Emmys 2020: Winners, Losers, and Everything in Between
Last night saw the first major awards show since the pandemic began, and I was excited to get it in whatever format they could manage. Thus, I watched an (almost) totally virtual Emmy Awards, or as I’ve seen it so cleverly referenced, the “Pandemmys.” The show opened with host Jimmy Kimmel seemingly talking to a full house of actors and guest alike. I’m not going to lie, this fooled me for the first minute. I thought to myself, “well, maybe they worked something out and had everyone quarantine for two weeks,” even though I’d heard nothing of the sort mentioned in the last several months since the virtual show was announced. Then I noticed people in the crowd who weren’t nominated, or actors from shows who were no longer on the air. Then we saw Jimmy Kimmel himself in the crowd.

So much happens in these hour-long episodes that I fear some day I’m going to miss something huge. I guess in order to combat that I over-explain a little bit, so sue me! Either way, this is a review of the fifth episode of The Boys, and spoilers may be below. You’ve been warned!
Read moreMythic Quest: Raven’s Banquet Review
While I was watching the very serious drama, The Morning Show, I decided that I also wanted to pepper in some comedy. I did that in the form of Apple +’s Mythic Quest: Raven’s Banquet. Created by Rob McElhenney and Charlie Day of It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia, I knew I was going to watch it regardless of what it was about. It also didn’t hurt that when the show premiered at the start of the year it received universal rave reviews. That usually sells me on a show pretty quickly.
Read more2020 Emmy Awards: Predictions
Awards season is back with the Primetime Emmy Awards this coming Sunday, and even though it won’t look like it normally does, my heart is still so happy that it’s taking place! Lots of great shows are getting love, but I believe there are a small handful that are going to sweep all the categories they show up in. Who knows?! Maybe I will get proven wrong. We shall see. While we wait, below are my predictions of who will win and maybe who should win (if I disagree). Let’s roll!
Read moreThe Morning Show Review
Alright, I have finally caved and subscribed to Apple+ in order to watch the last series I wanted to get to before the Emmys air this Sunday, The Morning Show. Look, when this show first got announced, I dug into my hipster way and refused to watch because of some of the cast. Yes, I am a big fan of Billy Crudup and Mark Duplass, but Jennifer Aniston and Resse Witherspoon are just slightly overrated in my opinion and that was enough to turn me off initially. That coupled with all the hype around the show also turned me off. Sometimes excitement about a show gets me excited about it, but sometimes it has the opposite effect on me. Go figure. Regardless of how I felt then, though, I really, really enjoyed The Morning Show and I’m glad I finally gave it a viewing!

Well, just like most other events in the world, this year’s first and only Shadowhunters convention got pushed until next year. In an effort to please the fans though, Jalmics, the organizer of the event, roped together an At Home convention for this past weekend! I will say, despite the event not taking place in person, this experience was pretty sweet! As an avid fan of the show, I was particularly pumped about it.

Alright, just starting this off by saying there will be SPOILERS about the fourth episode of The Boys‘ second season. There. You’ve been warned. I also wanted to let you all know that you technically don’t have to wait until Friday to watch the new episodes! Both this week and last, these gems were available on Thursday night, and not at midnight – several hours beforehand! So be impatient like me and get the up and up on everyone else.

The Boys are back and I am so excited to get back into the lives of these degenerates! Luckily, I had a much shorter wait than most of the fans who watched the first season when it was initially released, but that doesn’t mean I was any less anxious for new content! And even though the first three episodes are all that’s at our disposal, it was plenty to keep our minds occupied until this coming Friday.

The beat goes on with my attempt to watch more of the Emmy nominees before the actual Emmy Awards ceremony airs on September 20th. So with that, I landed on FX for Hulu’s nine part miniseries, Mrs. America. Talk about a star-studded affair! Even the small parts were played by well-known actors!
