Villainess Review: Andrea Rivers & Lily Andrews (Diagnosis Murder)
Diagnosis Murder is quite an amazing show which has featured its share of twisted female baddies, with Clare Brantigan being among them. Even the holiday-themed episodes have featured some diabolical villainesses, and this review will cover not one, but two examples.

Villainess Review: Holiday Telefilm "Grinches"
A thought I've had for a few weeks now: The Grinch needs to be gender-flipped. We are almost in 2022, yet nobody has even thought of gender-flipping the iconic Grinch. That surprises me. Don't get me wrong; I enjoy the Grinch adaptations as they are, but a female Grinch would be epic. Since we have yet to see an actress take on the Dr. Seuss creation, I'll just discuss some female Grinch-types who have taken center stage in a few telefilms. That sounds like a fair compromise. As I've said before, even the holiday films aren't safe from villainesses, and here are three amazing examples.

One Down, 13 To Go (Week 16)
I love Week 16, and it's mainly because it occurs during Christmas time. Until this season, the Christmas and New Year's weeks served as the final two weeks of the NFL season, but now we have the additional week, so the holidays serve as a festive lead in to the final climax. Though Week 16 is now the antepenultimate week of the season, it's still pivotal to teams jockeying for playoff position. In the case of this season, it's extra pivotal. Only one team is officially in the playoffs entering Week 16, leaving a whopping 13 spots up for grabs in the final three weeks. Seven of the spots could be filled this week, and five division titles could be wrapped up. Without further ado, the playoff picture.

Week 15 Recap: A Division Clinched & Tuesday Night Football
Week 15 featured quite a few shakeups to the schedule, mainly caused by the horrendous wave of players testing positive for COVID-19, with the report that some of the positives are from the Omicron variant. The Los Angeles Rams and Cleveland Browns were among several teams that were hit the hardest, and that led to the NFL juggling the Week 15 schedule. Schedule shifts like this were nearly a regular thing in the 2020 season due to positive tests, and that year, it resulted in Monday Night doubleheaders, some games on Tuesdays, and even a Wednesday game. Until Week 15, those moves had been avoided, and time will tell if any of the following three weeks will be impacted as well.

Villainess Review: Bethany Robertson (Christmas Catch)
I do love the holiday season for many reasons. Family, festivities, awesome gifts, TV specials, special sports games, you name it. We also get our share of holiday movies as well; even Lifetime gets into the holiday spirit with over a month's worth of sweet-natured holiday films. Now, Lifetime's holiday films rarely have anything resembling villains, and regarding female baddies, they're even fewer and far in between. I have learned in recent years that the holiday films that open the door for a semblance of "good vs evil" are usually found in other networks, with one recent example being Tubi's original film, Most Wanted Santa. Another example is the subject of this story, Christmas Catch, which aired on UpTV.

A Look at the Semifinalists of AEW's TBS Championship Tournament
On October 6, 2021, it was announced that All Elite Wrestling's flagship series, Dynamite, would move from TNT to TBS, doing so to make way for TNT's NHL coverage. AEW already began the process by airing on Saturdays for the first few weeks; allowing TNT to begin their NHL relationship with doubleheaders on Wednesdays. Afterwards, Dynamite returned to Wednesdays, airing live coast-to-coast for the rest of the year, followed by a single Wednesday Night Hockey game at 10PM EST/7PM PST.

Villainess Review: Marie Simmons (Friday the 13th: The Series)
I was about six or seven years old when I learned about Friday the 13th: The Series, which was alternately titled, Friday's Curse. I actually saw a small snippet as a kid, as the only Friday the 13th I knew was the series of films that centered on Jason Voorhees, but I saw no hockey masked maniac on the show. It wasn't until my teenage years that I learned the whole plot of this series, which aired for three seasons from 1987 until 1990. The show, which was filmed in Canada, centered on distant cousins Michelle "Micki" Foster and Ryan Dallion, who inherited Vendredi Antiques, which was owned by their uncle, Lewis Vendredi.

So Many Clinching Scenarios, So Little Time (Week 15)
For only the third time since the NFL went to a 16-game schedule in 1978 (it's 17 games now), Week 14 ended with no playoff spots clinched. So with four weeks remaining, all fourteen slots in this year's NFL Playoffs are all open, though after Week 15, seven of them (an even 50%) could be filled. Before we get to the scenarios, here's the playoff picture.

Week 14 Recap: Death, Taxes, and Aaron Rodgers Owning the Bears
In a world where uncertainties are increasing by the bulk, it is refreshing that one thing remains true and constant: Aaron Rodgers owns the Chicago Bears. Week 14's Sunday Night Football matchup featured the Green Bay Packers hosting the Bears--the first meeting since Rodgers stated the obvious to Bears fans back in October. It was a bit of a shaky start for the Packers; special teams was a total mess for the Green and Gold, though Rodgers delivered two first half TDs, and Rasul Douglas picked up another Pick 6 interception (his second in as many games).

108th Grey Cup Recap: Dirty Dozen
When the Winnipeg Blue Bombers won the 107th Grey Cup in 2019, it was an emotional win. It was the Bombers' first Grey Cup Championship since 1990--at the time, the longest drought in Canadian Football League history. The 108th Grey Cup saw the same ending: the Blue Bombers emerging as Grey Cup Champions. Like the last one, it was emotional, but for a different reason: because they had to wait just over two years to defend their championship, and they were successful.

Villainess Review: Kristen Cargill (Dangerous Snow Day)
I was very excited for this Lifetime film, Dangerous Snow Day; the reason is obvious, but I will get to it. This film centered on Maggie Ford, who worked as a nanny for the wealthy Cargill family. We see geniality from couple Kristen and Frederick Cargill, with the latter giving Maggie a necklace as a gift. At that moment, Maggie announced that she would be leaving as their nanny, as she was focusing on her education, drawing what seemed like panic from the Cargills, mainly Frederick. Kristen voiced her own assurance that she could care for the kids, only for Frederick to shoot that down quickly. All right, then.

A Look Back: Eddie Guerrero and Rey Mysterio's 2005 Feud
Until recently, the wrestling related stories I've written here on Vocal solely centered on women's wrestling. Originally, this story was going to be the one that broke my trend, and I'll explain why it wasn't later on. I'll just open with this: one of the best feuds I watched in the last near 20 years was the 2005 angle involving Eddie Guerrero and Rey Mysterio. I've watched every bit of this feud so many times; so much that I can pretty much describe it all, bit by bit. 2005 was a wild year in WWE, without question. I remember that WWE filled a void for me that was left by the absence of the NHL, as a lockout canceled the entire 2004-05 season, so stories like this ended up making up for that missing piece. Without further ado, the players.
