TGIF Date Night

6/11/2021

      This one is for my Cheugs (and my millennials who are in denial about being cheugy)! 
So, will rest of you just leave so we can reminisce about the 90s without your judgement? 
Now that it’s just us, let’s talk about the legendary Friday night line up on ABC, also known as TGIF! It has come to my attention that a few years ago, Hulu brought back a ton of TGIF shows to stream. Some of them have moved to different streaming services so I tracked them down. 
    What for you might ask? Well for a TGIF themed Date Night! (or an Alone Night, or a Friend Night.) I’ve compiled a list of some of the popular sitcoms from the peak time of TGIF and listed the places you can stream them. I’ve come up with some snack options and even offer you an authentic TGIF line up from 1997.
TGIF Date Night
Shows & Where to Stream Them
Boy Meets World - Disney Plus
Dinosaurs - Disney Plus
Family Matters - Hulu
Full House - Hulu
Hangin’ With Mr Cooper - Hulu 
Perfect Strangers - Hulu 
Sabrina - Hulu / Paramount 
Sister, Sister - Hulu / Paramount / Amazon Prime
Step by Step - Hulu
Two of a Kind - Couldn't find it anywhere! (if anyone can tell me where to watch MK&A anything let me know)
Boy Meets World Title Card
Dinosaurs Title Card
Family Matters Title Card
     I apologize now if you aren't subscribed to Hulu because this post seems like a tease. But you can still create a two hour block if you have the other streaming services, though! (if you don't have any of these streaming site, check YouTube. There's a lot of TGIF content)
     Tonight isn't about being accurate, it's about the vibes. I'm literally wearing a scrunchie
while writing this (I'm also watching Sabrina.) Have fun with it! If you don't like Family Matters, you can swap it with another show! You can watch 4 episodes of Boy Meets World for all I care! However, if you're wanting a true blue line up, the one from Spring of 1997 is below. I've also come up with my ideal TGIF line up.  

Line Up - 1997 Spring
Family Matters
Boy Meets World
Sabrina 
Step By Step

Emma’s Ideal Line Up
Sister, Sister
Boy Meet World
Hangin With Mr Cooper
Sabrina the Teenage Witch
Full House Title Card
Hangin With Mr. Cooper Title Card
Perfect Strangers
Snacks
    A night watching TGIF reminds me of pizza, potato chips, and soda. But this is date night, so we have to class it up a bit. Might I suggest a 90s themed charcuterie board. Hear me out, what is a charcuterie board if it’s not just a grown up lunchable? Here are some suggestions.

Meats & Cheeses
  • Pizza Rolls or Bagel Bites (there are two kinds of people in this world)
  • Cut up some Slim Jims 
  • Slices of Bolognas 
  • Single Pepperonis 
  • Kraft Singles cut into the shape of those Limited Too flowers.
Chips / Crackers
  • Cheetos Puff (bonus if you can actually find Planters Cheez Balls) 
  • Doritos - Has to be Nacho Cheese Flavor
  • Bugles (if you can find any)
  • Pringles 
  • Graham Crackers
Dips
  • Dunkaroo Dip (all you need is a box of Funfetti Cake Mix, Vanilla Yogurt, Cool Whip, and Sprinkles)
  • Velveeta Cheese
  • Ranch Dip
Sweets 
  • Gushers 
  • Oreos
  • M&Ms - Toss Out The Blue Ones (they weren't around until 95)
Drinks 
  • Zima
  • Mike’s Hard Lemonade
  • A Kool-Aid Spritzer
  • Good Old Fashioned Water (because you’re in your 30s and all this food is going to make you sick)
Sabrina the Teenage Witch Title Card
Sister, Sister Title Card
Step by Step Title Card
     I hope you have a super fun date night! Maybe even bump some Britney Spears while getting everything together. Let me know in the comments below what your ideal line up would be! And let me see pictures of your adult lunchable set ups!

I Watched Scream for the First Time and I Have Some Thoughts…

I Watched Scream for the First Time and I Have Some Thoughts…
     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. 

