pickI loved this book! It was like revisiting nostalgia which was reaffirmed for being as good if not more awesome than I remembered it! I loved these guys growing up and would often end up watching their syndicated show after the late-night talk shows went off the air on Fridays. These guys genuinely loved movies and enjoyed sharing their love and criticism of film with the world. They despised one another but came to respect and love each other
Dirty car. Gabrielle Solis. Only reason her house is ever clean is because of hired help. When she doesn't have maids her kitchen is a total sty. #two4tuesday
Can we do #TuesdayTunes on a Thursday night?? This just came up on a Spotify-curated playlist, and I could smell that school bus seat vinyl and that particular teenage muskiness. Man…took me straight back to high school. Hadn‘t heard the song in years!

Me and Worf's mum sharing a cup of tea in the same glass 🍵🖖😊 (though hers was lapsang souchong from a replicator and mine was cinnamon and plum from a pot 🫖).
Worf's having family problems with his son, Alexander, this episode, and the subplot with the soliton wave propulsion system seems like an ill-conceived technology!
Of the two 5🌟 books I read in December, the other was Gangsters Don't Die by Tod Goldberg, this was the one I liked best, it was a nostalgia rush. They were movies for me growing up, their reviews and opinions shaped the movies I saw and those I skipped. I didn't always agree with them, but their show was always lively and well informed.

This was a very fun inside look into the world of TV fashion!
The book showcases a wide range of television shows, spanning all decades and genres. It is divided into different chapters based on style (ex. period shows, working women, and glamour to name a few). This organizational method worked so well (way better than it would be if it were chronological).

pick127/150 Before IMDb or Rotten Tomatoes, there was Gene Siskel and Roger Ebert, THE gold standard in movie criticism. I followed their show from its roots at a local Chicago PBS station, then on to syndication to a national audience. I didn't always agree with their reviews, but I admired their love of movies, and the intelligent and thoughtful way their expressed their opinion. Their cantankerous, combative and competitive ⬇️⬇️
