Smart ladies love movies and TV, Trailer Tuesday, December 6, 2016

Trailer Tuesday via GIPHY Trailer Tuesday in which we try to discuss upcoming movies, movies we have recently watched, movies that are new to video-on-demand, Netflix and Amazon films, AND of course TV (because it’s our favorite). We also focus on inclusion and, of course, women in film –which is especially important to our collective culture. Out this week in theaters, VOD, streaming, and TV…

A bit of the pop culture I have been enjoying lately.

via GIPHY Every week month Whenever the hell I feel like it, I post what I have been listening to, watching and reading lately. Listening While Tinashe’s last record came out just two years ago, I feel like I have been waiting for ages for Joyride, but we got Nightride instead. It’s another in a long list of challenging R&B records…

Trailer Tuesday is big this week, featuring our thoughts on the Gilmore Girls, Hidden Figures, and MORE!

Smart ladies love lists, Pop-Culture-A-Go-Go, November 11, 2016

(This video made me laugh, because I needed it.) It’s been a REALLY rough week, and I’m not ready to talk about it. But! As an act of self-care, I have put myself on a news blackout. No MSNBC, no Nightly News… Everyone deals with things differently, so please take care of your friends and family and don’t push them to do what you…

Bunches of music and TV I've been enjoying this summer, including Summer Flake & She Loves Me.

Yes, it has been a super long time. The summer weather has made me want to hide in my air conditioned house and watch TV and listen to music all the time… which is why I can write this post of all the stuff I’m digging. Music My Discover Weekly on Spotify (I rejoined and so far it’s worth it) is usually full of boring white dude indie rock but it’s gotten a few things right lately. Summer Flake…
