Oh to be a teen and to be in love – such angst! While there are plenty of moments that made my face hurt with how much I was smiling in this second season of Heartstopper, there was plenty of drama to go along.

Weekend Movie Review
There is STILL next to nothing new worth watching in theaters at the moment, so I made my way through new fare at home.
Read moreKinnPorsche The Series La Forte – Season 1 Review
Alright, I know probably nothing of that name makes a lot of sense, and it didn’t make any sense to me either when the Youtube algorithm presented some fan made clip to me. Well, the contents of the clip and a quick Google search was all the convincing I needed to give the Thai crime drama, KinnPorsche The Series La Forte, a chance.
Read moreFrameline 47 – Film Festival
The 47th annual Frameline Film Festival was back this year during the midst of pride month, because that only makes sense for a queer-centered film festival. As with most of these film festivals that I’m attending virtually, the selection isn’t quite as robust as attending in person, but there were still some gems to be found.
Read moreBook Review: The Minds of Bill Milligan by Daniel Keyes
I don’t know that this non-fiction book by Daniel Keyes is something I would have ever read in the past were it not for an intriguing trailer for a new Tom Holland-led show on Apple+. But I am thankful to that trailer, because it led me to one of the most whacky true stories I have ever heard! The Minds of Billy Milligan captured me in a similar way to the fictionalized Chernobyl storytelling did.
Read moreXO, Kitty – Season 1 Review
How did I not know about this To All the Boys I Loved Before spin-off series, XO, Kitty, until two weeks before it dropped on Netflix?! A crime. But thankfully I did find out about it, and it has been one of the very, very few shows I have binged in under a day.
Read moreWolf Pack Season 1 Review
You know, I’m surprised it took me this long to watch a new werewolf themed show by the same man who brought me Teen Wolf, but here we are. Wolf Pack left me hesitant after the first episode, but halfway through its eight episode run, I was hooked. Jeff Davis has got the touch.
Read moreBook Review: The Song of Achilles by Madeline Miller
I first read Madeline Miller’s debut novel, The Song of Achilles, back in late 2019. I was immediately taken with it, but like most things I don’t usually revisit them so soon. A little while ago I found my gaze landing on my copy of the book more and more, but my trip to Greece last month finally convinced me I needed to read this epic romance again!

You know, just because you go to a foreign country, it does not mean you can’t watch movies. They’re on the plane! And the new ones are still there for you when you get home.
Read moreBook Review: Dumplin’ by Julie Murphy
I don’t know that I watched the film adaptation of this when it came out on Netflix back in 2018, but I did eventually watch Dumplin’. Then, so many odd years later I came across the book at a steep discount. Remembering the gist of the film and that I found it in the category of feel-good watch, I decided to pick the book up.
