The 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!

Arctic 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.

Book 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.

City 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.

Fan Art Friday: The Last Shadow Puppets

Look, I held off drawing this as long as I could. Not because I thought it was going to be too difficult, but because I really only drew The Last Shadow Puppets like a month ago. I don’t want to come off crazy. Also, I do have other things I could draw, but this band has been on constant repeat since I started listening to them a few months ago. Who am I kidding, it’s a full-blown obsession! And I treat my obsessions with fan art. It’s the highest form of flattery I can offer. So with that, here is another drawing of Miles Kane and Alex Turner of The Last Shadow Puppets. I assure you, this will not be the last drawing you see of this band…not by a long shot.

Weekly TV Dramas

Another week closer to everyone’s fall favorites, means another episode of my weekly summer dramas coming and going. Both were solid efforts this week, and sometimes I wish the weeks would go faster so I can get the next installment. I’m not really a binge-watcher by any means, but sometimes I want to watch a movie’s worth of television! Anyway, let’s get into it.

Weekend Movie Review

Well, turns out I was more busy last week than I had anticipated, so it looks like you guys are going to get stuck with another standard review from me. August has been turning out to be a pretty weak month of movies. Not necessarily by quality, but by quantity – and I want both! Regardless, here’s what made the cut this weekend.
