Reviewing Vanessa Aspillaga's Pair of Cold-Blooded Villainesses
When I started watching Hulu's Only Murders in the Building on the day it premiered, I was elated to see (among other actors) Vanessa Aspillaga on the series. Aspillaga plays Ursula, the manager of the Arconia building, on the show, having appeared in nine episodes so far. The reason why I was so happy to see Aspillaga on the show is simple: I had seen her play a pair of very captivating villainesses on other shows. This review covers both of Aspillaga's villainous roles, and they are as follows:

Villainess Review: Jodi Byron (Dating Hell)
Fans of Lifetime films, such as myself, received a Thursday treat with this movie, Dating Hell, which centered on divorced mother Hannah and her attempts to get back in the dating scene. With the help of her good friend, Charlotte, Hannah's dating app profile has many hits, but her best match is Daniel, who runs a security business. They hit it off instantly, but as their relationship starts to develop, a masked intruder makes their way into the home of Hannah's neighbor, Kara, and murders her in her bedroom.

She-Hulk Review: "Mean, Green, and Straight Poured Into These Jeans"
My excitement for Episode 5 began seconds after Episode 4 ended, because I knew we would see Titania back again. We only received a brief glimpse of the superhuman villainess in the first episode, when she invaded the courtroom only to be taken down by She-Hulk, with the fight resulting in Jen Walters' fame and rise in stock. However, as the final moments of Episode 4 saw, Titania decided to deliver a bit of a blow to She-Hulk's popularity--in the form of a trademarking lawsuit.

Villainess Review: Audra Simonetti (Babysitter's Nightmare)
Babysitter's Nightmare (aka Kill the Babysitter) was quite a memorable Lifetime film, mainly because of the villainess involved--as well as who was playing her. More on that later. After an opening scene that features a young woman being suffocated to death by a hooded figure, the scene quickly shifts to nurse Daphne Hart, who had been tending to (among other patients), a young boy named Mason; however, when Daphne's superior stepped away from Mason just for a brief moment, the young boy ended up taking a fatal turn for the worse.

NFL Week 1 Recap: Super Bowl Hangover?
At long last, the NFL is back! We drink in the NFL season because it's the shortest of all of the main sports seasons, which results in the longest offseason--lasting from mid-February until early September. Though my main sport is hockey, I often find myself counting down the days until the the NFL does return, and because I play fantasy football, the eagerness increases. Nevertheless, the season is here, and what an opening week it truly was.

MLB Pennant Race 2022: 1st Berth Clinched, Are the Yankees Truly Back?
While many sports fans (myself included) were focused on the beginning of another sport's season, there was still a postseason push going on in Major League Baseball. The month of September is closing in on the midpoint, and there are still some intriguing storylines out there--as the season enters the final 24 days. They are as follows:

CFL Week 14 Recap: Seven Weeks Left
In the CFL season, the Labour Day Weekend batch of games is often followed by a few rematches on the following week. Week 14 is also a pivotal week, as the season becomes two-thirds done, with only seven weeks left to go. While we did get a pair of rematches, Week 14 actually began with the Montréal Alouettes hosting the BC Lions, the latter being the one team who did not participate in the Labour Day Weekend festivities. This was a battle between second place teams in their respective divisions, but despite this, the teams were leagues apart in the overall standings. Even though the Lions were on the road, I (and probably many other fans) expected a lopsided win in favor of the road team.

Villainess Review: Joelle (Girls' Night Out)
It's been five years, yet I still remember Lifetime's film, Girls' Night Out--especially the surprise ending, but I'll get to that. This film centered on exactly what the title says: a girls' night out--namely a bachelorette party. The bride-to-be and main protagonist is McKenzie, and the women involved in the party are her former sorority sisters: Joelle, Rebecca, and Sadie, with Joelle planning the party. A night of wild fun and a lot of drinking is in the cards, but what wasn't in the cards was a vengeful vendetta enacted by McKenzie's ex-boyfriend, Brandon.

Villainess Review: Samantha Sloan (Are My Friends Killers?)
Like with most Lifetime films, I learned about Are My Friends Killers? months ago back when it had its original title, Secrets on Campus, and I had been eagerly excited for this film ever since. Yet another gem from Marvista Entertainment, the film opens with college student Lauren Price jogging, until she suddenly collapses and passes on. Her best friend, Zoey Connors, received the tragic news from Lauren's mother, and after the funeral service, Mrs. Price made an offer for Zoey: she would pay for a full tuition for Zoey to attend Woodford--the same college that Lauren attended--doing so in memory of her daughter.

She-Hulk Review: "Is This Not Real Magic?"
We are now in the heart of the MCU series, She-Hulk: Attorney at Law, and when we last saw our heroine, she was dealing with the Wrecking Crew, who she defeated easily. Despite this, and despite her powers, Jen receives worry from her father, Morris, and elsewhere, we see a magician known as Donny Blaze performing magic for a sparse (and bored) crowd. He gets a volunteer named Madisynn ("two N's and one Y, but it's not where you think") King, who is given white roses that Blaze turns red. The audience remains board and Madisynn is not impressed...until Blaze opens a portal. Madisynn goes through and (after entering a hellish dimension) ends up at Wong's palace, where she spoils an episode of The Sopranos that Wong was looking forward to watching.

Villainess Review: Norma Carter (Perry Mason)
Without question, Perry Mason has to be one of the most iconic shows in TV history. Based on the novels written by Erle Stanley Gardner, Perry Mason aired on CBS for nine seasons and 271 episodes from 1957 until 1966, with only Season Nine's "The Case of the Twice-Told Twist," being filmed in color. Raymond Burr starred in the series as the titular lawyer, with the show setting the bar when it came to legal dramas. The series spawned a short-lived reboot, The New Perry Mason, which didn't feature any of the original cast, but beginning in 1985, Raymond Burr and Barbara Hale (the latter playing Mason's secretary, Della Street) appeared in a series of Perry Mason telefilms. 30 such films aired on TV from 1985-1995, with "The Case of the Killer Kiss" being Burr's final film, airing two months after his passing, while the final four films carried on without the lead actor. In 2020, a Perry Mason reboot series debuted on HBO, with Matthew Rhys in the title role.

Villainess Review: Natalie Gale (Elementary)
I've said this before and I'll say it again: I love Elementary. I really loved that show and everything about it; the cast, the plots, the stories, and yes, the villainesses. The show had an amazing crop of evil and murderous women in the seven years that it aired on CBS, and the episode, "Blood is Thicker," was certainly no different.
