Katie's All Right #15: Run the Blades
Hey friends!
I don't know about you, but I'm not feeling great about it getting dark at 5 p.m.! At least the leftover Halloween candy will take the edge off for a bit. I accidentally-on-purpose bought a 55-pack of assorted Reese's products on clearance, which will either last me three days or until it's time for sale Easter candy. Send help.
Watch
Great British Bake Off has clearly taken a downturn in its new format, but what was that final? I'm convinced that Paul, Prue, and Sandi made [spoiler] cry on purpose during the showstopper.
Jojo Rabbit!! Did Stephen Merchant walk so that Cousin Greg could run?
Plus One is now on Hulu, and it really cements Maya Erskine's star power after PEN15. She's so great at being unapologetically bratty, I love it. Also, I gotta say that the musical stylings of Real Estate finally make way more sense to me in the context of soundtracking a chill indie comedy.
I blew through the new batch of BoJack Horseman episodes so quickly that I almost neglected to mention them. It's hard to call whether that or Succession is the more blistering indictment of the current media landscape!
Listen
French disco artist Jean Tonique has left the club on sunny side up, but he's still bringing the bops.
Anyone else feeling the urge to get really back into Major Lazer's Guns Don't Kill People...Lazers Do? Just me? I used to listen to it first thing in the morning every day. Yes, I am also questioning this life choice.
