Unreliable
Alright, let me tell you a story, and I swear on my grandma’s cat’s life that every word of this is true… mostly. It all started one Wednesday morning. Or was it Thursday? Doesn’t matter. The important part is, I woke up in my apartment—my very well-organized, totally not messy apartment—and I was ready to conquer the day. Now, some people might say I overslept until noon and had cereal for lunch. But those people don’t understand my commitment to brunch. Also, who are they to judge what’s an appropriate meal? The milk was still good, and the cereal had a healthy number of marshmallows.

Villainess Review: Dee Baxter (The Wayans Bros.)
Who remembers The WB? The original WB Network? Hard to believe that it's been almost 30 years since that network launched, and would go on to become this big thing--keeping up with what was now the Big Four networks (CBS, NBC, ABC, and Fox). The whole thing started in early 1995, and it ended up leading to the launch of Kids' WB that fall (that's another story). The network had their trademark shows, and among their earliest hits was The Wayans Bros., the memorable sitcom that officially put Shawn and Marlon Wayans on the spotlight.

There’s No Fresh Ones in the Back
First off, let me start by saying that if you’re not a Nico Santos fan I don’t understand you. Stop what you’re doing (after reading this article of course) and go watch ‘Crazy Rich Asians’ (available on Netflix*) and ‘Superstore’ (available on Peacock). Then come back and tell me how amazing you think he is. Truth be told, I could be a little biased, but he’s still hilarious and a pure pleasure to watch.
