Killer Sex Bots
Last week, I saw Companion, a surprisingly great little movie starring Sophie Thatcher and Jack Quaid (who I loved in The Boys). I won’t be spoiling anything here that they don’t spoil in the trailer, but if you haven’t seen it and you think you might want to, you should probably come back and read this after.
Poster Child
Did you have posters in your room growing up? From the age of about 11, I was absolutely obsessed with Marilyn Monroe and I had posters of her on every wall.
Best of 2024
We’re three weeks into the new year, but it’s not too late to post a list of lists! Here are my favorite books, TV shows, movies and podcasts of 2024.
Battle in Barbie Land
I really wanted to like the Barbie movie. As a gen-x girly grrl, I had to campaign hard for my hippie mother to even let me play with Barbies. She thought they were a bad influence, for all the reasons you might expect... body image, sexualization, superficiality, appearance-obsession, consumerism, the fashion industry racket, etc. In other words, none of the issues the Barbie movie is concerned with.
