this all girl rock band at the beginning of the month I’ve been listening to some singles by The Beaches on and off. I figured now was as good a time as any to give their full length effort, Late Show, a chance.
Read moreDickinson – Final Season Review
When I learned that the latest and third season of Apple+’s Dickinson was going to be its final season, I was devastated. Truly! This was a series I reluctantly clicked on back when it first aired, but was almost immediately sucked in. Creator Alena Smith managed to take the 1800s and make it both modern but extremely true to its roots. Plus, it was about the famed poet Emily Dickinson, so perhaps that’s why I got suckered into this enigmatic series.
Read moreBook Review: The Survivors by Jane Harper
The Dry was a book that changed my life, so it’s no surprise I immediately picked up Jane Harper’s latest novel, The Survivors, when I saw it on the shelf at my local library.
Read morePEN15 – Season 2, Part 2 (Final Season)
Back when the promise of a part two of PEN15 got announced, I never could have imagined that the eight episodes remaining would be last ones! That’s right, our time spent with these awkward 30-somethings playing their middle school selves is now officially over. Great television all around, though.
Read moreHoliday Weekend Movie Review
For some reason (COVID, really), all the good movies are being released within this very short one month window, so I’m trying my hardest to see as many as I can. I’ve been excited about some of these for quite some time, so it was a great week for me if I’m being honest. Check out what made the cut!
Read moreThe Premise – Anthology Series Review
I was just preparing myself to see Jon Bernthal at a local comic con when a trailer for BJ Novak’s The Premise came out. I saw Jon Bernthal pop his head in and that was all the convincing I needed. Not only that, but there were only five half hour episodes making up this anthology series, so I knew it wasn’t going to be a huge time commitment either. The results were bizarre, but the social commentary was like a blinding light, making me laugh quite a bit.
Read moreMiles Kane Colour of the Trap – Album Review
Obviously, as I make my way through my obsession of The Last Shadow Puppets, it’s only natural that I listen to one of the core member’s solo music. Thus, I am listening to Miles Kane’s first solo record, Colour of the Trap. Spelt that way because he’s British, but I’d probably let him get away with it even if he weren’t.
