  • Episode Review: The Buccaneers Season 2, Episode 7- “All Rise”

    The fact that there is only one episode left of this season is something entirely worth losing my mind over. If you’re wondering, “oh why would she be losing her mind?” do not even get me started. I love The Buccaneers, do not get me wrong, but the emotional distress this episode—and last week’s episode—are…

  • Episode Review: The Buccaneers Season 2, Episode 6- “Every Single Piece of My Heart”

    Now I Know We All Had Our Jaw on the Ground After Tuesday Nights Episode—I Certainly Did. This episode ruined me in all the ways possible. I will say—I have never cried while watching The Buccaneers, but oh, did they have my shirt soaked this episode. It felt like there was so much going on,…

  • Episode Review: The Buccaneers Season 2, Episode 4- “Ice Cream”

    Guys, I have so many thoughts I cannot even comprehend. First, let’s celebrate the GuyNan reunion. I was beyond excited to see my GuyNan together again, even if it was short-lived. All I could think about was Futile Devices when they were dancing and laughing in dear old Italy. I haven’t had such a big…

  • The Walter Boys Are So Back

    Guys, it is banger show after banger movie after banger album release, and I am obsessed. If you haven’t already heard, My Life with the Walter Boys just released their official date for season two. I feel like I have been waiting forever—it’s been almost two years. The agony of knowing a show is filming…

  • Episode Review: The Buccaneers Season 2, Episode 3- “Get Her Out”

    Okay I have many, many thoughts about Episode Three of The Buccaneers, Season Two. Sitting with the episode last night and reading the title, it hits harder the longer you sit with it. I honestly did not see Nan telling Theo not only that she was with Guy the night before their wedding, but that…

  • Episode Review: The Buccaneers Season 2, Episode 2- “Holy Grail”

    “What letter, Diana, what letter?”That is what I felt watching this episode of The Buccaneers. My GuyNan heart is once again dying because of a letter that is read and hidden from Nan—but only this time, IT IS BURNT. Oh Buccaneers, you chaotic, corset-laced fever dream. I definitely knew that we were going to get…

  • “Burning Red & Golden Daylight: We’re So Back and Belly Knows It Too”

    Reviewing the official Season 3 trailer of The Summer I Turned Pretty All I can say is that we’re so back.I mean, I knew we were back the second Belly was seen wearing red and “Daylight” and “Red” were used in the teaser trailer—and now the official one? I absolutely love you, Jenny Han, you…

  • The Messy Middle of Healing

    I used to think healing was simple. You hit a low, you pick yourself up, and you keep going—step by step, like climbing a staircase. That’s how TikTok and every self-help book made it sound: do the work, and things get better. But healing isn’t a straight line. It’s not always forward. Sometimes it feels…

  • Episode Review: 9-1-1 Season 8, Episode 18 – “Seismic Shifts”

    Let me just start off by saying although we got no indication at all that Buddie is going canon, there were gayzing looks. First of all, I feel like this entire episode was rushed. Like, forgive me, but 911 writers what happened to hello, how are you? I quite literally cannot gather my thoughts. Buddie,…

  • Graduating College Feels Like the End of Booksmart

    The Airport Goodbye I keep thinking about that scene at the end of Booksmart, the one where Molly and Amy say goodbye at the airport. It feels kind of rushed and messy and unexpectedly emotional. Amy is leaving and Molly is staying, and their whole high school chapter is coming to a close—and neither of…
