The trailer for Michelle Obama’s new Netflix cooking show, Waffles + Mochi has entered the stratosphere and broken earth’s cuteness barrier. The show which follows aspiring puppet chefs Waffles, a waffle covered yeti, and Mochi, a pink mochi, appears to be a cross between Anthony Bourdain: No Reservations, Sesame…
Sometimes, when I’m blogging, I’ll let the YouTube algorithm autoplay. Music, movies, and television are too distracting and engaging but I can’t tolerate silence either, so clips from late-night television shows and trailers often fill my apartment like white noise. (Also, I haven’t been red-pilled yet, so far so…
Why swipe when you can blast?
Hello, I am a television executive and I’m here to give you some great news. Remember that character you loved as a child from that show you would watch after school? Yes, the plucky one who you cheered for because you would imagine yourself being smart and brave and going on adventures with her instead of crying in…
Pictured above is Dr. Lee’s reaction to Joanne’s reaction to Dr. Lee, which was immediate tears. This one’s a real rollercoaster.
What week is this? Who is left? Is Matt James happy? I just want him to be happy?
When I was a small child, I never ate the vegetables I encountered on my dinner plate, preferring instead to kick, scream, whine, and then feed the offending dish to the dog. How different things might’ve been if former First Lady Michelle Obama was the one gently encouraging me to eat my peas, using Muppet-adjacent…
As the judges deliberated who stayed and who sashayed away during Episode 6 of RuPaul’s Drag Race, Ru asked the question that has been hanging over Tamisha Iman, a recent cancer survivor and established drag veteran competing despite still having an ostomy bag as her body heals, since she first revealed part of her…
In addition to a rather damning look back at Justin Timberlake’s behavior regarding his ex Britney Spears, the New York Times-made/FX-Hulu-aired documentary Framing Britney Spears featured a galling interview with former paparazzo Daniel Ramos. Regardless of the piles of footage of Spears so surrounded by strobing…
It’s been speculated that in some way, The Weeknd’s performance as a plastic surgery patient kept under wraps by some bloody bandages in his “Save Your Tears” video, is a dig at ex-girlfriend Bella Hadid. Well, not Hadid specifically, but at the rumors of her own experience going under the knife—which, to be clear, she…
On Saturday, Lifetime aired Whitney Houston & Bobbi Kristina: Didn’t We Almost Have It All, a documentary teeming with talking heads from the inner circle of Houston and her daughter, including relatives, godchildren, Whitney Houston: Can I Be Me? co-director Rudi Dolezal, and singers Cherrelle and Pebbles. Didn’t We w…
OK, so I know that generational discourse is bullshit, that someone from Generation X wouldn’t necessarily be all that different from a Millennial just because the former was born in 1980 and the latter in 1981, that it’s all just an excuse to sell books and or publish blogs and articles (hi), etc., etc., etc., but…
Yes, it’s cute: Flo Milli, “Roaring 20s” - One thing that’s refreshing about Flo Mili right now is that her music doesn’t sound like it was made to go viral on TikTok, and “Roaring 20s” is no exception. It’s a fun track that faithfully samples Fiddler on the Roof and features Flo Milli’s beloved brand of bravado: A…
It was Meat Week on The Drew Barrymore Show this week, which is... definitely a theme. Barrymore’s Meat Week activities included eating meat off a stick, cooking pork chops, taste-testing ribs, confessing that she is intimidated by plantains (not a euphemism), admitting that she mostly eats vegetarian, and then…
Brethren and sistren, we have made it to a sad yet joyful time in our faith walk. Wednesday was the season finale of Salt Lake City and the end of our time together standing in judgment over these women. It has been an honor to serve as your vicar, your confessor, and your explainer of sin. But the day of judgment has…
Christopher Plummer, the actor whose career started after his masterful turn as Captain Von Trapp in The Sound of Music, died Friday at 91. Coincidentally, The Sound of Music aired on network television in December of last year, around the week of Christmas, resulting in an inevitability that I think anyone could see…
Lisa Vanderpump fled the building in 2019 amid claims that she orchestrated some chaos at... uh... let me see if I remember this correctly: There was a pet adoption agency and then there were some rich ladies who adopted dogs and one said she gave a dog back and the other said she didn’t and then people fought about…
Cardi B’s new track, “Up,” is fine. Really! It’s fine. Does it sound like it was made to become a new TikTok challenge? Yes, and even the retro, Eazy E-inspired flow Cardi uses can’t change that. The song has its moments, notably “if that nigga had a twin, I would let ‘em run a train” (sure!) and “if it ain’t no ring…
A Humanistic Movie About Porn, a Queer Refugee Story, and Other Gems From the Sundance Film Festival
As it sometimes goes in a pandemic, for this year’s Sundance Film Festival, something lost meant something gained. What was lost was obvious: The ability to be in Park City, Utah, in person; the parties; the vibe; the communal audience experience. What was gained was glorious: The ability to watch a highly curated…
The weirdest show on television is getting even weirder, it seems. Riverdale is in its fifth season, and it’s doing a time leap, baby. After years of dealing with gang violence, cultists, illicit organ harvesters, and serial killers, the gang finally graduated from high school, and the episode airing next Wednesday…
