Since the Emmys are right around the corner (one week!), I figured I could squeeze in this five-part miniseries, Halston, about fashion designer, Halston, who’s star Ewan McGregor is nominated for the role. I love seeing Ewan on TV, but unlike his time on Fargo, this series seemed to drag quite a bit, despite its short episode order.

Since I will be catching Motionless in White this weekend at Inkcarceration Music Festival, here are some drawings from the last Warped Tour my sister and I saw them at. We even got them signed!
Read moreBook Review: Will Grayson Will Grayson by John Green and David Levithan
Well, after coming off of the excellence that was Turtles All the Way Down, I’ve got to say that the collaborative effort on Will Grayson, Will Grayson was a bit of a letdown. Written in alternating chapters by authors John Green and David Levithan, they both write about the lives of two very different Will Graysons. At some point, their worlds converge and comingle a little bit and the results are interesting.

This week a lot went wrong and some stuff went right in my weekly dramatic viewings.

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!
Read moreThe 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.
