I got to watch an eclectic mix of films over this long holiday weekend, with some new ones, old ones, and ones I wanted to revisit. Let’s jump into the cadre!

The Chats High Risk Behavior Album Review
Back several years ago, flipping through Sirius XM stations in my car, I stopped on Faction Punk to catch “Smoko” by Australian punk band, The Chats. Now, at first I thought it was a little rough, but I love an Aussie accent, and it ended up being catchy as hell! I never really looked much further into the band, but I played that song on the regular. Now, at least three years later, I’m finally giving their 2020 full-length debut, High Risk Behaviour, a listen!
Read moreBook Review: Midnight Sun by Trish Cook
Well, this might be a first. I was under the impression that the 2018 movie, Midnight Sun, was based off of a book given the fact that I’ve seen this book around since I saw the movie. Sometimes that happens where I don’t realize a film or show is based off of a book until after the fact. Never in my wildest dreams did I think I would be picking up a book that is based off of a film?! Also, please let me know if I’m wrong, but from what I can tell, the film version of this story is actually based off of a 2006 Japanese film called A Song to the Sun. Crazy!
Read moreFan Art Friday: Tom Payne
I know I was a fairweather fan of the now cancelled Prodigal Son, but I can’t deny that lead, Tom Payne, caught my eye. I had never heard of him prior to the show but I do know I’ll be looking out for his future roles! For now, enjoy this drawing.
Read moreThe Chair Season 1 Review
Sandra Oh is one busy lady! Somewhere in the middle of a pandemic I imagine she had to get in the headspace for the final season of Killing Eve, but then went ahead and filmed this short but awesome comedy-drama, The Chair. Even more fascinating about this show is that it was created by actress Amanda Peet! I truthfully had no clue she wrote or anything like that outside of acting. Really cool find on Netflix if you ask me!
Read moreArctic Monkeys – Favourite Worst Nightmare
Back at it! Now that I’ve thoroughly listened to Whatever People Say I Am, That’s What I’m Not, it’s time for me to move onto the Arctic Monkeys’ sophomore effort, Favourite Worst Nightmare. Although it’s a sophomore effort, there was certainly no slump here! In fact, it’s sort of mind-boggling that the band was able to release something so strong in just a little over a year after their debut record.

As usual, here is the weekly recap of the current dramas I’m watching. Enjoy!
Read moreMediocre Movie Weekend
This time I don’t mean that the quantity was mediocre, but the quality sure was! A lot of stinkers, and then I finally threw in a couple tried and true films to turn it around a little bit.
Read moreBook Review: Turtles All the Way Down by John Green
It’s been quite some time since I’ve sat down and read a John Green novel, but my curiosity finally won out and I borrowed Turtles All the Way Down from my aunt. When I first read a blurb about this book, it sounded intriguing but not necessarily something I was interested in reading at the time. I truthfully can’t tell you what’s changed in the four-ish years to suddenly make me want to read this, but I did, and I’m glad for it.
Read moreCity on a Hill – Season 1
Admittedly, I’m not getting through Showtime’s catalog all that quickly given how little time I have left with the service, but still. At my dad’s recommendation, I decided to give the crime drama City on a Hill a chance. He and I usually have a similar taste in shows, and while he liked this series, he said it wasn’t great. That should have been my first clue.
