Aliens Abducted My Parents (and Now I feel Kinda Left Out) sure feels like the clickbait version of a movie title. Makes you think you’ll be watching a wackier, more satirical movie than what you actually get. And I’d be … Continue reading
Watched the new Netflix original teen romantic comedy The Kissing Booth 2. I saw the original and *gasp* might not have posted a review about it. Shame Shame, I know my name… but anyway, I thought it was a decent … Continue reading

Also rented (via iTunes) the, if nothing else, curiously titled My Entire High School Sinking into the Sea. It’s an animated teen comedy/satire set in a high school that, due to an earthquake, has slipped into the ocean and is … Continue reading
