In Between
A little funny from SNL It’s 2026. This is the time of year when everyone talks goals and has that fiery exuberance of being unstoppable. And while I, too, have certain intentions set for the new year, I wanted to chat about the ‘in-between’ days of December 26 – December 31, which I declare my…

Take ’em to Court
The OG hosted by Judge Joseph A. Wapner (1919-2017): RIP When I was growing up, I took great satisfaction in watching The People’s Court, which aired from 1981-1993 and was led by Judge Wapner. It was my introduction to law and advocacy and it just brought some solid entertainment. From the distinctive theme song, Judge…

Wayward
11/10 Dear readers! Once again, I assure you: I do more than watch TV. However, I devoured the newly released Wayward on Netflix. Believe the hype: this limited series, starring its creator Mae Martin will not disappoint. It combines a teen version of Survivor, mixed with Yellowjackets and One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest vibes.…

Simpler Times
Thanks to my sister for providing the inspiration behind this post. My adolescence thrived in the 80s, which I declare as simpler times. When the height of personal annoyance was using a #2 pencil to recoil a cassette stuck in a tape deck after hours of singing and dancing like nobody was watching. There were…

Freakier Friday
My favorite movie of the year is here. Is anyone else freaked out that it’s been more than 20 years since Freaky Friday (featuring Jamie Lee Curtis and Lindsay Lohan) came out? I am. But the recently released Freakier Friday brings this dynamic duo back together and is my favorite film of 2025 (placing Mission:…

Crazy Cat
Leaving the scene of a potential cat crime. I’ve always hated cats. Something about those mischievous buttholes has always sparked fear in me. Every scary movie seems to have a black cat lurking and waiting to insight harm. And that is why I have never owned one. I’m a proud dog mama. I grew up…

MJW
One of my favorite Theo Huxtable scenes on The Cosby Show I’m checking my phone on Monday and learning of the tragic passing of Malcolm-Jamal Warner. This one stings deep for me, as The Cosby Show and MJW were staples throughout my formative years in the 80s. Growing up Hispanic in a mostly white neighborhood…

Vacate
Me and the woman I love most. I am on week three of my annual long vacation. I don’t say this to brag. I’m here to reflect with some gratitude and humor. Stay with me. For the past few years, I take leave in July, as a reset. I’ve been working since I was 14,…

You & Others
I start this off with a long overdue review of the final season of You. While I would normally post an image, I’ve been struggling to find one that isn’t copyrighted. So, this starts image-less. Something about Penn Badgley as Joe Goldberg is haunting and charming at the same time. I guess that is why…
