So you have to go see the new Star Wars this weekend, and you're in way over your head. Maybe you've recently clarified to your friends, 'oh, this is the one with Chris Pine as Spock, right?' or confidently declared that you love that little ball-robot guy PB8*. *This one courtesy of my daughter, Lucy.

Hulu Recap: The Handmaid’s Tale, Episode 9, “The Bridge”
Warning: Graphic content and general depressing stuff. I am so tired. The episode opens with One-Eyed Batshit Janine handing off her baby to her commander's wife, though it's far from a smooth transaction. Janine is understandably resistant to let her baby go, though after her rapist/baby daddy gives her a reassuring nod, Janine relinquishes her daughter. … Continue reading Hulu Recap: The Handmaid’s Tale, Episode 9, “The Bridge”
Hulu Recap: The Handmaid’s Tale, Episode 8, “Jezebel’s”
Warning: Graphic content and general depressing stuff. This week we're introduced to the shameless hypocrisy of Gilead's misogynistic new world order via Offred's attendance at a swanky 'secret' brothel. She's lucky enough to bag an invite from the creepy Commander Beardface, and we're lucky enough to have trash cans on hand to puke into every time … Continue reading Hulu Recap: The Handmaid’s Tale, Episode 8, “Jezebel’s”

Hulu Recap: The Handmaid’s Tale, Episode 6, “A Woman’s Place”
Before you get all excited, no, Rory's not back, and we don't actually know what her punishment was for the casual, murderous joyride she took the other day. What we do know now is some of Lady Beardface's backstory, hooray! Our favorite character (gag) gets a little more fleshed out. Surprisingly, rounding her out does not … Continue reading Hulu Recap: The Handmaid’s Tale, Episode 6, “A Woman’s Place”
Hulu Recap: The Handmaid’s Tale, Episode 5, “Faithful”
The recurring theme of this episode seems to be how desperate love can make us. Then again, I should probably check myself and not get too fakedeep. As always, this is a recap, so there will be all sorts of spoilers below. First things first, friends: RORY'S BACK! Don't get too excited, though, because after … Continue reading Hulu Recap: The Handmaid’s Tale, Episode 5, “Faithful”
6 Movies I’ve Lied About Seeing and What I Think They’re About
Sometimes I lie. I'm not proud of it, and I should really curb it, but every now and then when people ask me if I've seen a certain movie or read a certain book, I find myself just nodding without thinking while my Loud Mean Self voice says, "What the hell, you huge idiot? You've … Continue reading 6 Movies I’ve Lied About Seeing and What I Think They’re About
