RYE LANE (2023): A Glorious Rom-Com with Some Frenetic Editing

These two things are true: I thoroughly, thoroughly enjoyed the romantic comedy Rye Lane (2023), but the somewhat frenetic editing, especially at the beginning, put me off to such a degree that I almost stopped watching. Just like one person’s tired clichés can be another's comforting throughlines, one person's edifying artistic interjections can be another's … Continue reading RYE LANE (2023): A Glorious Rom-Com with Some Frenetic Editing

WELLMANIA. (2023): Soft on Wellness Satire, But High on Bingeability, Comedy, and Relatability.

I mostly know the star of Wellmania, Celeste Barber, from her hilarious and humanizing spoofs of celebrities' Instagram posts. For example, there could be a highly edited nude picture of the model Emily Ratajkowski where her arm is draped across her breasts while a pink, heart-shaped leaf perfectly covers her pubic area.

CLASS OF ’07 (2023): A Fairly Tasty Apocalyptic Series

At this point, it seems that apocalypse-themed series come in nearly every flavor imaginable. In the case of Class of '07, an Australian series that follows a group of women trapped at their Catholic boarding school when a world-ending wave makes landfall during their reunion, the results are, for me, a bit mixed. It's like … Continue reading CLASS OF ’07 (2023): A Fairly Tasty Apocalyptic Series
