I'm not sure how, but I made it out of the 90's without ever seeing Scream. Since this week is Halloween I thought I would give it a watch and take you along for the ride. • Don't judge me but, I didn’t know until this year that Drew Barrymore was in this movie. • So is this where the, “Do you like scary movies?” thing originally came from? I only ever saw it parodied! • No joke, I just got a call from an unknown number!!! Maybe I should turn the lights on! • She’s JUST now locking the doors? Amateur move! And stop answering the phone! • Oh no! He got the boyfriend! This was really well thought out! This is my nightmare! • Geez, way to spoil who the killer is in Friday the 13th! • Her parents finding her hanging from the tree gave me a lump in my throat. This is going to be a rollercoaster • Sidney Prescott looks exactly like the 90's. • Where my Riverdale fans at? I had no idea Jughead's dad was in this movie. He looks good! • Wait! Ugh, why men great till they gotta be great? Stop pressuring her! Her dad was literally just in there. • Fonzie is the principle?! Fonzie is in this? • They are talking SO calmly about these murders. • Shaggy from the Scooby Doo Movies and Jamie Kennedy (right?) are in this, too? I had no idea. • Oh, yikes Shaggy is kind of a creep and Jamie Kennedy is the classic 90s nerd. He'll get killed first right? • The Prescott’s have an amazing house. • Oh no! That’s how her mother died?! That’s terrible! Okay, so we got a serial killer on our hands, noted. • Don’t go to the video store first, Tatum! Pick up Sidney! There’s a killer on the loose! Tom Cruise’s peep can wait! • Okay, here we go, the phone is ringing again. Why doesn't anyone own any blinds or curtains?! • Yup, I'm scared. • Of course, because she mentions horror movies where they run up the stairs instead of out the door, she ends up running up the stairs instead of out the door! Idiot! • She called 911 on her computer? Could you do that in the 90s? Could I do that now? • *Gasps* Billy? • She’s so convinced Billy is the Killer she’s willing to run back through the house? No thanks! • “Let me ask you this, what are you doing with a cellular telephone, son?” What a time to be alive! • Okay, this detective work is so WEAK! I'm stressed. • That yellow power suit Courtney Cox has on is no good. Oh, and she plays the bad guy? • Tatum just said Billy was destined to have a flaw. A FLAW? He might be a serial KILLER! • Oh no the phone is ringing! So it can't be Billy, right? • I’m just gonna say it, Sidney shouldn’t have to go to school today. Last night was a lot! • Sidney and Gale’s conversation leaves me with so many questions. If they murders were all linked wouldn't Sidney have seen Cotton in the costume, and not a jacket? • Billy is back at school, too? And is he for real? He may not be a killer, but he’s a real jerk. • Whoa, is Principle Fonzie The Killer? These knife sound effects are freaking me out! • Why are Cheerleaders always so mean in the movies? • SERIOUSLY? The Killer is in the bathroom, too? Or was that a prank? • They canceled school? Isn't that supposed to be the safest place? • Is this where Courtney Cox and David Arquette met? • It’s not a 90s Movie without a party! What an awful time to throw a party. How insensitive! • “It could be fun” are famous last words! • The janitor is dressed like Freddy Krueger, right? • NOOO! Not Principal Fonzie! I should have never accused him! Once you accuse someone they always end up dying! This one hurt. • Lol at the Richard Gere and the gerbil reference. But really, is it true or not? • A video store! *heart eyes emoji” • Shaggy/Stu has little teeth. You can’t trust people with little teeth. That’s actually rule #1. • I’m enjoying the “If this were a scary movie…” bit. (It’s making that scary episode of Boy Meets World make so much more sense to me.) • LIKE NO ONE SEES THE KILLER IN THE GROCERY STORE FOLLOWING SIDNEY?! • The calls came from her dad? Is The Killer her dad? Did I just seal his fate? • How embarrassing would it be to get dropped off at a party in a cop car? • Gale Weathers is SCUM. Leave Sidney alone! • Oh no, Tatum is alone. Why does everyone assume it’s Randy playing a prank? Oof The Killer got her! That kill had Final Destination vibes. • Boo, go home Billy! • Okay, I'm hating the Sidney and Billy stuff (you're better than that, girl), but I'm loving Randy's Horror Film Rules.. • This must be why people like this movie so much. It’s not taking itself too serious, but it’s still pretty scary! • Dewy and Gale, sittin’ in a ditch, K-I-S-S-I-N-G • SEE YA NEVER BILLY! • Billy wins for most dramatics death scene. • Jump, Sidney, jump! Run, Sidney, run! • Where's Dewy? Like, you had one job! • Randy accidentally describing his own almost murder is funny, but also so suspenseful! • No the delay, the delay! Oh my gosh, he killed Kenny! • Gale crashing the van makes me so mad! You ruin everything! • NO, NOT DEWY • Randy vs. Stu! It’s definitely Stu, right? • Billy’s alive?! I don't like this, not one bit! • WAIT. It was Billy??? AND Stu??? - Please actually be lovers! • So many Sharon Stone references? • Okay, at least the dad is sill alive!! • I’m supposed to be laughing at Stu, right? I can't take him serious! • Alright, Sidney turning the tables! But how did she have the time to untie her dad, grab the phone and voice changer, put on the costume, and hide? • They just keep popping back up! When will they die?! • Okay, okay, Gale Weathers is not total scum. After watching the whole movie, I'm left with so many questions I can only hope the next 4 sequels will answer. I hope you all have a safe and fun Halloween! Be sure to go out and vote!

