The French Connection (1971) is one of those movies that had me asking, “Who the FUCK wrote these reviews and what the FUCK movie did they watch?!” I guess you could say I didn’t love it. Lol. A few minutes in, I actually had to turn to Jay and ask him what the movie was […]

Book Review: A History of the World in 100 Objects by Neil MacGregor
I really wanted to enjoy A History of the World in 100 Objects by Neil MacGregor because, you know, history. I mean… I wanted to enjoy it… But… *inhales* A History of the World in 100 Objects? More like A History of Colonialism in 100 Objects that Should Be Returned! Darn that overdeveloped justice sensitivity… […]

Movie Review: It’s a Wonderful Life (1946)
CATEGORY: christmas, Christmas movies, classic movies, film & tv, film and tv, film reviews, holiday movies, movie reviews, movies
It’s time to review another film on my list of 100 Classic Must-See Movies (That I’veSomehow Never Seen) and this one’s tough. I’ve had to watch it three times to get this far because… Urgh. The first time I watched It’s a Wonderful Life, I hated it. I accidentally caught it on telly a few […]

Movie Review: Clickbait: Unfollowed (2024)
CATEGORY: cinephile, couch potato, film & tv, film reviews, horror, horror movies, modern horror, movie reviews, movies, social media, streaming, Tubi
OMG, y’all. Tubi is the new home for horror. We found two of the best movies we’ve seen this year on Tubi, which came as a surprise because the streaming service is still free. (For now.) And, yeah, it’s only the beginning of March, but both movies were better than anything we had to pay […]

Book Review: AHH! That’s What I Call Horror: An Anthology of ’90s Horror (Various Authors)
CATEGORY: 1990s, anthology, bibliophile, book review, books, books and reading, bookwhore, horror, horror anthology, horror books, nostalgia, short stories
As someone who’s been published in… a few anthologies, I know better than most how difficult it can be to review them. The best anthologies will have something for everyone – but, unfortunately, that usually means you won’t love every story in it. That was the case with AHH! That’s What I Call Horror: An […]

Movie Review: Slay (2024)
CATEGORY: b movies, couch potato, film & tv, film reviews, horror, horror movies, movie reviews, Tubi
Drag artists vs redneck vampires? Um… Yas, QUEENS. I came across Slay (2024) during one of those two hour neurodivergent strolls through every streaming service we own that ended with me watching Big BangTheory for, I dunno, the thousandth time? Honestly, I thought it would take more persuasion to get Jay to watch it with […]

Movie Review: All the President’s Men (1976)
It’s been a hot minute since we tackled one of the movies on my list, so we recently decided to have All the President’s Men – for, you know, no relevant reasons – which tells the story of The Washington Post’s Bob Woodward (Robert Redford) and Carl Bernstein (Dustin Hoffman,) the reporters responsible for breaking the […]

Movie Review: Nosferatu (2024)
CATEGORY: cinephile, Cineworld, film, film & tv, film review, horror, modern horror, movie, movie review
For the past few weeks, my feed has been full of… well, the usual Trump-induced rage and despair. But, aside from what has (horrifyingly) become “the norm,” my timeline was full of horror fans raving about Nosferatu (2024) and, as a diehard Drac Fan™, it got me stoked for this remake. Maybe the bar was […]

A Witch’s Apothecary
Today, I’m playing the What Do I Have? What Do I Need To Get? What Needs To Go? game. It’s important to check your herbs regularly to make sure they’re in good condition and not too old. Some witches will tell you that you MUST GET RID OF ANY HERBS OLDER THAN SIX MONTHS! Bollocks […]

Movie Review: Truth or Dare (2012)
CATEGORY: British cinema, cinephile, couch potato, film & tv, film review, horror, horror movies, movie review
We recently took a chance on a 2012 movie called Truth or Dare. (Not to be confused with the 2018 film of the same name.) There was no trailer available on Prime, which is usually an instant pass for us, but the ratings were quite high (4.3/5) and we didn’t have anything else to watch […]
