Trevor Noah sings about the 'forgotten man'

Trevor Noah sings about the ‘forgotten man’

Trevor Noah sings about the forgotten men and women that 45 is always talking about. And what else Trump has not forgotten. It’s worth watching through the advert to be able to watch the song. This is #TrumpCountry.   http://on.cc.com/2m83iQP

Episode 37: Girls Just Wanna Have Sun

Episode 37: Girls Just Wanna Have Sun

HBO’s Girls comes back for their final season. It’s an accomplishment for Lena Dunham, the relative nobody who has launched a hundred careers as well as a weekly newsletter tacking a variety of issues. This episode focuses heavily on what happened last season and everything up to episode four of the sixth season. We also throw some theories in there about the the end of the series and the plans…

Favorite Shows of 2016

Favorite Shows of 2016

Watching television was rewarding this year. In no particular order, because how can you really rate things like television shows, I give you my list of shows that I really, really enjoyed. Transparent (Amazon) This show breaks down boundaries and challenges feminist concepts so well. It’s a must-see. Fleabag (Amazon) Short, funny, and sad AF. The best combination. Insecure (HBO) This show keeps…

By the Sea

By the Sea was written and directed by Angelina Jolie. The movie follows a couple who are going to vacation in the south of France (which is actually filmed in Malta) and is gorgeous by all accounts. The cliffs, the hotel, the color of the sea, the way that people move and how they are dressed was done very well. It’s actually less of a holiday than an excuse to go somewhere beautiful and write a…

Insecure and High Maintenance (HBO)

Insecure and High Maintenance (HBO)

HBO is doing a lot of things right now. They’re winding down Game of Thrones, revving up Westworld (poised to take the place of GoT), and have purchased High Maintenance and The Misadventures of Awkward Black Girl… kind of. High Maintenance is now a 30 minute television show and The Misadventures of Awkward Black Girl has turned into Insecure. They canceled Vinyl (thank god) and have strong…

Really Seeing Adele

I had the wondrous fortune to go with friends to see Adele last month. It was a life changing experience. Not just because we had Max Brenner beforehand. She’s the most down-to-earth performer I’ve ever seen, which is tremendous to say considering she has an Oscar and doesn’t need to be the way she is. She could be a total mess and people would still pay to see her. What draws people is her…

"Either I'm a psychopath in sheep's clothing or I am you." - Amanda Knox

“Either I’m a psychopath in sheep’s clothing or I am you.” – Amanda Knox

Following the success of Making a Murderer and the podcast Serial, true crime has exploded. This year saw the resurgence of the O.J. Simpson trial being a thing and we all evaluated whether the 90s were really as bad/good as we remembered. Hint: they were bad. So, then we go into Amanda Knox circa 2007, a student from Seattle, Wa., who is studying in Italy and living with a British exchange…