Drew Barrymore Scream
DIMENSION FILMS
Drew Barrymore Scream
DIMENSION FILMS
• 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
Neve Campbell Scream
DIMENSION FILMS
Skeet Ulrich
DIMENSION FILMS
• 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.
Scream Screenshot
DIMENSION FILMS
Teens from Scream
DIMENSION FILMS
• 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?
Prescott's House Scream
DIMENSION FILMS
• 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!
Police Station Scream
DIMENSION FILMS
Slumber Party 90s Movie
DIMENSION FILMS
• “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?

DIMENSION FILMS
• 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?

Gale and Dewy Meet Scream
DIMENSION FILMS
Freddy Janitor Scream
DIMENSION FILMS
• 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.
Stu Scream
DIMENSION FILMS
• 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?

Scream House Party
DIMENSION FILMS
• 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.
Billy and Sidney Scream
DIMENSION FILMS
Gale and Dewy Scream
DIMENSION FILMS
Horror Film Rules Scream
DIMENSION FILMS
• 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
Billy Dying Scream
DIMENSION FILMS
• 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!
Jamie and Jamie Scream
DIMENSION FILMS
Scream Ending
DIMENSION FILMS
• 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!

7 Spooky TV Series You Can Stream Right Now

10/8/2020

0 Comments

 
Blog Greeting
     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 Twilight Zone Title Card
CBS PRODUCTIONS
    The OG spooky show. Just the opening theme will give you goosebumps. Each episode is a stand-alone story where the characters find themselves dealing with strange happenings. Some episodes are thinkers, and some will keep you up all night. And if black and white shows aren’t your thing, there’s a revamped version on CBS All Access that will definitely mess with your mind.

​The Haunting of Hill House - Netflix

     A mix of suspense and mystery. The show is about a family who move into a very haunted Hill House. The story of their time at Hill House is told through flashbacks as you learn about how living in the house has affected the family in present day. You’ll end up watching all 10 episodes in one day.
     Bonus - The follow up season called, The Haunting of Bly Manor comes out October 9th!
The Haunting of Hill House Title Card
NETFLIX

​X-Files - Hulu

The XFiles Title Card
20th TELEVISION
     The Truth is Out There! A show about two FBI Special Agents tasked to crack some very freaky cases. It leans more towards science fiction than gore or horror, but it’s so scary that I couldn’t be in the same room while my dad was watching it.

​Ratched - Netflix

     One of the newer spooky shows everyone is talking about. Set in 1947, the series is meant to be an origin story of Nurse Mildred Ratched from the book, One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest. The sets are super beautiful, and the cast is pretty stacked. You find yourself rooting for Nurse Ratched even though she’s up to some not so good things.
Ratched Title Card
NETFLIX

​Black Mirror - Netflix

Black Mirror Title Card
NETFLIX
     Often compared to The Twilight Zone, but so much worse (in a good way!). Black Mirror is also an anthology series, but leans more on modern anxieties, and near future technology. It will leave you questioning everything. There’s even an episode with Miley Cyrus! And don’t forget about the interactive movie!

​The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina - Netflix

     If you’re into teen dramas AND spooky television, then this is the show for you. You’ve never seen Sabrina Spellman like this before! So much witchcraft, so much evil, and so many beautiful sets. The show was canceled after only two season, so it ends on sort of a cliffhanger, but it’s absolutely worth your time.
Chilling Adventures of Sabrina Title Card
NETFLIX

The Simpson’s Treehouse of Horror - Disney+

The Simpsons Tree House of Horror Title Card
20th TELEVISION
     Can you believe there are 30 (soon to be 31 on October 18) Treehouse of Horrors?  That’s more episodes than some of the mentioned series above. The Simpsons aren’t for everyone, but the Treehouse of Horror episodes are one offs. Each episode has three separate segments, and are usually parodies of well-known movies, books, or other TV shows.

5 Movies to Get You in the Fall Mood.

Blog Post Greeting
     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.

