Now that Halloween has been over for several weeks, it’s been easier for me to get my hands on some spooky novels! Also, ever since reading and watching the biographical but largely fictional, Shirley, I’ve found myself more interested in reading her works. I figured what better way to start than with her very popular, The Haunting of Hill House. Selfishly, I also chose to read this because I want to watch the series, but I have been too afraid to do so. I figure if I give it a read first it might calm my nerves about eventually watching it.
Read moreKidding Season 2
Unfortunately, the second season of Showtime’s Kidding is its last and I am bummed because the second season was a very entertaining ride. Luckily, that first season cliffhanger is right where the action picks up in the second, and we get to see this group of people seemingly further upend their lives.
Read moreTwo New Movies with Two Very Different Reactions
I think that title tells you what you’re about to read here, and unless you’ve been living under a rock, my reaction will not be all too different from the critics who have already seen these films. The other day, Netflix released Hillbilly Elegy, which was adapted from the memoir of the same name by J.D. Vance. The very next day, Hulu released the holiday romantic comedy, Happiest Season. Based on that very limited information, I’m sure your assumptions of what was good and what was bad is actually wrong!
Read moreMovie Marathon
Some new, some old, some new to me…a cornucopia of films this weekend! I’d say I’ve primed myself nicely for this holiday weekend’s viewing standards.
Read moreFargo Season 4, Episode 10
It’s the penultimate episode of this fourth installment of Fargo, and I’m really excited to see how it all plays out. After a cool and creative deviation last week, this week reverts back to the storylines we’re used to and plays out a string of events so delicious I might as well have been salivating while watching the episode.
Read moreKidding Season 1
What a strange, strange comedy Kidding was. This two-season show starring Jim Carrey had me confused from start to finish. I recognize it was more of a dark comedy, but even the premise had me feeling sort of out of body. It probably also didn’t help that it took place in Ohio. Strange.
Read moreFan Art Friday: Motionless in White
I love this drawing because it’s part self-portrait, part contest submission. Motionless in White had an album cover contest for Graveyard Shift and I knew I had to enter! Although I didn’t win, I was still really proud with how the final product turned out.
Read moreConcert Throwback: Red Hot Chili Peppers
A concert of epic proportions! Also, I was supposed to see the Red Hot Chili Peppers for a third time back in May until the rona took away all the nice things! I digress, as I can look back at those other two times fondly and share what the experience was like.
Read moreServant Season 1
It’s official, Apple+ has the strangest catalog of shows out there, and Servant basically made that decision for me. I recall back when the streaming service launched, this was one of the first shows it premiered. The fact that it was produced by M Night Shyamalan was supposed to be the big seller here, and I guess it was because that’s ultimately why I watched it. That, and it was shrouded in mystery! If someone had asked me what I thought the show was about all I could was “a baby.”
Read moreSoulmates Season 1 Review
After my severe love of Ted Lasso, I learned that one of the stars and writers, Brett Goldstein, had another show premiering on AMC and I was pretty much all in! Add to the fact that Soulmates touted stars such as Sarah Snook and Bill Skarsgaard as part of its cast and I was even more sold. That it was also an anthology made it even more intriguing.
