Before starting this project, I had seen exactly 9 episodes of Hulu’s The Handmaid’s Tale. It is only 10 episodes. That should be easy to blow through. I thought when I started this project that surely at some point during the 31-day project, I would get around to this last hour of content. I did not. Before starting this project, I’d seen 4 episodes of Amazon’s The Man … Continue reading Streaming Exclusive: The Shows I Meant to Watch
While I am not egotistical enough to believe that this blogging project had hoards of fans who read it religiously, I still owe an explanation to anyone who’s been trying to keep up. I haven’t written in several days in part because it’s really hard to write when you don’t feel proud of your writing. I hate feeling like I have nothing to write about … Continue reading Streaming Exclusive: The Blog About Not Blogging
Anne’s Note: I didn’t blog yesterday because I had not streamed anything the day before. I’ve been getting into a bad cycle of forcing myself to blog before watching anything. The problem with this is that some days I’m so tired from blogging that I end up not watching anything and thus have nothing to blog about. Since the ultimate purpose of this project is … Continue reading Streaming Exclusive Days 9 and 10: Endings and Beginnings
My Mood for the Day: What I Watched: Hulu’s Casual (S1:E4-S1:E6), plus seeing I, Tonya at the cinema.

There are enough think pieces on the internet explaining why Taylor Swift is mildly irritating, so there’s relatively little point in me writing another one. What I HAVEN’T seen on the internet is a list of music for people who like Taylor the Musician, but are becoming more and more irritated with Taylor the Celebrity. Or maybe you have no problem with Taylor, and perhaps … Continue reading Albums to Listen to Instead of Taylor Swift’s ‘Reputation’
People who have known me a long time know that it took me a ridiculously long time to finish the Harry Potter books. This isn’t because I thought the books were bad, it’s because I realized around 12 years old that I wasn’t reading out of genuine enjoyment, but out of social pressure. It was what everyone else was doing. It was something you did to feel relevant in the sort of bookworm social circles that 12-year-old me associated with.
The current version of this is Stranger Things. It’s not a BAD show. But the more I watch the more I can’t help but think that I’m not watching it out of genuine enjoyment, I’m watching because if I don’t watch it right now, someone might spoil it. It feels like a show I’m supposed to like. I WANT to catch up on Jane The Virgin, Crazy Ex Girlfriend, This Is Us, and Hell’s Kitchen. But I NEED to watch Stranger Things because I’m trying to have a blog about movies and tv and Stranger Things is something I should probably write about for SEO purposes. And just think of all the memes I wouldn’t understand if I didn’t watch Stranger Things. I NEED to be able to understand the memes and so apparently I NEED to watch Stranger Things.

So you may be vaguely aware of the fact that Chadwick Boseman is continuing his string of biopics about awesome, trailblazing black guys. Good for you Chadwick Boseman, you go Chadwick Boseman.
The latest of these of course is Marshall which seems to be getting relatively little hype despite being a decent movie about an important man with several B-list celebrities and also Kate Hudson. Continue reading “Marshall Should’ve Been a Miniseries”
When I was in college, I was required to take a documentary filmmaking class in order to get my mass communication degree. Over the course of the semester I was to make a 12-minute documentary, but there were a few smaller assignments along the way, plus the assignments for all my other classes. During this time I convinced myself that as part of my documentary … Continue reading Productive Procrastination
I’ve spent the past week binging my favorite Netflix Original, Bojack Horseman. Yes, Stranger Things, House of Cards, and Orange is the New Black, pale in comparison to the amazingness that is Bojack Horseman (insert something about how they’re totally different genres that shouldn’t really be compared here).
