As I mentioned in yesterday’s post, my mom and I saw Hamnet in theatres this past weekend. Naturally, we decided to venture out in the midst of a snowstorm, and as choppy as the drive was in spots, it was positively worth it because my mom and I had the entire theatre to ourselves. It … More Have you seen ‘Hamnet’? (part two)
I have a love-hate relationship with William Shakespeare. I, like most other high school students, was first introduced to him in the ninth grade via Romeo and Juliet, his widely-known and recognized play, and continued to deepen my relationship with his works in every high school grade after that, some titles being A Midsummer Night’s … More Have you seen ‘Hamnet’? (part one)
Despite strongly associating with the identity of a creature of habit, every now and then, something new and exciting on Netflix catches my eye. I have my comfort shows as much as the next suspected autistic, with Brooklyn Nine-Nine almost always playing on repeat, but when I tuned into Netflix a few nights ago and … More Have you seen Matty Matheson’s ‘Just A Dash’?
While Blaine and I still haven’t finished watching the entirety of Netflix’s Monster: The Ed Gein Story, we are slowly working our way through the episodes. We have a handful left to complete, but part of the reason it’s taking us a little while to finish it is because it really is so damn dark … More Monster: The Ed Gein Story – real or romanticized?
When Netflix initially aired its first installment of its ‘Monster’ series, the monster in question was Jeffrey Dahmer. The second installment depicted the Menendez brothers as the monsters, and quite recently, the third installment premiered, with Ed Gein as the monster. If you’ve never watched the Monster series, allow me to fill you in; essentially, … More Netflix’s ‘Monster: The Ed Gein Story’ is not for the faint of heart
I have not hidden my love for the television series Brooklyn Nine-Nine from anyone here who reads my blog somewhat regularly, and for good reason; it is arguably one of the best shows I have ever seen, and I have lost count of how many times I have rewatched it. I consider it my comfort … More If you’re a Brooklyn Nine-Nine fan, read this
I’ve come to realize that, in the past, I have written a post addressing a movie or television series I’ve recently started, in which I state I will come back in the future and provide you with an update. There have been a number of instances in which I have failed to circle back. If … More An honest update of “What We Do in the Shadows”
Yesterday’s post discussing The Westdale Theatre in Hamilton, Ontario, serves as a more than adequate segue to introduce today’s post; my parents and I went to the Westdale to see Bullitt because my dad is a fan, and today, we will be talking about the movie in question. I had never heard of this film … More Have you seen “Bullitt”?
To celebrate my dad this past Father’s Day, my mom came up with a brilliant idea for a gift for him; she saw online that there was a screening of the 1958 film Bullitt playing at a theatre in Hamilton called The Westdale, and purchased tickets for her, me, and my dad. My dad is … More This is your sign to visit Westdale Theatre in Hamilton
NASCAR and motorsports have been part of my life for as long as I can remember, thanks to my dad. He has a passion for mechanics, motorsports, classic cars and pulling tractors, to name a few, and he had me in his cars as soon as I was old enough when I was a kid. … More If you’re a NASCAR fan, you need to watch “Earnhardt”
Witty, strange and demented humour has always been a tremendous passion of mine. I get my sense of humour from my father, undoubtedly, and I am grateful to have been bestowed this blessing. The nuttier, the better, in my opinion. I’ve been wanting to find a new television series to watch because I’ve rewatched the … More Here’s why “What We Do in the Shadows” should be your next watch
I wouldn’t consider myself someone who is an avid watcher of Marvel, or superhero, films. I’ve seen a handful, and all of them have been entertaining from what I can recall, but I have friends who have quite literally seen every Marvel film in existence, hence why I don’t classify myself as a massive Marvel … More Here’s why ‘Thunderbolts*’ is so much more than a Marvel movie
I wrote a post a little while ago about a show I’m currently watching called Marco Polo. While I’m finding it a little tricky to follow at times regarding its plot, it is a great watch, and I definitely recommend it. In the show, a specific form of martial arts, referred to as Praying Mantis … More Have you heard of Praying Mantis Kung Fu?
If you’re like me and tend to watch and rewatch the same shows and series repeatedly, you can arguably relate to the frustration that occurs when you realize you probably could go for something new to watch, yet have absolutely no clue where to begin. I am obsessed with anything related to Vikings, Medieval times, … More Looking for something new to watch? Consider Marco Polo
Despite how frequently I rewatch the same shows and series, every now and then, I am inspired to watch something new and, therefore, different. This instance of variety doesn’t occur terribly often, but when it does, I do my best to lean into this curiosity and allow myself to tune into something new and foreign. … More Have you seen “Alexander: The Making of a God”?
