SHOWS
i dont think i can put into words how much i LOVE this show. i started watching critical role in 2021 (probably WAY too young to be watching it at the time, but whatever) and it's never really left my brain since then. i started with the mighty nein, averaging like 4 or 5 episodes a week at my peak, which is crazy considering i was in school for like eight hours a day. critical role was my teenage girl special media. this was the shit i talked about to my uninterested friends at recess, who i drew fanart of on whiteboards and stayed up late watching clip compilations of and reading fanfiction. holy shit i love critical role. it introduced me to d&d, the friends i made through d&d, fan culture, and in a way, made me feel more comfortable expressing myself and my interests.
in my mind i like to think im like bocchi, but im not good at the guitar and im pretty social. that being said, it's incredible how bocchi the rock is able to connect with so many people simply by illustrating the desire to be a part of a group, a community, and doing what you love. the characters are so distinct and unique while still forming a great group of friends that play to each other's strengths and weaknesses. ive always had a soft spot for bocchi ever since i binged it in a night while i was really sick lol. the soundtrack and original songs are also so FREAKING PEAK actually holy shit these have integrated themselves into my regular playlists. i am so fucking excited for season 2 hopefully itll still be good under a new director !!
MUSIC
guahh i found these guys through spotify shuffle (and NOT the sims trailer with nothing matters unfortunately i dont play the sims) but ive been listening to them since arounddddd 2024? TLDP has absolutely amazing sound in both their albums; i think what drew me to them initially was their super unique aesthetic and style not only musically but visually as well. I was fortunate enough to see them live in 2026 for their From the Pyre tour (with florence road holy freaking moly!!!!!) and i dont think i'll ever forget the experience. Abigal has such an amazing stage presence, probably one of the best frontwomen in music right now. Both albums (Prelude to Ecstasy, From the Pyre) go so fucking hard with basically no skippable tracks (yes even woman is a tree and ghuja, they are such beautiful transition tracks) im suuuper looking forward to what they put out in the future and best believe i WILL be seeing them on tour again
title: Supergirl (2026)
director: Craig Gillespie
consumption date: July 17 2026
rating: ★★★★☆
my notes: had high expectations off Superman 2025 along with the fact Milly Alcock made a great impression with me off press tour & the end of superman. She played the character so so well (though I havent read the comics yet so i'm not too good of a judge she is with comic accuracy) Honestly the plot could have been a little more interesting and at times I felt like it dragged on a bit. Soundtrack definitely saved it though, except for the last song at the end. interesting choice and made me laugh a little (in like a weird awkward "what?" way) overall great performance by milly alcock and i really hope we get to see more of her in man of tomorrow
title: Companion (2025)
director: Drew Hancock
consumption date: July 11 2026
rating: ★★★☆☆
my notes: honestly i only wanted to watch the movie because 1, sophie thatcher because that woman is incredible and 2, i heard the whole idea/social issues of it are pretty similar to obsession (women's autonomy, also a thriller). overall the plotline and everything was pretty interesting, HEAVYYY foreshadowing in the beginning (chekov's gun type shit) and the movie was paced a lot faster than i thought it would be. I was yelling at Josh at the end, actor and writers were VERY good with his character. Glad Iris got revenge and the end sequences were super fun!! Overall not a bad movie
title: Project Hail Mary (2026)
director: Phil Lord, Chris Miller
consumption date: May 16 2026
rating: ★★★★☆
my notes: with all the hype of "sign of the times" on insta, i thought the song would have a bigger play in the movie, but i guess that's just social media loving harry styles. really great movie, im not even a ryan gosling fan but flowkey he rocked (HAHAHAHA) in this movie. rocky is such a silly little guy!!! i expected to get more emotional in the theatre since i have a record for crying at movies but i didnt, it just made me super existential and i guess reminded me of the vastness of space and also dying.
