Television Kills Brain Cells Archives

This is not a drill, folks: your littles are about to have a meltdown and right now there's nothing you can do to change that. Disney has decided to pull their entire library off of streaming giant, Netflix, so it can hack out its own piece of the streaming pie. Sometime in 2019, Disney will be launching its own streaming service, and according to CNBC their entire library will be made available for all to view. For a price... So let's just go over this again: because being a parent isn't hard enough already, Disney just pulled their entire library off Netflix. Because Being A Parent Keep Reading >>>

Chris Pratt And Anna Faris Splitting Up Is The Adult Version Of Finding Out Santa Isn’t Real

When we marry our sweetheart most of the time we're young, kinda dumb, and basically broke. I mean, a lot of us, at least. Let's get real: most of us do not have the fairytale marriage that we dreamed of when we were five. You know, that marriage we practiced out with the Barbie and Ken Santa brought us for Christmas? But we're happy. And happy gets you pretty far in life. There are bad days, but they are far outweighed by the good days. And part of those good days is looking up to other couples who have made it and are living the life you wish you had. For me, it was Chris Pratt and Anna Keep Reading >>>

Riverdale is Your Next Netflix Binge and Here’s Why

I just spent the last thirteen or so hours engrossed in a teen drama based on the Archie Comics, and I wish there were thirteen more episodes so I could keep watching. That's right y'all this is like Sunday morning cartoons meets the Vampire Diaries and you won't be able to get enough of it.

My Little Pony: They’re Not Just For Kids Anymore!

My 16 year old daughter is obsessed with My Little Pony. The thing is, I actually enjoy it myself, because let's face it: "Friendship is magic." I feel like I know far more about My Little Pony now than I did when I was a kid. She's taught me the different generations of ponies, like in the 80's they were the gen 1 and now like 35+ years later they are the gen 4. A lot has changed when I watched them...cutting edge compared to gen 1. So yeah, My Little Pony is still a thing, and apparently it's a really big thing. My Little Pony: They're Not Just For Kids Anymore! I've come to realize, Keep Reading >>>

I Think My Dog Is Addicted To TV

My dog Bosco watches television. Not just a few minutes here or there, but the whole show, and he has his favorites. He'll sit in front of it so close I'm almost concerned about his eyesight, especially after my Mom used to tell me, "Don't sit so close it will hurt your eyes." Will it hurt his eyes? The Vet doesn't seem to think so, yes I've asked...because I can't get him to stop, or back away. It's almost more entertaining to watch him then it is to watch the TV itself. Because he becomes so engrossed, you can watch his head move as the characters on the screen move, whine at a random animal Keep Reading >>>

Do Not Let Your Kids Watch 13 REASONS WHY

13 Reasons Why is a show on Netflix based on the Best Selling Young Adult Novel by Jay Asher. The book takes place just after a teenage girl kills herself and she has left a series of 13 tapes behind for the people in her life that are the reasons why she killed herself to listen to. I read the book several years ago and have followed the author online for several years. I am a bit of a YA junkie, and I was really excited for this series to come out. Which means that going in, I knew that the booked touched on extremely triggering topics like rape and suicide. I watched the series fully Keep Reading >>>

I Am Totally Into The Superbowl…Commercials

There's a big ball game coming up. You know, the sportsball game where there are two teams. They run back and forth down a big marked field, and fight over an oblong ball. Sometimes they slap each other on the behind...I've seen it. I know what's up. Yes, it's an American thing. Don't worry, I don't really get it either. Obviously, I don't watch the game for the sport of it (I know, some of you are shocked, angry, and appalled at the thought). I don't even know who the competing teams are this year. I think it's some kind of bird team, and that team from New England (Is that even Keep Reading >>>

My Husband Doesn’t Like GoT, And Now I Don’t Know Who I Married…

'arry Pottah

Let me start off by saying I love my husband and I am so lucky to have found this great man. Now that I got that out of the way, I can start my story. I am almost as much a movie/TV fanatic as I am an obsessed book lover (notice the word almost), so naturally I have watched a lot of movies. I like action, comedies, sappy and ridiculous romantic movies, the occasional musical, horror, some classics, thrillers, and of course FANTASY movies and television shows.

