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

Pop Goes The Culture

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. Wow, I missed him. So sad he was a completely Keep Reading >>>

10 Ways Parenting Is Like Orange Is The New Black

Pop Goes The Culture

I've spent most of the weekend binge watching Orange Is the New Black, and if my facebook stream is any indication, you did, too. Since I am can't stop watching, I can't help but compare being a parent to living at Litchfield. 10 Ways Parenting Is Like Orange Is the New Black 1. All the different crews have different places to sleep and hang out. Man, this sounds exactly like the school cafeteria at any middle school. Kids have to know their place and so do moms!

I Binge Watched All Of Fuller House And I Have a Lot Of Feelings About It

Pop Goes The Culture

For those of you not in the know, Fuller House is out today, and I have been waiting on it for-- well, pretty much what I feel like is one million days. So, this afternoon, I did what all good people who write about life and culture full time, I spent the entire time on the couch watching all of Fuller House. So, be warned that there are all sorts of spoilers below. Stop now if you didn't spend your Friday watching Fuller House! Episode 1: Yes! They start it off with cute baby onesie Elvis jokes, practically all the old cast is back, and it's making me laugh. In fact, they Keep Reading >>>

The 10 Things I Fear Most About ‘FULLER HOUSE’

Pop Goes The Culture

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…

Pop Goes The Culture

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

Obsessively Awesome Movies

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 >>>

Everything You Are Feeling About The Full House Reunion

Pop Goes The Culture

In case you've been living under a rock and somehow missed it, FULL HOUSE IS COMING BACK on Friday February 26! And they finally released some of the pictures of the cast and the sets, and the EVERYTHING and it is all just so... FULL. Sigh, just look at them all together again. And Jessie! Has he even aged?

Run around with their hands on their hips looking all sassy? (Man, this show was so Keep Reading >>>

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

Obsessively Awesome Movies

WARNING: This post contains spoilers for both Star Wars: The Force Awakens and HBO's Girls. When my boyfriend came home after seeing Star Wars: The Force Awakens for the first time, he asked me if I "knew that goofy looking guy from the show Girls (HBO) was in the movie?" "Adam? 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. Here are a few reasons Why watching Adam Driver play Kylo Keep Reading >>>

Steve Harvey Crowns The Wrong Girl Miss Universe Making For A Really Awkward Moment.

Pop Goes The Culture

In what I can only describe as one of the most awkward moments I have ever seen happen at a beauty pageant, Steve Harvey crowns the WRONG candidate Miss Universe. You see, Miss Philippines, Pia Wurtzbach, is this year's Miss Universe winner. But Steve Harvey accidentally crowns someone else Miss Universe and things just get awkward. Miss Philippines, along with Miss USA and Miss Colombia were the final three contestants. Basically, he called out the order wrong, and they crowned Miss Colombia the winner. You would think this is the sort of thing they would let go, solve after the Keep Reading >>>

Why I Blocked Caillou

Pop Goes The Culture

Oh, Caillou. You know him, you've heard him, you either love him or you hate him. (This probably depends on your age. If you're four, you love him, if you're 34, you hate him.) Either way, It's CAILLOU! There are things about Caillou that are okay. His mom and his dad both work. He has a lot going on in his life, and he's a small child, so he has emotions. All that is totally okay. I like that Caillou shows my kid she's allowed to have emotions, but what I don't like is that Caillou shows my daughter it's okay to throw a fit. Why I Blocked Caillou Um, okay? There are that many Keep Reading >>>

Ed Sheeran Sings ‘The Fresh Prince’ Theme Song, And It Is Awesome!

Because, YouTube...

Ed Sheeran is one of my favorite singers out there. But it isn't just his songs that are so amazing, it's him. He's probably my favorite ginger on the planet. Favorite. And that's saying a lot, 'cause I know a lot of red-heads. But, I digress. So recently Eddie (as I like to call him) was on a radio show when a caller asked him to sing The Fresh Prince theme song.

I have never even Thought of this song in this way, much less thought I'd actually hear it Keep Reading >>>

Kristen Wiig and Steve Carell Share Hilariously Weird Memories Of Their First Animated Movies…

Because, YouTube...

