Since I know these aren’t the most popular shows (though they should be), I’m going to keep this relatively spoiler-free. Crazy Ex-Girlfriend & You’re The Worst. I often these two shows crop up in lists of TV with complicated women in them but ,oddly enough, I rarely see them discussed…
There are so many recent comic series I could have talked about: The Avant-Guards, Naomi, Goddess Mode, Nancy Drew, the new lines of Sandman, Die, and Blackbird all come to mind. But I’ll save a few of those for later. Some I want to let cook a bit longer with…
Wow, this is turning out to be sort of difficult to write about. Going in to watch Us, it’s inevitable to try compare it to the layering and metaphors found in Get Out, either immediately upon completing the film or even while watching. I am guilty of trying to break…
My Year of Banned Books book club met this month and we discussed Fun Home. I had read it before, seen Alison Bechdel speak, and attended a local college production of the musical. I love the book and I love the things that Bechdel has to say, both in person…

Normally the shorts are what I really get excited for when it comes to the Oscars. I’ve traveled into New York to see them and, as they’ve become more accessible, I’ve purchased them and had viewing parties, or even just shown personal top picks during Oscar night with friends. But…
Hello Chaotic Neutral! When we last checked in for the Superbowl, the Philadelphia Eagles beat the New England Patriots, I made chili, and a fun time party was had by all. Well the Patriots are back in the big game this year1, and I’m back to tell you all about…
Hey, the Super Bowl is coming this weekend! It’s a sports event and I know when it is! Now, for those There are two things I believe I am known for disliking on principal: cake and sports. Cake is a tangent that I’ll save for another day, but for sports…
