It's HALLOWEEN! Fall is officially here with the weather in the 60s and darkness descending as soon as it can. Of course that means I have to sit down and tuck in for another movie that didn't cost me purchasing another streaming platform. Continue listening to me live vicariously through Marnie as she deals with another enemy trying to separate her from her family and their magic. Hope you enjoy! BYYEEE!!!!
Through my sleepy stupor, deep reflections are found underneath the "monstrous" visage of the creation forced to life. Victor Frankenstein is a tragic figure befalling consequences of his own hubris reflected back by a more tragic figure of his own creation. It's a story for all looking for the mirror to humanity's soul. Let's just say we aren't as good as we'd like to imagine. Enjoy tonight's episode! BYYEEE!!!!
Neve Campbell, Rose McGowan, Matthew Lillard, Courteney Cox. Need I say more? It's a live recording this time and I enjoyed every second. Watch along and let me know what you think before I get got. BYYEEE!!!!
A riveting tale explores the horrors of history and personal decisions that ignore tradition, four friends' relationship to a moment of selfishness has lasting consequences for all involved or attached. Well-written, captivating, and somewhat perplexing at times, enjoy tonight's episode whenever you happen listen! BYYEEE!!!!
In a world where comedy is needed more than ever, I embarked on a journey well overdo, watching Scary Movie. With the likes of Anna Faris, Regina Hall, and Marlon and Shawn Wayans, it is an understatement that this movie's goops and gags and grosses left a lasting impression. Please tune in for another rousing discussion on a Halloween classic! BYYEEE!!!!
The legacy of America enshrouds the crimes and traumas present within the survivors of slavery. Its history soaks the land and raises the dead; no wonder Toni Morrison felt it necessary to utilize the horror genre to elicit the masked tragedies of those still living and dead in Sethe and Denver's experience in their haunted home. With much to discuss and reflect in memory, enjoy tonight's episode! BYYEEE!!!!
Welcome to the world of witchcraft, where wild girls willfully work with spirits for the pursuit of power. With Nancy, Rochelle, and Bonnie, Sarah's arrival breathes new life into the worlds of the girls who have been pushed to the outskirts of their small-town, religious community, seeking power and control over their lives. Sordid and dark with touches of humanity throughout, enjoy this retelling of one of my now favorites. BYYEEE!!!!
If there was anything I could do, it would to learn to become a god. Turn into jet, cast pizzas down from the sky, delete every spam email without having to individually unsubscribe from each. All-powerful, you know? But if I had a Father lock me up and hide the proverbial key in a metaphorical lock to figuratively keep me tied, I'd imagine I'd rethink the whole idea. Carolyn didn't have much of a choice though, at least at the beginning. But becoming a God must require consistency and a dutiful mind, in spite of resurrecting old, dangerous gods on your way. C'est la vie! Hope you enjoy tonight's episode! BYYEEE!!!!
For one of the first movies for October that I'm watching, Halloweentown is a quintessential staple of my life. From the spells, rambunctious grandma, and celebratory moments dedicated to the beauty and wonder of Halloween? It was made for me. I'm excited to share my joy in this extra episode release! BYYEEE!!!!
To say Agustina put her foot in this book would be a poor, but accurate, choice of words for a book about humanity's commitment towards government-sanctioned cannibalism. From abhorrent conditions for "meat" and "flesh" for sale, we follow the steps of a deceptive protagonist who offers subversive, and complicit accounts of the everyday life of Carlos Tejo, a meat runner leading us through this world of disgustingly parallel sentiments on consumption of one's humanity and the complicity for such madness for our safety. Rage with me as we bring in October for a month of horror and disgust. Enjoy! BYYEEE!!!!
Y'all! The book and the movie are not the same. The characters, the plot, the danger, and the magic take deep breathe and exhale as if they are thrumming on the page. I devoured it up and hope loves find me heads over heels and loved correctly before my life is over, and I'm talking about turning 30. Black cats, deep bodies, and complicit aunts make this a story that you don't want to miss. I hope you enjoy tonight's episode introducing us to September and the Fall season! BYYEEE!!!!
Adolescence is tough enough without a world ready to raise you. Boyhood is an experience that marks against the expectations of femininity and softness, luxuries of childhood no longer afforded to the youth as they are arriving at the threshold of self-awareness and maturity. The protagonist goes unnamed and we continue to watch self-actualization without a face or identity attached to the humanity we see lost to the world. Maybe something can found on the other side of such an experience. You'll just have to watch today's episode to find out. BYYEEE!!!!
Between adolescence and adulthood lies a chasm, the death of the self as we and others identify us. Through this developmental trauma comes understanding and awareness to the likes that shifts what we see in this world, and redefines the limitations that stop us from reaching out for more. Annie John asks us to consider a young girl's place in her home, beside her mom, as time works its way into their relationship and changes her life forever. Join us on this journey of self-discovery as we find ourselves caught up in an all-too-familiar storm. Buckle up! BYYEEE!!!!
If I had to pick between a thoughtful conversation about school and talking about school in classroom, I'd usually say can we find something else to talk about. But today's episode is a different story, especially when concerning the fate of schooling or trying to help the next generation in their personal growth, John Taylor Gratto hopefully offers something of value to you. Hope you enjoy! BYYEEE!!!!
From conversations about racism, legacy, and trauma, there's an undercurrent of regret voiced in today's episode, especially Matt Mendez takes us in a journey through his three protagonists' lives as we arrive to a turning point that leaves everything up in the air. Join me for a spoiler heavy discussion on the weight of identity and what happens when we are denied that subjectivity. I hope you enjoy the episode. BYYEEE!!!!
Transition and movement is an important factor in our lives; an element conducive to ideas of freedom and independence, but is sorely lacking when looking to the laws and policies passed that kmakes this more difficult. I wanted to have a conversation about this point through a novel about magic, and its latent potential accessed through focus and opportunity, similar to how we could imagine education or food or wages. But if everyone doesn't have the chance to learn, or be born with this potential, what comes out when we are left to figure how to succeed on our own? I hope you enjoy today's episode. BYYEEE!!!!
I can't believe I finally recorded a video for this podcast. While a little nerve-wracking and ultimately new territory, I'm excited to see the response. I'm talking about one of my favorite books that has impacted me, and after watching and listening, you'll see why. Luckily I don't completely lose it talking about Dade and his trials through life as college looms and summer's heat brings out the passion and love we hope for, it's time for change, and all that comes with it. Enjoy the unedited version! BYYEEE!!!!
We reach another end with this finale of the Rainbow Boys trilogy, but only just beginning to explore my love and cherishing for this book series; what it means to explore another part of myself that teenage-me loved and adult me is able to appreciate for a lifetime. I hope you enjoy another amazing episode of this stellar series. BYYEEE!!!!
Happy Birthday to me! I'm 29 today and overly contemplative; what's new? Lots of questions about growth, evolution, and the continuing story of Jason, Nelson, and Kyle as they come that much closer themselves. Jason's figuring out how to come out, Kyle is wondering what school is best, Nelson is wanting to find love as it comes, and I'm hoping not to choke up on the mic thinking about what another year in this life have left me to consider. I hope you enjoy, share, and wish me a happy birthday and many more to come. BYYEEE!!!!
Happy Birthday, Geminis. It's all about us, or something like that. It'll be my 29th soon enough and My mind can only focus on what I want and need. I want to grow. I need to reflect. And through both these things, Alex Sanchez was an influencing figure to say the least. I'm exploring myself through these Rainbow Boys and the lives they carry as they come to understand themselves and their relationships more. I hope you enjoy! BYYEEE!!!!
