Back when I could go to the gym, my go-to workout playlist is my own! Unsurprisingly, Rap Gods includes some of my favourite rap/hiphop songs! Feel free to follow the playlist on Spotify, or use some of these tracks as inspiration for your own playlist :)

Lately I've been watching the new season of Killing Eve and let me tell you - it's so good!
If you're into mystery, spies, crime, great writing, fabulous acting, a Canadian lead and a fantastic show: you should watch it!
Next time you're bored and not sure what to watch, check out Sea...

Most people know that I'm a crazy dog lady (if you didn't know, now you do). I don't have my own dog right now because frankly:
1. I don't have the money
2. I don't have the time
3. I'm also now living out of my parents' guest bedroom with no end in sight
But this beautifu...

Patreon member Bayliss (cheers Bayliss!) suggested sharing some life stories, including my very brief time working at Walmart. Great idea!
I worked at Walmart for 2 months in-between first and second year of college. I was back home for the summer and needed a job. Thankfully it was Walmart...

That's right! Dateline NBC has a new podcast! Motive for Murder premieres tomorrow (May 7)! I saw somewhere that it's about 7 episodes, I think.. so unlike usual Dateline, all 7 episodes will cover the same story.
I'm not sure if they'll release all the episodes at once (un...

Finally watched Everest the other night from 2015. I really enjoyed it! While there's not much of a story, the visuals are incredible, fabulous soundtrack/music and overall a great film!
Made me feel dizzy and very cold. You don't need to remind me to never climb a mo...

Watched the new movie Extraction with Chris Hemsworth and it was totally fine! Think India's John Wick - lots of violence, great stunts and fighting choreography with not much of a story (although I love John Wick so much more than this).
I don't think anything in this movi...

During our latest Best Buds livestream, Patreon members helped me brainstorm different things I could share on Patreon (funny stories, reviewing stuff together, etc) One of them was sharing what I've been listening to!

Patreon member Jim (thanks Jim!) suggested that we could do some type of review every once in awhile, so why not a monthly book club??

Finally got around to watching I, Tonya and I really enjoyed it! I liked that they use a faux-documentary-interview style to tell a story that I actually didn't know many of the details!
Definitely worth a watch, even if you couldn't care less about ice skating.

Oh buddy - this video really fought me! First the audio, then getting corrupted! It's cursed!
So sorry about the audio quality - my "VoiceOver" microphone is still in England so I had to improvise... might need to hold off on doing this types of videos until I'm back there again and reunite...

Recently I watched Wild Rose and really enjoyed it! I appreciated that the story felt quite authentic in all it's sad-grimy glory.
However, the Glaswegian accent was SO HARD TO UNDERSTAND! Half the time I would only understand a portion of every sentence... at least i...

I meant to watch Official Secrets at the cinema, but it left before I had a chance. I saw that it's on Amazon Prime (at least in Canada) and really enjoyed it! An all-around great political drama!
I really had NO idea of the story, but it's explained in a straight-forward w...

I watched The Two Popes and although I am not religious in any way, I found it really interesting! Leads Jonathan Pryce and Anthony Hopkins are incredible, the cinematography is beautiful and some of the scenes really stuck with me afterwards.

Re-watched Dawn of the Dead because why not? I remembered it being a great zombie film but it didn't hold up to my memory... prettttty dang silly and I definitely laughed out loud more than once.

Even though I'm heavily into true crime, I'm surprised I never got around to watching this one before! Decided to pop on Changeling and it was good! Bit long, bit predictable, but still a really good watch. I think it's worth watching even if you know a lot about the true story.<...

The other night I wanted a bad movie. You know the feeling, where you just want to watch something that KNOWS that it's a bad movie? I decided on Dark Light that I found on Netflix. Didn't research what it was about, or it's movie score, but knew it was going to be bad. Good Lord...

I LOVE DOGS and had been meaning to watch Isle of Dogs since it came out in 2018. I guess there's one good thing about this quarantine..!
I really enjoyed this movie. The animation, the art, and overall design was SO much fun to look at. Plus: dogs! A really sweet film that...

I went into The Hunt with no expectations - the last few films I've watched were boring and typical. I was actually pleasantly surprised with this one! It's silly, a bit outrageous, but I enjoyed it. Something a bit different to break up all the monotamy of being at home.

Even with huge names and a lot of "style" I really didn't care about The Gentlemen.
Movies like Snatch and Lock Stock & Two Smoking Barrels are fantastic - some of my favourites! But this felt like rehashing the same type of stuff without any of the authenticity that the earlier films h...

Watched the new movie "Lost Girls" on Netflix - it was fine!
Based on a true story, I actually enjoyed the Dateline episode on these crimes more than the film. If you're stuck inside and you like true crime, the movie is certainly worth a watch, just not the greatest.

Dogman has been on my list for a long time but I finally got around to watching it (I guess one good thing about not being able to do anything else?)
