Riverdale Recap! S3E10: The Stranger

January 27, 2019 Mary, Kelli, & Gabriella

Gabriella: I’ve left the sunny shores of Puerto Morelos for dreary Riverdale and I can’t say I’m glad to be back. This episode had a bunch of shocks and reveals — were y’all as surprised as I was? Maybe all the margaritas have gone to my head but I think Hal is my new favorite character…

Anyway, vamonos!

My Latest Obsession is a YouTube Series About The Sims

January 25, 2019 Emily

The title just about sums it up. My job here is done.

Oh wait, you want to hear more? Okay, fine. I’m going to be totally honest with you. I’ve been in a dark place lately. I’m in graduate school, so I’m familiar with dark places. Comprehensive exams are looming, dissertation deadlines are quickly approaching, and I’ve needed a bit of help getting through this end-of-school slump. After all, I don’t think you can call it Senioritis anymore when you’re, like, in 100th grade.

So how have I been dealing with the darkness? By indulging in a little YouTube show called Single Girl Tries the 100-Baby Challenge in the Sims 4. Catchy title, I know.

The Bachelor S23E3: I'm, like, BEFUMBLED.

January 23, 2019 Susan & Emily

Ahoy, Bachelor Buccaneers! Arrr, it’s your favorite time of the week, mateys. It’s time for Captain Susan and Captain Emily to man their ships: S.S. Here to Make Cocktails and S.S. Drowning in Bitches. Which ship will sail, and which team will walk the plank? Avast ye! Read on to find out. Remember, dead pageant girls tell no tales (or something). Here we go.

Susan: We’re back in the Bachelor mansion, where the magic happens. Except not this year because in case you forgot, Colton is a virgin. Don’t worry: the show will remind you.

Emily: The Colton cam is not back at the beginning of this episode, and I for one am not mad about it.

Susan: They’ve been hinting at the Miss USA pageant queens’ feud for a couple weeks, and we finally get a taste in episode 3, and it tastes like spray tan.

Emily: And yet we still have no idea what this drama is about, which makes for boring television, but more on that later.

The Particular Casual Horror of The Road Movie

January 17, 2019 Mary

Please bear with me as it is really difficult to find good pictures of this movie.

The Road Movie seems like it belongs on a late night A&E marathon, tucked between episodes of Live PD. The film, spliced together footage from Russian dashcams, doesn’t have a plot to speak of, yet editor Dmitrii Kalashnikov manages to bring together dissonant clips in a way that makes sense.

Welcome back to the land of unfulfilled desires aka The Bachelor: Virgin Takeover. This week, we get not one, not two, but THREE Parks & Rec guest stars to help us through this trying time. Colton goes on his first dates this week -- two group dates and a one-on-one, and we hear for the 5,000th time how and why he has come to be a virgin. Buckle up because it’s only the second episode. We’re gonna hear a lot more non-sexy stories before this is over.

Team Drowning in Bitches and team Here to Make Cocktails face off this week as ladies rack up points for behaving in very Bachelor ways and ticking lots of Bachelor boxes. We also get our first freak-out, our first competition date, a taste of the Miss USA drama to come (hopefully), and some questionable outfit choices. Find out which team “won” week 2 below. Then ask yourself, “Are there really any winners here?”

The beloved hosts of My Favorite Murder recently started their own podcast network called Exactly Right, and I’ve been so excited to check out their lineup, which caters to audiences that like MFM (also known as: me!). First up on my sampling of Exactly Right’s menu: This Podcast Will Kill You. First of all, that’s a great title. Second, it does something similar to what MFM does — makes an unsavory topic (infectious diseases, in this case) totally cool to talk about. And you’ll definitely want to be friends with these gals.
