After watching 100+ movies, TV series, and K-dramas in 2021, I'm sharing my top 3 picks in each category (with maybe also a few additional honorable mentions ;)).

Netflix's original Korean series "Squid Game" has become an unexpected global hit, topping the most-watched lists in 90 countries and becoming the first Korean show to hit No. 1 on Netflix in the US. A violent thriller, the show revolves around a survival game where contestants compete in children's games with deadly consequences. Tune in to learn more about the show that everyone is watching.

With summer upon us, so many new shows and movies are making their premieres. Tune in to hear about the three films and shows I enjoyed the most this past June: the hit HBO crime drama and Kate Winslet-starrer "Mare of Easttown," Lin Manuel Miranda's fun and vibrant musical "In the Heights," and the suspenseful Korean drama "Mine."

Here comes another round of film and TV recommendations from yours truly! Tune in to hear about the intense political thriller "Miss Sloane," which stars Jessica Chastain as a cold, successful DC lobbyist; the documentary "Sing Me a Lullaby," which tells the incredible, true story of a girl reconnecting her mother with her birth family; and the Korean drama "Navillera," which is about an elderly man pursuing his dreams of becoming a ballerina.

The 2021 Oscars have come and gone in a ceremony unlike any other, thanks to the pandemic. Tune in to hear the highs, low, and awkward of this year's Academy Awards, followed by a quick intro to the eight nominees for Best Picture: Nomadland, Sound of Metal, Mank, The Trial of the Chicago 7, Judas and the Black Messiah, Promising Young Woman, Minari, and The Father.

We're a quarter way through 2021, so I wanted to share my favorite watches of the year thus far. Tune in to hear my top 3 films and shows: the Oscar nominated "Promising Young Woman," the indie thriller "Run," and the Korean drama "Penthouse."

Join me and my friends Winnie and Tiff as we chat about two romantic comedies that we watched in celebration of Valentine's Day: "To All The Boys: Always and Forever," which is the final installment of Netflix's "To All The Boys" film series, and "It Happened One Night," which is a 1934 film that has been ranked as the #1 rom com of all time on Rotten Tomatoes.

One of 2020's most anticipated films, Pixar's "Soul" landed on both Disney+ and theaters Christmas Day and has since become one of the buzziest animated films this season. The first Pixar film to feature a Black male lead, "Soul" tells the story of Joe, an aspiring jazz musician who unexpectedly embarks on an adventure into other worlds to find answers to life's big questions. Join me and my friends as we share our honest thoughts on the film and dive into its details.
