Reviewing Every Villainess from Season One of "Just Beyond"
R.L. Stine, you've done it again! The family-friendly horror icon who gave us Goosebumps, Fear Street, The Nightmare Room, and The Haunting Hour now gives us Just Beyond, yet another series of books that has been adapted for the small screen! I remember seeing promos for this and as soon as I saw R.L. Stine's name, I said, "Sign me up!"--Stine creates nothing but gold. On October 13, 2021, the entire first season of Just Beyond hit Disney+, and I finally watched the entire eight episode season last weekend. To no surprise, I loved every episode, as well as all of the twists and turns, and have my fingers crossed that we get a second season.

Villainess Review: Vivian Tyrell (Vampires vs. The Bronx)
I was quickly drawn to Vampires vs. The Bronx when this hit Netflix in October of 2020. You could say that I was sold, and "sold" was the operative word in this film, as a lot of properties in The Bronx were being sold to a real estate group known as Murnau Properties. Among them was a nail salon owned by Becky Perez, who was shown discussing the sale with her last customer, Vivian Tyrell. The deal is made after Vivian leaves, as broker Frank Polidori finalized the sale, but suddenly, Becky is attacked and killed by a vampire! Boy, they weren't lying when they say that realtors are bloodsuckers.

World Series Game Three: Historic Proportions
The city of Atlanta has not had a great sports history. It was in 1966 that the Braves moved for the second and most recent time, relocating from Milwaukee to Atlanta, and it was that same year that the Atlanta Falcons were established. Two years later, Atlanta received the NBA's Hawks, who had previously played in St. Louis for 13 seasons and won a championship in 1958. In 1972, Atlanta joined the NHL with the establishment of the Flames, but after eight disappointing seasons, six playoff appearances, and only two playoff games won, the team relocated to Calgary in 1980, and went on to win the Stanley Cup in 1989. They tried again with the Atlanta Thrashers in 1999, but lasted 11 seasons and only made the playoffs once before moving to Winnipeg and becoming the second Jets team.

World Series Game Two: Astros' Pitching Leads the Way
Game One of the World Series was dominated by the Atlanta Braves' pitching, as well as timely home runs by Jorge Soler and Adam Duvall. For the Houston Astros, they needed to strike back in order to salvage something in the first two games in their park. Game Two started off on the right foot for the Astros; an Alex Bregman sac fly in the first inning to put the Astros up 1-0. The top half of the second inning saw Travis d'Arnaud tie it up with a solo shot; the Braves' third HR of the Series, but after that, the Astros exploded with four runs in their half of the second inning, resulting in a 5-1 lead for the Astros after two innings.

Reviewing Toxic Attraction's Big Night at Halloween Havoc
When Mandy Rose formed the evil faction currently known as Toxic Attraction, I and many fans knew that it would be a matter of time before all three women would be elevated, and elevated quickly. For Mandy, her return to NXT was a breath of fresh air; her split from Sonya Deville resulted in Mandy winning their feud, but after that, nothing much happened for her. Mandy was sent back to NXT this past summer; making her return by watching Gigi Dolin and Jacy Jayne's matches, before finally forming an alliance. After her loss to Sarray, Mandy led her new allies in attacking not only Sarray, but Kacy Catanzaro and Kayden Carter, officially establishing them as a villainous alliance that was not to be messed with.

World Series Game One: 25 Years in the Making
There is always something about the first game of the World Series. Actually, there's always something about the first game of the World Series, NBA Finals, and the Stanley Cup Final. It's that aura; the feel that this is a definitive and epic end of the season. In the case of the World Series, it's the American League's best versus the National League's best in a battle for all of the marbles. This is the 117th World Series in baseball's modern era, with only 1904 and 1994 not seeing the Fall Classic occur. This year, it's the first-ever Fall Classic meeting between the Houston Astros and the Atlanta Braves.

Two Familicidal Villainesses, Two Countries, Same Motive
I've been a true crime enthusiast for over 20 years, and while I've heard and learned about so many different cases, there is one constant: I haven't heard them all. This fact was proven about a few years back, when I learned about not one, but two similar cases: each involving a divorced woman who suddenly murders her young offspring in a fit of deranged jealousy. Not only are the motive and crime similar, but these crimes were committed in the same year, just two months apart--with one of the few differences being the country of origin.

NFL Week 7 Recap: A Hot Mess
So far, each week of the 2021 NFL season has had a theme, and regarding Week 7, the theme can be summed up in one three-letter word: meh. An argument can be made that football fans were due for such a week this season. After all, the first six weeks have seen games with captivating drama, as well as a lot of overtime. Week 7? Not so much.

CFL Week 12 Recap: Best in the West
Week 11 saw the first official playoff scenario, and it was fulfilled. The Winnipeg Blue Bombers became the first team to lock in a playoff spot with their 26-16 win over the Edmonton Elks. Entering Week 12, the Bombers had another goal: 1st place in the West Division. All they needed was a victory to achieve that goal. There were other scenarios that would get the Bombers a home playoff game at least: even if they lose, a loss from the Saskatchewan Roughriders would get it, or a loss by less than 21 points coupled with a Calgary Stampeders loss would get them a home playoff game.

What Went Wrong: Dodgers Dethroned
Even though the 2020 season was cut down to just 60 games in two months, it was quite a dream season for the Los Angeles Dodgers. In this current era, the Dodgers entered that year facing the possibility that they could be one of the biggest failures in all of sports. Despite the immense amount of money spent building the team, they kept coming up short. In 2016, the Dodgers were the team who lost the pennant to the Chicago Cubs--who hadn't won a pennant since World War II ended. 2017 and 2018 saw them in the World Series, but they lost both years. 2019 was an embarrassing season--a franchise record 106 wins, yet they suffer a Division Series loss to the Washington Nationals.

What Went Wrong: Red Sox Bats Get Cold at Wrong Time. Top Story - October 2021.
Three years ago, the Boston Red Sox won the World Series--their fourth since 2004. What followed was two seasons of disappointment, dismay, and the proverbial axe falling on certain people. Their 2019 season was immensely disastrous, as they went 84-78--24 games worse than their 2018 championship season--and missed the postseason. Pitching was the main problem, though if you asked then-GM Dave Dombrowski, the pitching was just fine. That statement was why I used the word "then-GM." Dombrowski was fired in September of 2019, less than a full season after delivering a championship to Boston. It was that bad.

Villainess Review: Morgan Smith (For Love or Murder)
I had known about this movie, For Love or Murder, a month or so prior when it was originally titled, Murder & Matrimony, and was featured among Marvista's collection of upcoming Lifetime films. I was elated to finally see this film, which began with a tragedy befalling the film's main protagonist, Angie Porter: the sudden deaths of her parents. It was at the funeral that she reunited with her older brother, Michael Porter, as they had been estranged since Michael's teenage years, as he had a falling out with their parents.
