Rant: Monthly Dee-Lights (12/21)

Just a quick note of some of the funnest content I consumed last month (in no particular order): – I watched the 2010 MacGruber movie for the first time, in preparation for its belated TV-series-sequel. Based on a recurring Saturday … Continue reading

Big Steps For Small Children

Although I’m enjoying Drew Barrymore’s new zom-com Santa Clarita Diet, I’m trying to eke it out and only watch one episode a week… and I haven’t gotten around to the new all-female Ghostbusters reboot yet, because frankly I was never … Continue reading
