News, week in reproductive justice By Kylie Cheung on Sat,12:24 This week was heavy with reminders about the importance of state and local elections in impacting key human rights issues, not the least of which being reproductive rights. TV, Ewan McGregor, Obi-Wan Kenobi, Star Wars (franchise) By Rachel Leishman on Sat,10:55 I'm a patient person (or I'd like to think that I am), but the knowledge that Lucasfilm has been toying with the idea of an Obi-Wan Kenobi standalone story for the last 4 years, and Ewan McGregor knew about it, is the straw that broke the proverbial camel's back. News, Elijah Cummings, Mitch McConnell, things we saw today By Kaila Hale-Stern on Fri,6:00 A true American hero emerged today at Elijah Cummings' funeral after passing right by Senate Majority Leader "Moscow Mitch" McConnell without a handshake. Movies, Girl on the Third Floor, horror, movie review By Brittany Knupper on Fri,5:29 Girl on the Third Floor, the directorial debut of longtime genre producer Travis Stevens, hits streaming this weekend. It tells the story of Don Koch (C.M. Punk), a man attempting to rebuild his life by renovating an old house in the suburbs of Chicago. He is in partially self-imposed exile, with his very pregnant wife remaining behind in the city. They both hope this new house will give their relationship and livelihoods a fresh start. News, Rudy Giuliani By Vivian Kane on Fri,4:47 Rudy Giuliani remains the king of endlessly mockable breaches of national security. News, Jane Fonda, Ted Danson By Rachel Leishman on Fri,4:15 Kudos to the GOATs. May Jane Fonda, Ted Danson, and Sam Waterston have iconic mugshots that I will willingly wear on t-shirts. TV, Castle Rock, Misery, stereotypes By Brittany Knupper on Fri,3:25 It’s interesting to take a character like Annie Wilkes, in 2019, and place her in not just a central role, but in the role of the apparent heroine (it is Castle Rock, after all, so this could change with a few more episodes). Books, Sponsored, jennifer l. armentrout, the burning star By Kaila Hale-Stern on Fri,2:52 The wait to return to Jennifer L. Armentrout's Lux universe is finally over. 'The Burning Shadow' is here. News, Kellyanne Conway By Vivian Kane on Fri,2:07 The reporter released audio and a transcript of a call with Conway, who called to berate her–and again, this is a reporter from the Washington Examiner so really, there are no heroes here. But my god, Conway sure is pushing to make herself the villain. |
