One of my personal favourite podcasts is Dateline (technically it's a TV show, but I only really listen to the audio version from their podcast.) But did you know about Date with Dateline??
If you like Dateline, please listen to Date with Dateline. It's basically two women ...

I re-watched another favourite recently, Se7en! So so so good. So gross, though. But so good. Thankfully Netflix over here added it to their collection so it was an easy choice the other night. Definitely not for the faint of heart (did I say it was gross?) but such a fantastic m...

Yes. It's true. That's me at 12 in a dive bar in Florida, rocking those braces. Growing up was a very weird (and often hilarious) time.
This was our favourite local bar near our home in Florida - We often went with another family who had a daughter around my age (the other girl in the...

Recently I listened to the new podcast from the LA Times: It Was Simple - The Betty Broderick Murders!
Going into it, I didn't know the case or the crimes, so it was nice to learn something new (although deeply disturbing).

Our house lost internet for 3 days and we could only watch live TV (gasp). Mum saw The Hunted was on so she taped it for us to watch that night. Oh boy. Oh BOY. Considering it has some big names, this movie sucked. Maybe it was passable in 2003 but it certainly did not age well. ...

I know the ratings are terrible (26% and 38%) but I always thought this movie was so much fun. It's incredibly dated and has NOT aged well but I thought it was a great re-watch! It's on N...

I finally bit the bullet and bought Animal Crossing for my Switch Lite.

I didn't check the reviews on this one and maybe I should have. A simple look on Rotten Tomatoes shows that the film has a 39% critic rating and 48% audience score.
But I didn't check and I watched it anyway. Yikes.
The idea is interesting but it's so badly made, the acting blow...

After we had to put our first dog Sydney to sleep when I was 14, everyone in the family was pretty devastated. I was certain that we would likely never get another dog again... until a year later my Dad saw Jack and within a few days, he was at our house.
