Welp, 2025 came and went with so much to offer us cinephiles that we're just in a tizzy over films like Train Dreams, One Battle After Another, and of course Sinners

So, I just had to add my two cents to the tab, lol!

In this episode, I do a skimming over this year's Academy Awards Nominations List, a fitting a precursor to the big show coming March 15th.

In this week in reviews, I give a take on both Pillion and The Importance of Being Earnest. films that are totally on different side of the spectrum. One being a classic work of theatrical art, and being offered through the National Theater Live Program, and the other finally crossing the Atlantic to deliver one of the highest rated erotic films eva! Both stimulating, and both well worth the wait.

February's Act Two episode is a personal favorite of mine, and don't let the title fool you. This is one of the funniest, and realist, romantic films ever!

This is PBS Hour. And this one’s for the ones who got the joke.

PBS Hour is here, and it’s British brilliance at its best. From the camp chaos of Are You Being Served? to the quietly radical heart of The Vicar of Dibley, to the tender, grown-up romance of As Time Goes By.

This episode celebrates comedy that evolved and still lands, proving humor doesn’t have to shout to make an impact w wit. warmth, and characters who feel like old friends.

Well, this story has been in the making for quite some time, and the whole world has been waiting with baited breathe as to the outcome of the potential merger of Netflix or Paramount.

As a kid raised on Warner, their next step for the studio that has given us some of most memorable films eva! Their next phase feels very much like a paradigm, or better yet, a generational shift.

Sit back, relax, a go on a journey with me as I break down the numbers, myths, and hopes of a merger that can reshape the entertainment as we know it.

Film Spotlight: Practical Magic 2 (Fall 2026)

Some films just don’t age but they become apart of you, and even guide you through life. Practical Magic. has stood the test of time in regards to cinematic timelines.

And nearly three decades later, the Owens Women are returning. Not to relive the past but to build a future for, maybe, generations to come.

Practical Magic 2 looks to delve into legacy, sisterhood, and what survives when the love story ends, and life keeps going.

And as a woman who first watched this film, in her room while writing a English comp paper? This spotlight looks ahead to 2026 and back at why this story shifted so many of us.

And next week, the episode many have been waiting for: Warner's Center Stage: A WBD Baby's Take

PBS Hour: PBS Kids, A Love Letter, a reckoning

This episode took longer to arrive but for good reason. As a PBS kid turned PBS adult, revisiting these stories stirred more than nostalgia. In the span of seven days, the themes I was editing like care, curiosity, safety, community. Collided with the very real emotions I was carrying in my own life.

So I paused. I wrestled with it. I listened.

Because sometimes the things that raised us meet us again when we need them most — and that can be both comforting and confronting.

If you’ve ever found yourself returning to childhood touchstones during a hard or transitional moment, you’re not alone.

For this episode is for all of us who grew up on PBS, and are still learning how to carry those lessons forward.

Two episodes this week feels right. It’s the holidays. It’s reflective season.
And this one needed its time.
