Beef Season 1 Review

July 8, 2023July 16, 2023admin

I felt like it took me way too long to check out Beef, Netflix’s newest critically acclaimed darling that actually earned all the “most streamed” buzz that other awful shows get on that platform. Then I was a tool and watched half of it like a month ago before finally committing myself to finishing it. I have no clue why I skirted it for so long. I had liked what I’d seen so far! TV is confusing sometimes, and so are my preferences at any given time.

Book Review: The Minds of Bill Milligan by Daniel Keyes

June 24, 2023June 24, 2023admin

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.

XO, Kitty – Season 1 Review

June 22, 2023June 22, 2023admin

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.

Book Review: Dumplin’ by Julie Murphy

May 3, 2023admin

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.

You Season 4 Review

April 6, 2023April 6, 2023admin

Well, well well. I was expecting a bit of the same old, same old here, but this season on You, the writers decided to switch a lot of things up! Not that I was tired of the old formula, but this new route was interesting from the jump.

Weekend Movie Review

Well, life got busy and I missed out on one of the international film nominees for this upcoming Academy Awards’ ceremony, but it was still a strong viewing this weekend!

29th SAG Awards

February 27, 2023February 27, 2023admin

We are now two weeks out from Hollywood’s biggest night, which means that the SAG awards were taking place, but for the first time since I’ve been religiously watching, the ceremony was live streamed on Netflix’s YouTube channel. Once the platform introduces its live component next year we will see the ceremony actually on Netflix, but this change was kind of cool!