We’re settling into the second week of October, so naturally it’s time to binge watch some spooky TV shows. I hope you have nothing to do this weekend because I’ve put together a list of some great ones that you can stream right now. The Twilight Zone - Netflix / CBS All Access
The Haunting of Hill House - Netflix
X-Files - HuluRatched - Netflix
Black Mirror - Netflix
The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina - Netflix
The Simpson’s Treehouse of Horror - Disney+
It may not technically be fall yet, but it's never too early to get into the cozy SZN mood. I asked you guys earlier this week what movies give you all those ~Fall Feels~, so let's dive right in! 1. Stepmom - 1998 Julia Roberts tries to be stepmom to Susan Sarandon's kids. A little bit of a tear jerker, but you can’t miss out on the fall foliage. It’s breathtaking. 2. Remember the Titans - 2000 Based on the true story of the integration of T.C. Williams High School and their football team. Who doesn’t love a good underdog story? 3. St. Elmo's Fire - 1985 People really sleep on this movie! A coming-of-age story about 7 friends trying to figure out the real world after graduating from Georgetown University. It will make you want to wear baggy sweaters, and be in the Brat Pack. When Harry Met Sally... - 1989 THE ultimate Rom-Com. Set in New York, Harry and Sally find out if men and women can really just be friends. SPOILER ALERT! No, just kidding, I won’t spoil it for you. 5. Mystic Pizza - 1988 A sweet story set in Mystic, Connecticut about 2 sisters, their best friend, and a pizza place. Rotten Tomatoes describes it as this, “Mystic Pizza is like its namesake food: it's cheesy, topped with romance, and rises to the occasion.” (Also, if anyone can tell me how to download that song that's playing during the pool scene, that'd be great.) Honorable MentionedLegally Blonde - 2001 Yes, the beginning of the movie has Reese Witherspoon floating in a pool wearing a bikini, but the rest of the movie takes place in autumn at Harvard, and it’s gorgeous. Dead Poet's Society - 1989 Almost TOO sad to even suggest, but how can you resist autumn in Vermont? Even the movie poster has beautiful fall foliage. Did your favorite cozy time movie make the list? Let me know in the comments.
I'm posting this clip from The Sandlot simply because it makes me feel good. July 4th feels different this year. July 4th is different this year. The country is going through, and growing through something. You're a mess, but you're my mess. Happy Birthday America Since March 24th, the people of my city have been ordered to Stay Home. At the time, I didn’t know what that would mean for the city, or for the people. What I also didn’t know, was that I would end up watching 13 entire television series. THIRTEEN. That’s sixteen thousand, one hundred fifty three minutes of television. That adds up to 11 days. I’ve "Stayed Home" for 80 days, and 11 of them were JUST spent on television. That number only includes the shows I watched from start to finish. It doesn’t include the countless hours of News I've watched, or the all The Office mini marathons I've had (I'm watching The Office right now as I make this post). When I first had the idea for this post I thought it would be fun to write a review for each show, but then I did the math. After counting up the minutes, and realizing I spent 11 days watching television, (3 of those days are JUST Riverdale!!) I realized I’ve wasted A LOT of my time. So, instead of giving you a well thought out review, I’m just going to give you a sentence each. If you’ve seen any of these shows, give me your one sentence review in the comments!

HuluHBO Before I go, I just wanted to say thank you for reading this post. If you have any recommendations for other good shows, let me know!
