Here's what we're reading, recommending, and revisiting this week. Catherine's library find is a follow-up to the Grammar Zoo series from a few weeks ago.

Mentioned: Terri's current read/listen, Shakespeare: The Man Who Pays the Rent by …

On Wednesdays, we share our thoughts on a newer entertainment property. Currently, that's Only Murders in the Building. This week's episode gave us a deeper dive into the real (?) story of the Westies and how they formed their tight-knit, card-playing, ham-eating group. We also finally met Helga, the voice on the ham radio, and realized that Mabel …

Each Tuesday, we discuss an older entertainment property, and currently, that's Lost. This week's episode was rather violent, with a death toll of two on the island and some crime and vomiting in the flashbacks. But at least Claire's back (and conveniently has no memory of the past month). Next Tuesday, we'll discuss season 1, episode 16, "Outlaws.…

Here's what we're reading, recommending, and revisiting this week. Catherine's library find is a lighthearted, yet not overly fluffy novel with a reality-TV hook. It's called Big in Sweden, and author Sally Franson really did compete on a TV show in Sweden. Mentioned: Demon Copperhead by Barbara Kingsolver. ​ Terri's random recommendation is on hia…

On Wednesdays, we share our thoughts on a newer entertainment property. Currently, that's Only Murders in the Building. Terri felt personally attacked by this episode, as it flaunted the plot holes of her beloved season 1 right in her face. We also identified some from season 2 having to do with Charles's parents and much younger sister, played by …

Each Tuesday, we discuss an older entertainment property, and currently, that's Lost. This week's episode gave us more of Michael and Walt's story, so now we know that while Michael isn't the greatest dad around, he did make a big sacrifice for his son. (Plus, we have another candidate for the Bad Dad Hall of Fame.) Next Tuesday, we'll discuss seas…

On Wednesdays, we share our thoughts on a newer entertainment property. Currently, that's Only Murders in the Building. While this episode wasn't as novel and creative as season 1's "The Boy From 6B," it did offer a new take by relying a lot on found footage from hidden cameras. As parents who want to keep abreast of what our kids are up to, we can…

Each Tuesday, we discuss an older entertainment property, and currently, that's Lost.

Here's what we're reading, recommending, and revisiting this week. Catherine's library find is another nonfiction, memoir-ish pick called All the Beauty in the World: The Metropolitan Museum of Art and Me by Patrick Bringley, which chronicles the author's ten-year stint as a guard at the museum. Mentioned: From the Mixed-Up Files of Mrs. Basil E. F…

On Wednesdays, we share our thoughts on a newer entertainment property. Currently, that's Only Murders in the Building. This season isn't hitting as well as past ones have, except when Detective Williams comes in to be the mom and lay down the law. We'd like more of that and less of Hollywood making fun of itself. Next week, we’ll discuss S4 E6 of …

Each Tuesday, we discuss an older entertainment property, and currently, that's Lost. This episode's punny title is a sign that it's a pretty lightweight one, despite the presence of three dead and decomposing bodies. It's a Kate flashback episode, and she flashes a lot of her backside, too. Next Tuesday, we'll discuss season 1, episode 13, "Hearts…
  continue reading
 
Here's what we're reading, recommending, and revisiting this week. Catherine's library find grabbed her attention with its dramatic subtitle. It's a memoir by Megan Nix called Remedies for Sorrow: An Extraordinary Child, A Secret Kept from Pregnant Women, and a Mother's Pursuit of the Truth, which is a compelling mix of family tale and investigativ…

On Wednesdays, we share our thoughts on a newer entertainment property. Currently, that's Only Murders in the Building.

Each Tuesday, we discuss an older entertainment property, and currently, that's Lost. This episode has "daddy issues" right in the title, so you know it's going to be a doozy. And it was, with lots of flashbacks to Jack's Bad Dad and some pretty bad stuff happening on mystery island, too. Next Tuesday, we'll discuss season 1, episode 12, "Whatever …

Here's what we're reading, recommending, and revisiting this week. Catherine's library find caught her eye thanks to our recent watch of A Gentleman in Moscow. It's a children's book called The Apartment: A Century of Russian History by Alexandra Litvina, illustrated by Anna Desnitskaya and translated by Antonina W. Bouis. It covers six generations…

On Wednesdays, we share our thoughts on a newer entertainment property. Currently, that's Only Murders in the Building. And while this week's episode was indeed set in The Building, it had a Hollywood flavor that we didn't love. We're hoping the three actors hightail it back to LA very soon. Mentioned: "Which of the Pickwick Triplets Did It?" (from…

Each Tuesday, we discuss an older entertainment property, and currently, that's Lost. On this week's episode, we had a great deal of drama in both the flashbacks (as Claire encountered both a bad dad and a very bossy psychic) and on the island (hold on a minute, this guy's name isn't on the passenger manifest!). Next Tuesday, we'll discuss season 1…

Here's what we're reading, recommending, and revisiting this week. Catherine's library find is a brightly colored, punny way to introduce little ones to the joys of grammar: Comparrotives, which is part of a whole Grammar Zoo. ​ Terri's random recommendation is musical again this week: She's been listening to Post Malone's F-1 Trillion on repeat. I…

On Wednesdays, we share our thoughts on a newer entertainment property. Currently, that's Only Murders in the Building. Episode 2 brought back some old favorites from way back in season 1, as well as another round of Stars Stopping By to Be Suspects.

Each Tuesday, we discuss an older entertainment property, and currently, that's Lost. Terri's re-watching, and Catherine's wading into the madness for the first time.

Here's what we're reading, recommending, and revisiting this week. Catherine's library find is a reminder that libraries are far more than just books.

On Wednesdays (rescheduled from Tuesdays), we share our thoughts on a newer entertainment property. We've sadly come to the end of A Gentleman in Moscow, a limited series on Paramount+.

Here's what we're reading, recommending, and revisiting this week. Catherine's library find is a children's book that maybe scared Terri a little: Little Red and the Big Bad Editor, by Rebecca Kraft Rector with illustrations by Shanda McCloskey. ​ Terri's random recommendation is a follow-up to her movie games rec from last month: A movie game/comm…
  continue reading
 
Each Wednesday, we discuss an older entertainment property, and currently, that's Lost.

Here's what we're reading, recommending, and revisiting this week. Catherine's library find is actually an app that helps her keep track of some of her library finds (and make them Instagram-ready). It's called Bookmory. ​ Terri's random recommendation is more of a PSA: Don't take pity on sweet-looking young people going door to door and invite the…
  continue reading
 
Each Wednesday, we discuss an older entertainment property, and currently, that's Lost. This week, we got another set of flashbacks and another wait, what? revelation, although it was not as shocking as Locke's "this island restored my ability to walk" news.

Each Wednesday, we discuss an older entertainment property, and currently, that's Lost.

Peter Mohrbacher, creator of Angelarium, emphasizes the importance of creating art for yourself rather than trying to please others or meet market expectations.