When it comes to childhood memories, some are great  - like those times you got an extra gumball out of the machine, and some are not so great - like those times your hamster kept getting stuck in the couch and no one could find him. For most, the first animated movie they went to see is one of the great memories. Mine was The Secret Of Nimh, and while it definitely has its fair share of sadness, it was an incredible movie (and an incredible memory). For Kristen Wiig and Steve Carell? Not so much... Take a look! Sure, sure, this is a skit and it's meant to be funny, and it was. Dark, Keep Reading >>>

Sexual Tension, Racial Prejudice and Magical Realism.

Pop Goes The Culture

Did you read the title to this blog post? If not, go back and do so. I'll give you a second. Finished? Good, now let's get started. Doesn't that title sound like the makings of an excellent novel? There's the love interest, the conflict of the racial prejudice, and of course magic. Who doesn't want to read that story? What if I were to tell you that it wasn't a novel, but in fact a television show. You'd buy that, right? Sure you would. TV shows usually have a good plot to keep us interested. But... let's just say that television show is for children. Children, you say? Now you're Keep Reading >>>

8 Reasons I Am Totally Watching The CW’s Reign

General

It's no secret that I love a good teen show. Okay, admittedly they usually they need some vampires to totally pull me in. BUT, I also secretly love a good period drama. I watched The Tudors like a bazillion times, and not just for the hotness. (Okay, partly for the hotness.) So, when I heard The CW was coming out with a new period drama of their own, REIGN, I had to know more! I watched the pilot and after the first five minutes of amazingness, I am hooked.

So, you've been warned. :) Why is it that on a beautifully fantastic day where all I want to do is be outside-- I have a sick kid and we have to spend the entire day INSIDE?

The Death of The Movie Theater?

Obsessively Awesome Movies

The other day I air-popped some popcorn and sat down on my couch to watch a movie on my big 'ol television, and I started to wonder... are people still going to movie theaters? Is that still something people do, or do we instead sit at home with our surround sound, hd television, fancy tv stand that keeps all our nasty dvd players, video game consoles, etc. out of sight, and of COURSE our super sweet pause button. You see, I think the pause button is what makes my couch beat the movie theater. Movies are long, I like to drink lemonade... and if I'm going to pay $11.00 a ticket, then Keep Reading >>>

Aw, Scott Baio is MAD Now.

Me

This is day three of the My Twitter Account vs. Scott Baio. If you are just now tuning in, you should start here: Part One: Charles is Not in Charge of My Direct Messages Then you need to read this: Part Two: Jamie Does Not Love Chachie Okay, so I called him out. I told him I didn't believe he was VERY VERY RICH, as his first DM told me. and I told him to prove it by buying me a new Macbook Air. Well--he didn't take too kindly to that. (Don't tell Scott Baio, but it makes me question his VERY VERY rich statement just a little bit.) Well, twitter was relatively free of Scott Keep Reading >>>

Jamie Does NOT Love Chachi

So, it's day two of My Twitter V Scott Baio. If you're just tuning in, you should start here. Let me just say this: Scott Baio is quite upset that I shared his personal DM. I respect that. It's rude to share things said to you in private. At first I felt a little bad about this, and then I remembered that Scott Baio told me he was VERY VERY rich... To which I say: Hey Scott! Why don't you prove just how rich you are! I've been eyeing those Macbook Airs lately. Why don't you click that little donate button right there and PROVE how rich you are?  You know you want Keep Reading >>>

Charles in Charge of My Direct Messages?

When I was in middle school, and he was yukkin it up with his crazy best friend on the late eighties sitcom, Charles in Charge--I had a little crush. What? He was a cutie... But now, he's on twitter. And--he's a little opinionated. He started ragging on the president. So, she responded: And, so he Keep Reading >>>

Regular TV and why it bores me…

General

So, I have decided recently that TV isn't worth watching in real time.  And when I say real time, I don't mean like right when the show is going on... but like some time that week on DVR.  I mean, sure... you get to skip the commercials... but that isn't even enough for me anymore.  I want to watch the whole series from beginning to end... and if not end... then to where ever it is at that point.  For example... I have always wanted to get into Smallville, but because I didn't start it at the very beginning... I didn't start it at all!  But, I decided to check it out, and I am a little ways Keep Reading >>>
