Podcast This podcast is ongoing and season 4 just started this month but since I did get caught up until it started I figured that I would write about the first 3 seasons. This is a podcast by a guy (and his friends) who's dad wrote a book called Belinda Blinked. This 60ish year old guy(pen-name Rocky Flinstone) said I'm bored, I think I want to write an erotic novel. So he did, then he kept writing and now has sequels and other stories. Each book was then read to millions of listeners. It's hilarious because its ridiculous. I know, that this sounds dirty and it is but it is the least sexy thing I've ever heard. It is so gross and scientifically inaccurate. And the commentary from the son Jamie, and his friends James and Alice is perfect! I even started listening to another podcast just because they were on an extra podcast with them. It's not the same and I hope that means these 3 keep going because for the first time in all the Rocky books, there was a twist t

Movie Look, I think we all know that Avengers is all about the money. They don't care about artistry, they only care about humor and explosions. The acting is getting worse and worse but the explosions are bigger and the characters are more friendly than ever which creates humor and fun. The cast of characters grow every movie and that makes the movies a little hard to watch. It went from being a fun movie about friends, to being a mess with some funny one liners. The story line is hectic and annoying, and it frustrates me because I really like all of the characters. All the Chris', the Toms, Mark, Benedict, RDJ, Anthony, and Chadwick are all hilarious but there is too many of them. I love Guardians of the Galaxy, but they are a lot to handle and to add 30 other "stars" is insane. It was much funnier than I thought it would be though. The most recent Thor movie was the same way, a lot of bright colors and loud noises with some funny bits tied in. Rumor has it that

TV Show Netflix created, Harlan Coben written and produced along with producer and star Michael C. Hall (Dexter) Safe is a British mini-series about a small closed community. The community literally has a wall built around it because of a fire that was started in the school 30 years before the show takes place. It is centered around Michael C. Hall's family and its relationship to secret of the town. There are multiple mysteries to solve in this show but none of them are obvious until the last episode! I am telling you that I would not have watched the show if it wasn't recommended by My Favorite Murder. But they talked about it and mentioned that it was Dexter starring in it and so I decided that I would give it a chance. I loved it so much that I was mad that it was only a mini-series. It only has 8 episodes but my husband and I watched almost all of it in one day. We saved the last 2 episodes for the next day because we had to sleep. It's a British show and Michael i

Movie One of the funniest movies I've watched this year! I wasn't excited about it either, Ed Helms, Jon Hamm, and Jake Johnson while funny, aren't always the right kind of funny. They're all pretty dumb... But Jeremy Renner is fantastic and kind of made the movie. Plus it turns out that it is based on a true story! In real life, there is a group of guys who have been friends since elementary school and one month a year (I assume they only play once a year so that the other 11 months they can be successful adults) every year they play tag. They keep it going all month long and whoever is it at the end of the month is the ultimate loser for the year! They hide and dress up and surprise each other and I wish I could live their lives. I love the story line and it was actually intense in some moments. Jeremy was pulling out his moves from Hawkeye or Bourne Legacy. He had never been tagged but SPOILER ALERT he lets someone tag him because he had to learn how to be part o

Movie Lucy Hale, Austin Butler, and a cast of other people who I barely know or don't know; tell a story of high school and graduating and moving on after high school. Lucy is fantastic and I love her crew in school, they seem very real. Kathryn Prescott plays Chloe and is amazing, apart from the smoking and drinking and tragedy, she is me in high school. And she is British! I didn't know that until I looked her up, she's such a good actor. Lucy Hale is one of my favorite people on TV but she is really trying to show that she isn't afraid to be something different. SPOILER ALERT she shows her boobs! I was shocked because Lucy is so innocent and sweet. I haven't seen Truth or Dare yet but it seems pretty dark for her too. With that being said, her acting is on point and I love her. Austin Butler plays a few weird characters and he's been dating Vanessa Hudgens for a long time. And the kid that plays the same character as Dwayne Johnson in Jumanji is in it. He&#
