January 2019 was sooooo bad. Thankfully, the world of pop culture kept our spirits high during the first month of the new year.
Listen to me ramble on about it over on Soundcloud!
Here are a few highlights from the podcast (yes, I’m trying to get comfortable calling it that now):

Before we begin this October Favorites post:
IF YOU ARE ELIGIBLE TO VOTE AND HAVE NOT YET DONE SO, KINDLY DROP EVERYTHING NOW AND GO TO YOUR POLLING PLACE. YES, IT’S THAT SERIOUS. GO FREAKING VOTE. LIKE, NOW. THANK YOU.
With that out of the way, let’s just jump right into my favorites in pop culture and entertainment for October 2018.
Favorite News Articles
1. Reese’s set up a candy converter in NYC for all of your unwanted treats. Goodbye, Necco wafers.
2. Netflix is developing a TV series and new films for The Chronicles of Narnia! My binge-watching chair is ready.
3. Meghan Markle is pregnant. The Duke and Duchess of Sussex were not kidding when they said they wanted to have children right away!
4. David Schwimmer’s doppelganger is a thief. #ItWasntRoss
Favorite Music
1. “Panoramic Girl” by Young the Giant. Strangely, this beautiful ballad is the only song I really like from their new album.
2. NYLA by Fancy Feelings / Animal Feelings ft. Anya Marina. Thanks for reminding me that at this time of year I’d rather be in LA for a mild autumn.
September 2018 is one of those months I’d prefer not to remember. It just reinforced my hatred for politics.
Anyway, let’s just jump right into my favorites in pop culture and entertainment for September, shall we?
Favorite News Articles
1. #DoTheLilo. Umm, okay, sure. Idk if this dance will really catch on here though, Lindsay. Maybe in Greece?
2. A live action version of Avatar: The Last Airbender is coming to Netflix! I coincidentally JUST finished watching the animated series with my bf 😀
3. Maroon 5 is performing for half-time at Super Bowl LIII. I AM SO HYPE.
Favorite Music
1. “Entropy” by Supa Bwe ft. Dounia. The fact that this featured artist is from Queens is making this even more amazing for me!
2. “Damn” by Christine and the Queens. “What must a woman do?” you ask? Where do I begin?
I’ve been super tired over the last couple of days, so I’m going to keep this monthly favorites post short and sweet so I can take a nap.
Without further ado, here are my favorites in pop culture and entertainment for August 2018.
Favorite News Articles
1. It appears LeBron James might run for president in 2020 or something?
3. Meet Paul Flart, farting security guard and Instagram sensation.
4. Reese Witherspoon threw some ice cream at Meryl Street on the set of Big Little Lies…
5. Twilight is back in theaters for its 10th anniversary!
Favorite Music
June was a mix of mourning and adventure.
We lost two great figures, one from the fashion world (Kate Spade) and another from the food industry (Anthony Bourdain). This really made everyone wake up and realize that mental health is a serious issue plaguing our society.
There were, though, a few amazing things that happened in June. Let’s rewind my favorites in pop culture and entertainment last month:
Favorite News Articles
1. WE ARE ALL FURIOUS FACTIOUS POT WASHERS. Thank you, The Cut, for calling me out on my inherent nature to get pissed off about and mull over nonsense.
2. John Legend is not having it with this child separation situation. So don’t dare ask him about Sarah Huckabee Sanders’ dinners. You won’t like the answer.
3. Saudi women are now licensed to drive! Or, rather, can now obtain a license to drive. Either way, it’s about damned time!
4. An overdue congratulations is in order for Ariana Grande and Pete Davidson. I think they’ll be fine if they get comfortable in their engagement for a year and a half or so.
Favorite Music
1. “TV in the Morning” by DNCE. Ugh, yes please. So smooth, so right.
