We all have had that one almost-friendship. You know what I’m talking about, it’s the time someone tried to be your friend but it just didn’t work out personality-wise. Enter Craig (Tim Robinson from I Think You Should Leave) who just wants to have a suburban bromance with Austin/Paul Rudd (who wouldn’t) when things don’t … Continue reading Friendship

Thunderbolts*
Finally a summer Marvel premiere worth going to see in theaters! After years of flops or straight to Disney+ movies this was a refreshing change and in my opinion a redeeming to the universe. Rejected and misunderstood antiheroes team up together to take down not just Elaine from Seinfeld (Julia Louis-Dreyfus) but Lewis Pullman/Bill Pullman’s … Continue reading Thunderbolts*

Apple Cinder Vinegar
Number of episodes: 6 Beating cancer. It’s something we want for others so badly that when someone appears to, you want to believe them. Why would anyone lie about that?
