"Take Yourself Home" and "Easy" helped me get through 2020. The only bad thing about this EP is that it's too short.

I've enjoyed Lisa Loeb's music since first hearing her on the radio way back when, and this album's no exception. She never strays too far from the light hearted, pop-rock mold, so if you loved the one or two hits she was known for in the 90's ("You say...I only hear what I want to..."), you should check this one out.I've enjoyed Lisa Loeb's music since first hearing her on the radio way back when, and this album's no exception.

My first thought: The Hunger Games meets Jurassic Park with a Western theme, but the children/dinosaurs are androids that gradually gain more and more self-awareness. Intriguing, layered storylines that beg you to binge, but this is best taken slowly, as there are details you don't want to overlook.My first thought: The Hunger Games meets Jurassic Park with a Western theme, but the children/dinosaurs are androids that gradually gain more and more self-awareness.

Big boney, super fast alien creatures with sharp toothy mouths that will get you when you make the slightest sound. That. Is. Creepy. A suspenseful, terrifying 90 minutes.

THE most adorable, #ownvoices, YA love story. Felipe, a gay teen in Brazil with body image insecurities, just wants to enjoy his winter break away from his bullying classmates. But that plan is ruined when he finds out his very attractive neighbor Caio will be staying with him for 15 days. It’s not all bad, though, as they get to know each other and Felipe opens up, gains confidence and even begins to love himself.

This is an adorable, quirky film about a dysfunctional family that comes together to help one of their own achieve a goal. Some dark humor, but lots of heart and an important message about mental illness.

If you love Stranger Things, then you should check out this album inspired by the show! A hint of the 80's with meaningful lyrics and refrains that get stuck in your head. Pop at its best.

Oh, this one's gorgeous. You'll fall in love with the characters and learn so much about a dark, yet significant and hopeful era in queer history. Highly recommended, especially if you stan the 80s, Madonna, and New York City!

Great voices, thoughtful lyrics, fun music. This collection makes me wish I would have paid better attention to the Dixie Chicks twenty years ago. They're supposedly working on a new album, so I'm looking forward to hearing it.

A fast paced action comedy with a fair bit of violence and crudeness. Mila Kunis and Kate McKinnon are a hilarious pair. The plot is a little hard to follow, but I found it entertaining nonetheless.

Who knew you could love a robot so much? WALL-E and EVE are adorable, and so much is accomplished with this movie in terms of storytelling and messaging with little to no dialog. One of my favorite Pixar films.

The scene where Gwyneth Paltrow steps off the Green Line bus and "These Days" by Nico plays. Forever memorable. If you enjoy dysfunctional families, absurd situations, and dark comedy, this film is for you.

You will adore Ben De Backer! This is a much needed Own Voices story about a non-binary teen's struggle with coming out to unsupportive parents and dealing with anxiety and mental health issues.

Jewel is a talented songwriter, and this album really showcases both her skill with lyrics and her voice. If you appreciated the lo-fi Jewel of Pieces of You and the 90's, you'll enjoy this collection of original and standard lullabies.

This is the queer, genderbent, SciFi retelling of the legend of King Arthur you didn't know you wanted. It'll draw you in and have you begging for more. Fortunately, there's a followup due out next year. READ IT!

Though it strays from the Han Solo back story those who grew up with the expanded universe came to know, I personally enjoyed this film and think it's a fine addition to the Disney Star Wars canon. The visual effects were great, and new characters and story line intriguing.Though it strays from the Han Solo back story those who grew up with the expanded universe came to know, I personally enjoyed this film and think it's a fine addition to the Disney Star Wars canon.
