Confession time: I have never read the books. I only re-watched half of the first movie in preparation for this review. I’ve never been to Boston in the fall. I am three children wearing a trench coat. The political stuff went way over our heads (Scott’s, mainly, because he’s the strongest so he had to…
So, the other day I was reading Shakespeare’s Troilus and Cressida, you know, as one does. I was particularly excited for this play because it takes place during the Trojan War and includes all your favorite characters from The Iliad.

We’ve watched a pretty wide variety of movies including Zoolander, Space Jam, Much Ado About Murder, Black Dynamite, The Blair Witch Project, Creature from…
Baddie: Ghosts of patients, and maybe weird doctors, but definitely of angsty filmmakers. Lesson: Procrastination is literally the devil. Just finish things. It’s better.
