The Dawson Leery Movie List: Season 1
After all my years of loving Dawson’s Creek and admiring Dawson’s movie watching and referencing prowess, I’ve decided to make a list…

Stay Home = Disney Time!
So, back in December of 2019 — which, by my count, was about six thousand years ago — I set out a few Pop Culture themed challenges for myself to complete in this new decade. One of them was to watch all of the Walt Disney Animated Classics that had a theatrical release — so, […]
Read MoreOn Legends and Grief
I played basketball when I was in middle school. I’ve attended exactly one NBA game and one Harlem Globetrotters game. I have never participated in March Madness bracket. I don’t even know if I could name more than a dozen pro-basketball teams (are there even more than a dozen? I assume so, but I’m not […]
Read MoreAnd the nominees are…n’t?
WTF Oscars. I shouldn’t be surprised at this point. I know that. And I know there are plenty of people out there who like to espouse the “just don’t care” “the Oscars are pointless anyways” “it doesn’t matter” mantras. But here’s the issue: the Oscars do still matter. Maybe they shouldn’t, but that’s a different […]
Read MoreA Very (Not So) Scary Television List
Okay, first – who am I kidding? We all know I tremble and cry and hide at scary stuff, so it’s very, very unlikely that anything on this list is actually very scary, but…well, the rhyme scheme fit with my “A Very Merry Television List” from 2015, so I decided to run with it! Much […]
Read MoreThe One Where I Pick My Favorites
Yesterday (September 22, 2019) was the 25th Anniversary of the day the pilot episode of Friends aired in the U.S. I wasn’t a huge Friends fan always. In fact, I only remember watching a handful of episodes live in the later seasons, and it made decent background noise when it was in syndication and I […]
Read MoreBook & Movie Thoughts: Dumplin’
So, yes. I am the type of person who prefers to read a book before I see a movie. I still haven’t watched Netflix’s To All The Boys I’ve Loved Before because I haven’t gotten my hands on the book yet. But I did have a copy of Julie Murphy’s Dumplin’ on my shelf (untouched), […]
Read MoreThe Dangers of Too Much TV: Baking Edition
Who here has watched the Great British Baking Show (aka The Great British Bake Off)? Yeah, me too. It started in December of last year, when my normal obsession with anything Christmas-related kicks in, and I watched the holiday special version featuring Baby Spice. Then, of course, I watched every other episode I could find […]
Read MoreIs *A Christmas Prince* satire? (And other holiday pop culture musings)
So, I’m going to admit something. I tend to avoid “Hallmark holiday” movies like the plague. I think they’re saccharine-sweet ridiculousness is just near-impossible to consume. (Yes, that’s coming from the same person who will watch pretty much any Disney Animated Classic on repeat.) However, I am also a person who weirdly loves The Prince and the Pauper stories. […]
Read MoreMy Second Disneybound: Dream Big, Princess
What can I say? I mentioned on my first attempt with Disneybounding that it was addictive, and it proved to be true! On October 11, which happened to be #InternationalDayOfTheGirl, Disney posted an announcement encouraging people to Disneybound at the Parks as a princess or other female Disney character as part of their #DreamBigPrincess campaign, […]
