Mickey 17
Mickey 17 was on the must watch list for last year but time got away from me. We are once again playing catch up before awards season, I promise I will start doing these in a timely manner this year! This was a film we knew we wanted to see. Robert Pattinson is actually an incredible actor who sometimes still gets caught up in Twilight discourse in an attempt to discredit his skills. That combined with it being a Bong Joon Ho movie made it highly anticipated.

John Cena's retirement
Happy New Years to all my readers! I know it's been a while. I do apologize and I want to start writing again. I promise I'll try my best, so here we go. It's been quite a while since John Cena's final match. Truthfully I'm still in denial that it's finally over. As a friendly reminder, like all kids around my age John Cena was one of my favorite wrestlers growing up. Batista was my absolute favorite but John was definitely up there. I had stopped watching wrestling once the PG era started, but deep down and as I'd gotten older I've always had an affinity for wrestling. But when John announced his retirement. I decided to follow a little more closely, as shown by my previous articles both simply thanking Cena and my 2024 prediction as to how it would go down and what I'd like to see from his retirement tour.

KPop Demon Hunters
Okay so I’ve been hearing about nothing but KPop Demon Hunters since it came out. The kids I teach loved it, my cousin loved it, my roommate loved it. So I knew that it would at the very least get some popularity nominations so I knew I had to watch it.

The Night I Stopped Waiting for Wings
I was fifteen the first time I saw the wings. It was 2009. My best friend and I huddled in her basement, sharing a bag of chips, eyes glued to the TV as women in glitter and lace walked like they owned the air itself. They were radiant, powerful, untouchable. One wore wings so wide they brushed the stage lights; another smiled like she held the secret to happiness itself.

The Materialists
Ya know when this movie first came out I thought what a shame it is that Pedro Pascal and Chris Evans were even in this movie. Because I love both of them and they are fantastic actors but the person that ties their characters together is Dakota Johnson and she’s just such a bad actress.

Stranger Things Series Review (Season 5: Vol I, II & Finale)
For nine years, Stranger Things has dominated the streaming charts with its lovable characters, visceral sci-fi horror and affectionate tributes to the eighties. Many an audience has been captivated by the show; it’s a shame then that the end of this long-running saga falls short in several places.

The Boy in the Rain
I didn’t go for the game. I went for my nephew. He’s twelve, wears a faded jersey two sizes too big, and talks about football like it’s scripture. “It’s not just running and tackling, Uncle,” he’d said, eyes wide. “It’s about heart. About who shows up when no one’s watching.”

Top 10 Lifetime Villainesses of 2025 (Part 2: The Top 5)
2025 was kind of a special year for Lifetime movies. I mentioned in Part 1 that we saw angles that were very new to the Lifetime film scene, but we also saw a good amount of star power as well in thrillers. In thrillers! Lifetime usually saves the big guns for holiday films and true crime retellings, but we saw some interesting names appear for Lifetime this year. Some of them even played villainesses. The casting in some films has given this fan hope for future films, but that's another few stories.
