Another one of these… and I keep doing it to myself. Sigh. But if even one of these Christmas flops is good, then I haven’t wasted ALL of my free time. But this wasn’t quite it. So this time a … Continue reading
Dear Santa would get bonus points if it had the guts to actually give itself the title it deserves… and post that all over Paramount+, social media, and the internet as a whole. But it doesn’t and it doesn’t even … Continue reading
