Fast and Furious 7
Yet another Fast and Furious movie has been watched. And I know in my heart we are rapidly approaching these movies becoming good again but damn, it is a painful road to get there. This is the last movie that Paul Walker was in and I have some massive issues with the way that they handled that but here we go with Fast 7…

Jennifer's Body
Let’s kick off pride month by discussing one of the gayest movies of all time, Jennifer’s Body. Now this was once a widely hated movie, it was shat on pretty universally. But since its release it has developed a cult following that truly understands it for what it is, satire. Diablo Cody wrote a brilliant and beautiful piece of campy satire and it is perfect. I have talked before about how the initial rejection of this movie was fully due to the marketing. First of all the movie was never marketed as a satire, and second of all it was marketed to men when the actual film was clearly made for the she’s and the gays.

Don't Go See The Flash
I will scream from the rooftops over and over to not go see The Flash. And most people in the DCEU bubble know why. But for those casual watchers that don’t see the problem with supporting the latest superhero movie here is exactly why you should not go see The Flash or support HBO and Ezra Miller.

Revisiting Nostalgia
For whatever reason The Parent Trap with Lindsey Lohan has made its circulation on TikTok. Not really sure why this gem of a movie has resurfaced but as it was one of my most watched movies in my childhood I thought I would throw my two cents in.

Fast and Furious 8
Okay Fast and Furious 8 did in fact answer some questions, and we are starting to see the overall quality increase. However there were still some glaringly obvious horrible choices in this one as well. That said it was the least offensive Fast and Furious movie thus far.

The Little Mermaid
Now I am someone who has constantly been disappointed by Disney’s live action remakes. Cinderella was magical, Beauty and the Beast was mediocre at best, the Lion King was simply terrible and here comes the Little Mermaid. My favorite Disney princess movie as a child. I used to make my family call me Ariel, I wouldn’t respond to my name. I was fully convinced that I was going to be a Mermaid when I grew up. The minute the trailer was released I started crying. I’ve been a blubbering mess at every trailer I’ve seen and I truly couldn’t wait for this movie.

Gilmore Girls
One of the most popular shows ever is irrefutably a character driven story, that said I think one of the best ways to study character driven stories is by studying their relationships. Now before we dive in I am going to point out now that I will also be giving my opinion on the things that happen in the show, some of the content did not age well and I will not pretend it did. Nothing is exempt from criticism and acting like the thing you like is beyond analysis is dense and useless so as an avid fan of the show I will be criticizing it and it's characters. Also since this show centers around the characters' relationships, I will be talking about each relationship as a whole as the season progresses which means we will keep bouncing back and forth throughout the season.

SUPERWhoLock
Well as we continue with our SuperWhoLock series we get 1 more season into Supernatural. Now at this point we are really still just getting into the show. It had found its sea legs by this point but we were still very much at the beginning and we are about to get into the first real storylines and character work that Supernatural had so far. So here we go with season 2.

SuperWHOLock
Now in the first article I wrote about this re-watch I showed a personal attachment to certain episodes, but this season is so much harder because the dynamic between Tennant and Piper and their chemistry is so so beautiful to watch that I simply love and adore every single episode of them together.

SuperWhoLock
We have got to talk about how these three shows actually interrelate. We have now discussed all of their first seasons individually but in order to discuss the internet fascination that is SuperWhoLock we must discuss what ties these shows together. I think we have 4 main threads that connect these seemingly different TV shows.

SuperWhoLOCK
The third piece of this SuperwhoLock puzzle is the 2010 BBC adaptation of Sherlock Holmes starring Benedict Cumberbatch and Martin Freeman. First of all I'd like to say how dare Netflix for not having this available to stream anymore and how dare the universe for not telling me that in order to do this rewatch I’d have to buy it…utter bullshit. Anyway as I rewatch Sherlock I have to both appreciate and curse the formatting, hour and a half episodes are great, only having three of them however sucks ass. Even if you broke that into normal episode length that only gives you between 5 and 6 episodes…god dammit BBC.
