In between my weekly watchings of Hawkeye, Yellowjackets, Dickinson, and The Expanse, I’ve watched two tremendous movies that I’ve thoroughly enjoyed. Find them below! The Power of the Dog The Power of the Dog trailer set me up for the expectations of a dreary tale featuring one Doctor Stephen Strange (aka Benedict Cumberbatch.) What I …
A fair few dramas and comedies have entered the arena this November – three new and two returning – that I recommend adding to your Winter watchlist: Yellowjackets Yellowjackets is a rather darker take on teenage girl survivalism than that offered by The Wilds late last year. The show follows a girls soccer team that …
I have long loved Rent, and was fortunate enough to see it live a few years ago thanks to Broadway Across Canada. I also loved the movie adaptation, which…well, it wasn’t for everyone.

In fact, it’s my most-viewed post since the one that randomly blew up about Canadian Speedskating (hallo Dutch followers!). However, there are two responses I’ve heard a lot when sharing about …

Since I’m not yet comfortable rejoining the mostly-vaccinated masses, I will instead reminisce about my favourite concerts from over the years. RY X (at St. James Hall) This concert was a spiritual experience. Maybe that was because …
Earlier this year, I took to the airwaves and submitted a voice note to the Girl on Girl Podcast, which had inspired me with an interview with Humberly Gonzalez from Ginny & Georgia. Initially, I clung to the idea of anonymity and starting writing the piece below. But, ultimately, I decide to rip the Band-Aid …
