“So, I Was Watching…” Adult World on Tubi

Season 2 Finale. One of my favorite films is on Tubi. In "Adult World" Emma Roberts plays Amy, "a naive college graduate who believes she's destined to be a great poet, begrudgingly accepts a job in a shop while she pursues a mentorship with reclusive writer Rat Billings." Directed by Scott Coffey and written by Andy Cochran, John Cusack, Cloris Leachman, John Cullum, Reed Birney, Catherine Lloyd Burns, Shannon Woodward, and Armando Riesco all appear in the film.

Since 1999 we’ve followed the lives of Harper (Taye Diggs), Robyn (Sanaa Lathan), Jordan (Nia Long), Lance (Morris Chestnut), Quentin (Terrence Howard), Shelby (Melissa De Sousa), Candace (Regina Hall), and Murch (Harold Perrineau) in the “The Best Man” franchise written and directed by Malcolm D.

“So, I Was Watching…” The White Lotus season 2 on HBO

HBO's award-winning series The White Lotus created by Mike White returned for its anticipated second season on October 30 on HBO and HBO Max. The series transpires over the course of a week at The White Lotus resort and spa and follows the exploits of its guests and employees. In the first episode, a death is teased and in the final episode the audience finds out who it is. 

Season one centered on money and class among the guests and employees at The White Lotus Hawaii and in season two we traveled to Sicily as the season centered on sex and intimacy. I love this show so much and was so excited to talk about all the mayhem that happened in the season and this time on “So, I Was Watching…” the discussion was grouped by the characters of the show.

Twihards, this episode is for you!

On November 16, 2012, the world stood still for the fandom when the Twilight Saga concluded with the release of Breaking Dawn Part 2 in theaters. 10 years later and we are still triggered by the trauma of Carlisle losing his head, still questioning imprinting, laughing at Chuckesmee, and still liking the rain girl! In this episode, I'm joined by a fellow Twihard (my sister Trini) as we discuss the saga as a whole and think back on seeing Breaking Dawn Part 2 in the theaters for the first time surrounded by other Twilight fans.