3 Everyday Horrors That Will Never Get Their Own Movie

October is here, and with the crisp weather and the promise of Halloween on the wind comes the traditional horror movie marathons. We watch in giddy anticipation of the hapless hero stumbling upon a murder in progress. Then we yell at the screen when they idiotically run upstairs instead of outside to the already running car. You enjoy these moments of terror because they get your heart pumping. But deep down inside you believe that you are safe from nightmare knife monsters, and demonic books. Statistically, you are right. There have been no reported Freddy Kruger sightings since the Keep Reading >>>

5 Questions About The Walking Dead

Something I think a lot of people have in common is that we weren't all that into zombies, er, walkers before The Walking Dead. Or maybe it's just me. I just wasn't 'that' into zombie lore or bloody viscera or the whole idea of a zombie apocalypse. Now? I'm a full fledged zombophile. Between Shaun Of The Dead, Warm Bodies, iZombie, Z Nation, Fear The Walking Dead, and of course The Walking Dead, I've now bridged the gap between "person who couldn't tell you two things about zombies," and "person who needs answers." Which is why I'm here. I have 5 big questions about AMC's The Walking Dead, and Keep Reading >>>

20 Reasons Zombies Make Great Boyfriends…

It's October (FINALLY), which means two things: Halloween, and the return of The Walking Dead. I wish I could say I was more excited about Halloween, but I'd be lying to everyone. I'm All About TWD. But I'm also slightly twisted, and just a little bit off, so the other day (okay, probably more like three in the morning), I was thinking about how I really don't care much for dating and then I realized - zombies would make surprisingly great boyfriends.

This Guy Set AVENGERS To The Theme Of Full House…And It’s AMAZING!

If you were alive in the late 80's, early 90's, there is no WAY you missed Full House. Okay, so you might have pretended to be too cool for it, but anyone who was anyone either had a crush on Uncle Jesse, or thought Joey was the funniest person they'd ever heard of, or thought Danny was the square dad they wanted. And can we TALK about Steve? Um, *drool factory*. So yeah, when Fuller House came out early this year, I 'may' have watched it in a day. Okay, yeah, less than a day. It was the binge to end all binges. Steve didn't age as well as I'd expected him to. Uncle Jesse aged WAY BETTER than Keep Reading >>>

Here’s The Video Of Millie Bobby Brown (Eleven) From Stranger Things Shaving Her Head!

I wasn't going to watch Stranger Things. I thought it was going to be dumb, thought it was trending for no reason, thought it was just another repeat of a repeat and I Wan't Buying In. A cross between ET and Firestarter? Um, nothanks. One ENORMOUS binge later, I finished the entire first season. Trust me - the hype isn't just hype. I LOVED IT. Now, I realize it might not be for everyone, but since I 'am' a child of the 80's, it TOTALLY was for me. Basically it tickled every single part of my lil' 80's heart and can I say - Matthew Modine.

The 10 Things I Fear Most About ‘FULLER HOUSE’

The FULL HOUSE reunion show FULLER HOUSE starts today, and while this is the reboot I've been waiting my entire adult life for, I'm actually a bit nervous. I mean, this show was great in part because we lived in a more innocent time. TV is different now. Full House came to us before the Internet got big, before cell phones were in everyone's pockets, before 9/11. The jokes could be campy and corny because the biggest worry for the characters on the show were things like, "Do these acid washed jeans make me look like I'm trying to act young" and "What shenanigans will Michelle be in the middle Keep Reading >>>

Kylie Jenner Is In A Tight Spot…At Least Her Wrist Is…

So the biggest news today wasn't a celebrity death (thank goodness) or some standoff somewhere (again, thank goodness)...no. It was the fact that Kylie Jenner has a bracelet stuck on her wrist. Seriously. A bracelet is stuck on her wrist. It's been four years, so, you know. No biggie. Four. Years. I'm just wondering why at no point anyone was like, "Hey, Kyls, need some help getting that thing off? 'Cause it's been on there a while..." But nope. And today a security guard was trying to take the sucker off to no avail. So here are a list of things I've come up with that Kylie Jenner Keep Reading >>>

Ricky Gervais Just KILLED IT At The Golden Globes

Just in case you've been under a rock, I'm going to go ahead and call this one as NSFW. There is no cursing or anything more than innuendo, but c'mon, it's Ricky Gervais. If you've got kids in the room, or kids in general, maybe don't watch this. No, you should still watch it, it's pretty amazingly funny...and no one was immune. Ricky Gervais definitely held back a bit to keep it 'air friendly', but that's it... I mean, it's Ricky Gervais. No one expected it wouldn't be hilarious, but I think we all kind of held our breath to see if he'd go too far...and while he definitely walked the Keep Reading >>>

Why Watching Adam Driver Play Kylo Ren Was Weird…And Awesome.

Hannah's boyfriend?" "Yeah. He plays a pretty huge role too. He was awesome." Needless to say, when we went together to see it a few days later, I knew immediately exactly who was behind Kylo Ren's mask. That voice is unmistakable. And it was weird.
