Watch It Wednesday
Running Point - WATCH
This new Netflix series just dropped and it stars one of my celebrity girl crushes, Kate Hudson. Honestly this show is a little cheesy and sitcom-y, but it sure kept me entertained. Plus I loved getting to see a girl boss bossing it up while running a professional basketball team! Cannot wait for the next season since this one ended on a cliff hanger!

The Substance - WATCH
When a horror movie is nominated for MULTIPLE Oscars you KNOW I am going to check it out! And, after watching it, I understand why it received so many nominations. This movie is intense. The body horror is unreal. And if you have a problem with needles you are going to be uncomfy. But with all that being said this is definitely a movie to check out and is a good representation of the stress of aging and unrealistic beauty standards that exist in the world.

Set It Up - Ehhhh maybe skip
This movie is best as background noise or if you are wanting something you don’t really have to pay too close attention to. Or if you just want to see Glen Powell which is the reason why I watched it in the first place. lol

Longlegs - WATCH
This movie is a wild ride from start to finish and honestly I can’t even fully describe it or how I feel about it. It kind of left me with that “what the heck did I just watch” feeling, but in a good way I think. lol Definitely a movie in a league of its own. Also Nicholas Cage in this movie?! AMAZING.

The Wild Robot - WATCH
Have kid’s movies always had moments and lines geared towards adults or is that a new thing? Regardless of whether it is or not I definitely have a love/hate relationship with it. Do I enjoy and relate to the movies more? Yes. Do they make me cry every single time? YES. And this movie is no different! I knew from watching the trailer I was going to have to have some tissues near and I was not wrong. I cried sad tears. I cried happy tears. It was a wonderful emotional rollercoaster of a journey and I definitely think this is one to watch!

Ma - eh maybe watch
Did this movie have some creepy vibes? Absolutely. However up until the end it was suuuuuuper slow which really didn’t help make it a movie I could deem a must watch. The build up just kind of fell flat for me, but the ending was WILD. Definitely went from 0-100 real fast.

Survival of the Thickest (Season 2 is here!) - WATCH
A new season of this show has arrived on Netflix and it still remains a show I will recommend! It is fun, it is great for helping you find confidence in yourself, it is great for helping you see the world from other perspectives. Just absolutely great.

The Strangers Prey At Night - WATCH
After seeing a new Strangers movie is coming out in September of this year I decided to go back to check out the movies that have already been released in the universe….and then realized that I hadn’t watched any of them except for the first one. And I call myself a fan. Smh. lol So anyway I watched this second installment in the “series” and while the movie itself wasn’t necessarily scary it gave me an insane amount of paranoia that then led to me checking every room in my house for intruders, looking outside for anyone who might not belong, and then putting on a Disney movie afterwards. It was exactly what I was hoping for.