Please be safe out there and please just do your best for the human race! It’s been almost a month since I last posted. I don’t have any excuses other than lack of inspiration, strike that, it's because of laziness. It’s an incredibly strange time. I could pop on here to write about how we need to stay positive, stay home, and wash our hands. Which is absolutely true, but you don’t need to hear that from me. I’m here to provide you with a little bit of entertainment. To take you away from the news, and out of your head for 20 minutes or so. So let’s get into it. For this post I am going to rewatch A Goofy Movie as an adult and I’m going to live blog it. I’d live tweet it, but I think know I’m going to have a lot of thoughts. A brief history on me and A Goofy Movie. I can vividly remember watching it for the first time. I was at daycare, and I must have been about 4 or 5 years old. When my mom picked me up I remember telling her how funny it was, and I was BEGGING her to buy me a copy of it. Being the perfect angel mother she is, she did. I picked A Goofy Movie for this for a couple of reasons. One being that I haven’t watched it in quite some time, and even though it’s a kids movie I think I can get through the whole thing without thinking it’s totally stupid. Also, thanks to Buzzfeed, article here, I learned that last week marked 25 years since it’s release! Feeling old? Me too. Here we go! • Okay, I still get a little excited to see the Disney title screen and hear the “woo wooo woo woo woo”. You know the sound I'm talking about, right? • Oh man, I’m feeling the feels seeing the wheat field. • I thought stuff like sitting on a tall pillar in the middle of a field of wheat was something all teenagers did. • I wanted to be Roxanne SO bad. The mole, the hair, the long shorts! • Wait, why doesn’t Roxanne wear gloves? • Oh it just got scary. That’s right, he turns into his dad! Shoes rip open, but gloves stay in tack? • After he fully transforms and does the AHYUCK and chuckle I knew, even at 7 years old, that I would grow up to be a Goofy and not a Roxanne. • So, Max sleeps in no shirt, but still has the gloves. • The part where he hits the alarm clock and the time changes gave me trust issues. • Okay, as an adult I feel for Goofy during this part. Especially since he’s in a towel, with another towel wrapped around his head, holding a vacuum. • Oh no! Goofy looks so upset for ruining the Powerline cardboard cut out! • JUST BE NICE TO YOUR DAD, MAX! (can you tell I’m missing my parents?) • Max calls Powerline a Rockstar. Is that what we thought rockstars were in the 90s? Would that make Usher a rockstar? • Okay, now I’m googling Xavier Cugat, the Mambo King. He’s real! • OH SNAP IT’S TIME FOR THE OPENING NUMBER! • Okay, most of the characters are wearing the gloves, but some aren’t. What are the rules for the gloves? • Because of this I thought twins were only allowed to date twins. I feel like I learned a lot of false lessons about the world from this movie. • There was a heated debate in my house about the lyric, “I’m gonna sit on my butt”. I swore up and down that he says BUS instead of BUTT. I fought with my siblings about it because I really didn’t feel right about singing the word, “Butt”. • Now I’m remember that I used to pretend I was Max during this number and act out all of his moves in my living room. • When the song ended I always made sure to stop dancing/being Max so I could look at the TV. Chad, The “hot” guy does this this thing where he laughs and thrusts his hips forward. I NEVER WANTED TO MISS THAT PART. Looking back, that definitely awoken something in me. • Also, this must be the point in the movie where Mom would bring me a PB&J because I’m suddenly craving one. • I never liked PJ. I still don’t. Stop whining and be a good friend! • Bobby using a straw at the water fountain is iconic. Ahhoooo CHEDDAR WHIZZZY. Wait, is the cheese whiz supposed to symbolize pot? • Okay, assembly time. • YO STACY! TALK TO ME, TALK TO ME, TALK TO ME, BABY! I repeated that phrase like a parrot. I’m sure it annoyed everyone in the house. • Principal Mazur still sucks! • WTH? is Bobby welding? • Come on PJ! Quit trying to wuss out! Bobby is back there throwing actual flames and you’re scared to get in trouble? • IT’S HAPPENING! I’m genuinely excited to see this part. I literally just got up to dance. • It’s 2020 and I still don’t know how they pulled this off. • This song is such a bop. I sang it at karaoke a few months ago. • All of Bobby’s commentary is gold. • I think very shortly after I watched this movie I started kissing boys. I blame it on the way Max does that little walk towards Roxanne from the stage. My first ever boyfriend went to the same daycare. His name was Nick, he had red curly hair, and still sucked his thumb. • Wait, someone just called Max the Goof kid. Is Max’s last name Goof? Is Goofy’s name Goofy Goof??? I just googled it. Full name - G.G. “Goofy” Goof. The more you know…. • Goofy trying to get that child to smile still makes laugh like an idiot. He swallowed the squeaker! • Hyper Girl’s hair bow is GOALS. • I never realized what a total jerk Pete is. Is he supposed to be a wolf? Just googled it. He’s a cat. • This is is flawlessly directed. It deserves an Oscar. • Okay, back to Max and the guys waiting in the Principal’s Office. • YAAASSSS - It’s the Leaning Tower of Cheese-a!!!!!! I bet I can