If you've ever been frustrated with customer service on the phone you will be able … Continue reading The Guilty

Only Murders In The Building
Finally the Father of the Bride reunion we've been waiting for, George Banks and Franc solving crimes, oh and with Selena Gomez. It's witty and funny and just suspenseful enough to make you want to keep watching. The premise is pretty realistic, a murder and three true-crime podcast enthusiasts decide to solve it while making … Continue reading Only Murders In The Building
Squid Game
Episodes: 9 A couple people told me I need to review this one so I gave it a whirl. If Willy Wonka and Jigsaw decided to team up and create their own Hunger Games, this would be it. There are games with sadistic twists, weird-looking henchmen, suspense, and riches beyond your wildest imagination. The only … Continue reading Squid Game
Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings
Zero expectations going in walked out in love. Between the plot, message, and script, this was an A+ movie. Marvel whips outs hit movies, it's known, but this one was especially nice because unless you read the comics you didn't know anything about this character. A solid Asian male lead is precisely what we need … Continue reading Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings
Free Guy
First of all, I love Ryan Reynolds, but he was upstaged by Jodie Comer. I knew going in it was about a game character that discovers he's in a video game. I didn't realize that it was going to unexpectedly be a rom-com! Typical Reynolds style, there's humor and snark at every corner but also … Continue reading Free Guy
White Lotus Season 1
Episodes: 6 So many actors, so much sepia, so much going on. You will watch episodes and then wonder what you're watching but it's only six episodes so just hang in there. It follows a guests and staff of a Hawaiian beach resort for a week. Like Lost with their violins, there is an excessive … Continue reading White Lotus Season 1
Music Box Series: Woodstock 99: Peace, Love, and Rage
If you have the time to sit down and get educated about concerts past, watch this. I knew of THE Woodstock but either forgot or didn't know about the fail that was the 1999 Woodstock. This was the original Fyre Fest in all honesty. There was lack of planning, lack of accommodations, and literal fire. … Continue reading Music Box Series: Woodstock 99: Peace, Love, and Rage
He’s All That
I'll keep this brief. It's not the original. I watched it cause I sincerely had nothing better to do. It does have Tanner Buchanan from Cobra Kai so I watched the whole thing. As Netflix's original teen movies go, it wasn't the worst but it was pretty lame. Bless Rachel Lee Cook for blessing us … Continue reading He’s All That
Enola Holmes
Okay, I finally sat down and finished Enola Holmes (the first time I meant to keep watching but was distracted, and hey it happens.) Love me Millie BB, I think she did a great job being the hero in her own story. There was just enough wit and charm to make up for the weak … Continue reading Enola Holmes
Clickbait
This show is a little bit all over the place. True to form as a crime limited series, there's suspense, a crime, and an obvious suspect. The whole show you are trying to figure out who to believe. It was entertaining but I wouldn't watch it again. Rating: 1/5
Mare of Easttown
Episodes: 7 Kate Winslet does it again. There's character development, there's a murder, and there's Evan Peters. This is one that you cannot miss. The premise is a flawed detective tried to solve the murder of her best friend's daughter. It's a slow burn at first but once you find out more clues, you'll be … Continue reading Mare of Easttown
15 Minutes of Shame
Did I hook you with the picture of Monica Lewinsky? Well, the show isn't about her (although she is a producer) it's about how culturally we outcast others. It follows victims of social outrage, has professors and scientists testifying on how society has changed, and even has a history lesson. It's worth a watch if … Continue reading 15 Minutes of Shame
