My Review of "A Million Miles Away"
A Million Miles Away is an exclusive biopic on Amazon Prime. I am a bit of a sucker for inspirational biopic movies. When I first saw the trailer for this movie I thought it was going to be a homerun so I had to check it out the first chance I could. I'm so happy that I did because this movie is one of the better biopics out there.

Halloween Vibes Starring Vincent Price . Top Story - October 2023.
Millennials might know him as the old guy who recited the spooky spoken word sequence at the end of Michael Jackson’s 1984 mega hit, Thriller. Here's a video of Price reciting the piece live on The Joan Rivers Show.

My Review of "Elemental"
Elemental is Pixar's summer movie of 2023. It didn't do the greatest and I was wondering why. Usually Pixar has a great track record and even when their movies aren't that great there's some redeeming quality about them. With Disney's push to streaming on their new Disney plus platform I can kind of see why families are opting to wait for their movies to stream at home.

A 90s Baby's TV Schedule: Revisited
Lets set the scene. It's 1998. It's the height of 90s-ness in Britain - the lads and ladettes are having it large, Richard Ashcroft is barging into people impassively on the high street willy-nilly, bottled water is all the drink you need at the rave you've heard is happening in someone's lower field in one of the Shires, you're either Team Oasis or Spice Girls (Viva Forever) and 'Football's Coming Home' has been on a loop in your head for at least 6 months. Your shoe wear of choice is either a jelly shoe or a buffalo boot and at least every other top you wear has contains at least a strip of Phosphorescence.

The Meg 2
I vaguely remember seeing The Meg at a drive in theater during shark week. And though I personally am very confused by the fascination with shark movies I think The Meg is a delightful kind of bad. So when I found out that The Meg was getting a sequel I was very excited. You know a movie is going to be plotless when it stars Jason Stathem. So here we go with my thoughts on The Meg 2: The Trench.

Gen V
We left off episode 4 with Emma getting all big trying to subdue Sam at the doctors house. And there is this really hard cut and our characters don’t seem to remember anything from the night and day before. So we are missing big giant chunks of time from a very intense moment. And though it seems like it was just a giant party there seems to be more going on.

Dancing With The Stars
Okay so I had never seen Dancing With The Stars before this season. When I started ballroom dancing it was something that I was vaguely aware of but really had no desire to watch. Students bring in videos all time of dances from that show that bear no resemblance to actual dancing. They have fun tricks and fancy set pieces but for the most part Dancing With The Stars is not dancing. But the existence of Alyson Hannigan on the show this season has broken me down and we are watching, so here are my very qualified thoughts. Please remember this is coming from an internationally certified ballroom dance instructor who is also a rhythm champion and a smooth and standard finalist.

Gen V
Gen V is now releasing week to week after dropping 3 episodes at once. The first 3 episodes did a great job of setting up the story, the characters and the conflict. I think it does a great job of staying consistent with the world we already know from The Boys. Nothing in the spin off contradicts existing canon and it does a really good job of expanding on the parts of the world that The Boys doesn’t really show us.

Goosebumps
Now that it is October, many Halloween media has dropped. I thought I would start with the new Goosebumps series on Hulu. I am a total Goosebumps kid, I used to read the books and my dad, brother and I would all watch the original movies when I was younger. So as someone who is already a fan of the concept I thought we’d check out the new series.

The Shows That Got Me Through Covid
I feel like we don't talk about the Covid years a lot. I feel like a lot of us have pushed those dark times under the rug and we are just praying that we never have to go through it again. Sometimes, it can be hard to revisit the dark times.