make one. • I take back what I said about PJ. His dad is a jerk and he might actually squish him like a bug. • Enter Roxanne and Stacy. • Note that neither of them wear the gloves. • As an adult, I think Stacy is super cool. Don’t come at me. • Alright, plot point set! Max asked Roxanne to go with him to Stacy’s party. • Does Powerline not go on tour? Just concerts in LA shown via pay-per-view? Remember when you had to call to order pay-per-view? Did you also think it was called Paper View like I did? • EVERYBODY MAMBO! I used to yell that a lot too. • “Dance with her! Groove with her!” There needs to be more Bobby in this movie. • Okay, the phone conversation between Goofy and Principal Mazur hits different as an adult. • Goofy is SO worried about Max. I don’t think I ever really listen to what Mazur says, but he’s absolutely over exaggerating. The electric chair?! Are you kidding me? No wonder Goofy is so stressed! • I think I’m gonna call my dad after this. • I relate to the over packing that’s happening in this scene. • Sick Donald Duck reference. • Goofy is literally breaking my heart. Is this how the entire movie is going to be? Me yelling at my screen for Max to be sweet to Goofy? • Roxanne’s dad doesn’t wear gloves. Or pants. • I thought it was so romantic that Max helped Roxanne up on to the railing and I still do. • How come in movies no one can fully explain their situation? • I remember as a kid not fully understanding that he was lying to her about going to the concert. • Seeing neither of them wearing seatbelts makes me a little anxious. • Sick Walt Disney Reference. • Oh no the High Hopes song. It’s going to be stuck in my head all night! • Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck cameo! • The Nuns! We see them again, right? • OH MY GOSH LESTER’S POSSUM PARK! • I lied, THIS song is going to be stuck in my head all night. • The possum stuff is terrifying. • Goofy is so pure. Teenagers are so mean! He just wants to make memories with you, Max! • Okay, Pete’s RV is still super dope. He’s the worst, but he’s got the right idea about camping. • I used to think that PJ’s dust rag was a tail. • I tried to talk my brother into learning Max and PJs handshake with me. It was a no go. • But I did learn Pete’s little victory dance and chant and took it on as my own. • THE PERFECT CAST! Yea, you guessed it, I also know the perfect cast. • I LOVED the Big Foot stuff and I still do! • I used to run into my parents room to tell them it was almost Big Foot time. • The Stayin’ Alive bit still holds up. • Hi Dad Soup is something we still say in my family. • So is the question, how many cups does it take to get to the moon. • Oh the map... • I didn’t understand this part when I was a kid. Max didn’t know Goofy was going to let him be in charge of the map at this point in the movie. Did he think Goofy wasn't going to notice the change? • Even though I didn't fully get what was going on, the music and the fast cuts made my little heart pound. • That short stack looks DELICIOUS. • The Nuns! I knew we saw them again. Oh, and Elvis! • Okay so he finally hands over the map to Max and says he gets to pick all the stops. How is Max supposed to know all the cool places to stop without a smart phone? • Montage time! • The Nuns again at the monster truck show! • Goofy only getting excited about the yarn house is precious, just freaking precious. • The mime bit still cracks me up. • Their room at The Neptune Inn is still so cool. • Is the RV cord supposed to be squirting water like that? I still don’t know. • But what I do know is is that pizza still looks SO cheesy and SO good. • Honestly, as a kid I needed the Pete and Pj scenes to literally spell the plot out to me. Not because it was hard to follow, but because I was dumb. • Goofy is giving me major Ned Flanders vibes in this scene. • Pete and Goofy are still wearing the gloves in the hot tub. • Oh no, the junction scene. I used to think he said Arjunction. • This part hits differently as an adult. It’s the moment Goofy knows for certain his kid is a twerp. I always wondered why Goofy didn’t just go the right way. • Oh, now they wear seatbelts! • Still one of my biggest fears is leaning against a car and having it roll down a hill. • Them yelling at each other is making me sad. • I remember thinking that for a movie about two boys there sure was a lot of singing. • This used to be a fast forward song, but now I’ve got a lump in my throat. • The waterfall part is SCARY! I know what happens and I’m still on the edge of my seat! • My brother can still do a flawless impression of Goofy saying, “The Perfect Cast” at that moment. • Powerline is an absolute ICON. • I honestly thought you could sneak into any concert by hiding in the equipment. I was certain at some point in my life I would do that. • This song is on my iPod. Obviously so is Stand Out. • Oh my gosh I forgot about the love connection between Stacy and Bobby over the cheese whiz can. I SHIP IT. • No WAY that car would drive all the way back across America. • Dang Roxanne! Keep it in your pants! • When the car exploded I literally LOL’d. • Goofy must be saved at all costs. That's it! Movie's over! It's definitely still just a kids movie, but thoroughly enjoyed it. Thanks for sort of watching it with me!
I hope you're staying safe and staying sane. Thank you to all the essential workers and health heroes. |