Columbia Pictures

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?
Remember the Titans Movie
Buena Vista Pictures

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.
St. Elmo's Fire Movie Brat Pack
Columbia Pictures

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.
When Harry Met Sally Autumn Feels
Columbia Pictures

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.)

The Samuel Goldwyn Company

Honorable Mentioned

Legally 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.

MGM

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.

16,153 Minutes of Quarantelevision.

     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!

Netflix

Picture
American Vandal 
2 Seasons • 8 HOURS & 48 MINUTES 

   SO GOOD. It’s the best mockumentary of the True Crime trend. 
 • 1000/100 would recommend.

Tiger King
7 Episode • 5 HOURS & 17 MINUTES

  I don’t even need to say it but, yeah, Carole Baskin obviously killed her husband. 
• I, 1000% recommend. (I actually watched it twice, and the After Show, and dozens of youtube videos called, "The Stuff Tiger King Didn't Show You".)
Picture

Picture
Community
6 Seasons • 2 DAYS & 13 HOURS

   It was so good for so many seasons, and then it got weird, too weird. 
• If you like 30 Rock, you’ll like community.

Living With Yourself 
8 Episodes • 3 HOURS & 35 MINUTES 

  I watched this series in one night early into the quarantine, and I hardly remember it. But who doesn’t love Paul Rudd?!
• Yeah, sure, I’d recommend it.
Picture

Picture
Riverdale
​4 Seasons • 3 DAYS 

(I hate to admit it, but this is the second time I’ve watched Riverdale. DON'T JUDGE ME!)
  
This show is totally nuts, and I’m shocked I could keep up. 
• I recommend if you like trashy teen series. It tops them all.

Space Force
10 Episodes • 5 HOURS & 24 MINUTES

    It’s always strange to see Steve Carell not as Michael Scott, but he still made me laugh out loud in Space Force. The cast is great and the plot is hilarious. 
• Would recommend if you like comedy.
Picture

Picture
100 Humans 
8 Episodes • 4 HOURS & 49 MINUTES

 100 Humans was fun, and sort of educational. It did confirm that women are better than men though, so that was cool.
• Would recommend if you like Buzzfeed articles.

ESPN

The Last Dance 
10 Episodes • 10 HOURS

   Great, wonderful, inspirational, it made me miss the 90s. But honestly, thank goodness I lived through most of it, because when it comes to jumping around on the timeline, the limit does not exist. 
• Would recommend just on the nostalgia factor alone.
Picture

Nat Geo

Picture
The 80s - The Decade That Made Us 
6 Episodes • 6 HOURS

   I’m only adding this one in because I caught the first one playing on TV, and then didn’t get up for another 5 hours to watch the rest. That’s what this blog post is all about, my shameless pursuit to become the first person to have their brain turn into actual mush from watching too much television.  
• Absolutely would recommend. Rob Lowe is so pleasant. 

Hulu

Scrubs
​9 Seasons • 3 DAYS & 19 HOURS
   Oh, Scrubs. You were SO good for so long, and then it got weird. 
• I recommend the first 6 seasons.
Picture

HBO

Picture
Avenue 5 
1 Season - 2 HOURS & 25 MINUTES 
 Gilligan’s Island mixed with Walle. This show made me laugh out loud every episode. I can’t wait for more. IRIS!
• 10/10 would recommend.

McMillions 
6 Episodes • 6 HOURS

  I’m SO glad there is a show about this, because I had no idea that it had happened. I’m still shook. 
• 10/10 would recommend.
Picture

Picture
The Righteous Gemstones
9 Episodes • 5 HOURS & 55 MINUTES
 On top of all the TV I was already watching, I decided to rewatch all 9 episodes of The Righteous Gemstones. That should tell you how good it is. 
• 1000/10 would recommend.

Entourage 
4 Seasons • 1 Day (I'm only halfway)
  It’s a pop culture staple, right? I’m only halfway through, and I’m not loving it. There is not one person on that show I like except maybe Lloyd
• I can’t decide yet if I would recommend. I have to see the movie first.
Picture

     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!