If I could time travel and had the opportunity to visit and tell my teenage self that I would develop an appreciation for history in the near future, I think I would have popped myself square in the teeth, without hesitation. When I was younger, I positively despised anything historical (that’s a bold assertion, but … More “Secrets of the Saqqara Tomb”: An enthralling watch
If you follow my blog in any capacity, it is no secret that my husband and I thoroughly enjoy watching true crime documentaries. We specifically enjoy the Netflix American Murder documentary series, and I believe we have seen all of them to date. We are almost finished watching the most recent release depicting the tragic … More True crime documentaries: helpful or hurtful?
If you asked me ten years ago to watch a historical documentary about the Roman Empire, I arguably would have told you to go and pound salt. When I was younger, I was not, in any manner whatsoever, interested in history; I found it boring beyond comprehension, and I never really found it terribly engaging. … More Is Netflix’s Roman Empire worth watching?
It deeply saddens me to acknowledge that there is a serious lack of media productions in existence that cover rugby content. You can imagine my excitement when Netflix added a documentary about the legendary Six Nations tournament last year; while I am waiting as patiently as I can for the second installment to be added … More Have you seen ‘No Woman No Try’?
Periodically, via my social media feeds, clips of a woman discussing famous historical events in the most dead pan humour approach possible appear, and I always pause to watch them. I never quite knew exactly what the original source of these clips is, up until a recent discovery which has granted me with tremendous happiness. … More Have you seen ‘Cunk on Earth’?
I am a sucker for a good documentary. I never really used to enjoy them when I was younger as I oftentimes found them rather boring, but now that I’ve matured a wee bit and have learned to appreciate history more than I once did, I now prefer watching documentaries over most other shows, with … More Looking for a mind-blowing documentary?

My husband and I thoroughly enjoy watching documentaries of just about any genre, but our favourites are arguably true crime and sports documentaries. We watched a solid handful of both types via Netflix, and a couple of days ago, I notified Blaine that a new sports documentary titled Aaron Rodgers: Enigma had been added. I wouldn’t say … More ‘Aaron Rodgers: Enigma:’ view or vanquish?
This past Saturday evening, my mom and visited our local theatre to see Gladiator II. I’ve seen the first, much like most people, and while my mom enjoys Medieval settings in television and film, I wouldn’t say it is necessarily her favourite. So, she was a real trooper and took one for the team because … More Yes, you need to see Gladiator II
As most of my consistent readers already know, I have a borderline obsession with any television series or film depicting a Medieval setting. Anything to do with Vikings I have arguably watched at least five times through, and because I occasionally like to switch up what I’m watching, I thought I would explore Netflix a … More Have you seen ‘Cursed’?
I’ve read on more than one occasion that people who are able to relax while watching true crime productions are more than likely not terribly well mentally. Seeing as my husband and I both find watching true crime documentaries relaxing, I suppose if things do go south, at least we will be in the thick … More ‘This is the Zodiac Speaking’: A chilling take on one of America’s most notorious serial killers
I am a born and raised Catholic, and attending church weekly with my mom is a time we both cherish and appreciate. I would consider my mom’s faith to be a bit stronger than my own in the sense she is normally chomping at the bit to see any sort of religious movie when they’re … More Is ‘Conclave’ worth seeing?
A few nights ago, I came to the sudden realization that spooky season is officially underway and I hadn’t yet watched a horror movie. I brought this to Blaine’s attention and we agreed we would watch one together, and ended up choosing one called The Deliverance via Netflix. I had heard a thing or two … More Have you seen ‘The Deliverance’?
Without creating or causing any unnecessary concern, I think it would be appropriate on my own behalf to acknowledge that I have dedicated a solid amount of writing material toward true crime shows as of late. I’m not exactly sure of how to offer an explanation for this uptick, aside from the fact that I … More Haven you seen ‘The Staircase’?
About a month ago, Blaine and I started watching a relatively new movie released via Amazon Prime titled The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare. We got almost halfway through it, but Blaine fell asleep, so I paused it where we left off in hopes of finishing it soon after. Alas, this thing called life seemed to … More Looking for an action movie that is actually exciting? Read this
If you follow my blog to any extent, I arguably do not need to remind you of my passion and interest in all things Medieval and/or Viking. I’ve seen most television and film adaptations of Viking and Norse history, and I definitely have my favourites, but one movie I haven’t gotten around to seeing until … More ‘The Northman’: a slow, disappointing burn
