"The Life of Chuck" Inspires in its Multitudes

I decided to see The Life of Chuck based solely upon the fact that it had been adapted from a Stephen King short story. Although I had never read the titular story, I went into the film with certain expectations. King has long been a staple in the literary horror genre. Similarly, Mike Flanagan, who adapted the source material for the screen, is known for his contributions to horror in television…

4 Bisexual TV Characters I Love

As a bisexual woman who came out later in life, I’ve had an interesting few years being a part of the LGBTQIA+ community and paying attention to The Discourse (be that good, bad, or all the shades in between). It has been so emotionally fulfilling to accept this part of myself, to be supported by so many people, and to learn so much. And simultaneously, I’ve found it draining to witness the…

What Your Favorite Muppet Says About You

One of my first special interests was the Muppets! I have seen pretty much every piece of Muppet media, and I just love these delightful little weirdos so much.  I haven’t done a “What Your Favorite _____ Says About You” article in a while, and since I have been on a Muppet kick lately, I figured it was the perfect time to revisit the format.  Without further ado, here is what your favorite…

10 Upcoming Summer Movies to Watch

Summer movie culture is always slightly confusing to me. Why, during the nicest part of the year, would I want to be inside watching a blockbuster movie, regardless of how good it is? Still, though, I understand that for many people the Movie of the Summer is something they look forward to finding and watching as many times as possible. This year, there’s so many trashy mid-budget movies to watch…

Spoilers through episode nine of Hacks season 4 “I might be a capitalist pig myself, but first and foremost, I’m a comedian,” Deborah says partway through her on-air speech.
