After watching episode 7, I said to my partner, “This episode was so boring. I don’t feel like writing about it.” He had a lot of things to say, so I suggested that he write the post, and he did! So, dear reader, I give you a guest blog post on Bridgerton by Mr. B.:…

Bridgerton, Episode 4
Get ready for the yelling! Not the characters’ yelling. Mine. I found myself super frustrated while watching episode 4–more frustrated by this episode than any of the others thus far. Why?

Bridgerton, Episode 3
Let’s talk about young women’s bodies. After all, from episodes 1-3 the Bridgerton creators have been forcing us to look upon them as commodities. Indeed, this is supposed to be a reflection of the marriage market, which puts us as viewers in the position of potential suitors, I guess. Well, we have bought into this,…

I’m back at it again, y’all. I’m Grinching up your (and my) favorite Christmas shows. Last night I decided to watch the Steven Spielberg classic, Gremlins (1984).

Killer Santas and Why You Shouldn’t Get Married on Christmas Eve
Last night I decided to watch a Doctor Who Christmas episode: “The Runaway Bride” from 2006 featuring David Tennant (my doctor) and Catherine Tate. This was Tennant and Tate’s first pairing, but Whovians know it wouldn’t be their last. This episode features a bride, Donna Noble, who is walking down the aisle to wed her…
