Raine On Your Parade

So we’re back again pretty soon. Yay me for being productive. Boo this guy who stops by the home of Dr. Owens to show him some pictures of Chrissy and Owens is like so you’re just going to let the local police think that poor metal head kid did this? And Sullivan is like I think it was a girl our government traumatized, we’re clearly the good guys and Owens is like we shouldn’t have ever taken thi...

So we are back in Hawkins, and California and Russia… geez! Hopper is alive! this reveal is meh… and how did he survive the lightening bolts of disintegration? Umm… he fell down? Max wakes up from a nightmare into a daymare when she sees the head cheerleader has been pretzeled and de-eyed. Yikes. A plane lands in California, and two teenagers wait on theguy they are both obsessed with and he is th...

Life imitates art and I even heard a little girl cheer when Glinda slapped Elphaba and I was like "WHAT?!?" At best Glinda starts the second film as what is comparable to a Nazi sympathizer... no matter her reasoning (which is that she likes getting stuff and being praised, not a very convincing excuse) She's not a good person at the start of the film... there is a seed of good but i...

We are back so soon with a few new characters and adventures for season 4 of Stranger Things So in 1979 which was FOUR YEARS before Eleven opened the gate and Will was taken to the upside down, remember that for all the scenes that ever take place in Hawkins lab for this season, they are ALL in 1979! Brenner is showing off to himself how smart he is with a crossword puzzle and then going to work t...

So we are back for the finale and El uses all her powers to be extra badass and pull a piece of the mindflayer out of her leg. AFTER Jonathon spends what feels like an hour with his hand INSIDE her leg... it's so gruesome and it literally makes me cry. She's so brave! And she gets it out and throws it to Hopper who steps on it like "don't mess with my daughter BITCH!" Erica c...

Mayor Kline starts us off by quoting Hammond from Jurassic Park and the nerve of this guy, you are not John Hammond, you a-hole. Karen is trying to force Ted into having fun and he calls it torture and she says that's what makes it fun considering my entire life is serving you and these kids, I deserve one fun DAY TED! Well she doesn't say that out loud but I know she's thinking it. Th...

Well look who's being super patriotic to cover up the fact that he's destroying the town by colluding with Russians... It's the mayor, Tru- I mean... Larry... hmmm... Scoops Troop is still miles down under the mall and unsurprising to no one, they get caught... BUT the teens are good people who send the younger kids out for help but really they are sacrificing themselves to save the ki...

It took the Scoops Troop and entire week to get to the bottom of this elevator shaft. Steve pees on the wall and it's gross. Erica thinks she's going to drink some green sludge like she thinks it will make her a ninja turtle instead of just killing her. Hopper almost blows Joyce up for speaking to any male in the world. And this Russian scientist is the second one in a week. Joyce you slut...

We start with the sweetest scene of Max explaining Wonder Woman to Eleven and it's a win for feminism... Mrs Driscoll wants to go to the rat farm really really badly but little does she know they no longer farm rats there, they are harvesting souls mwahaha and are getting nothing from Tom because he never had one... Hopper is NAKED and Joyce is embarrassed and probably tired after lugging him...

We start off at a slumber party in a cabin in the woods where El uses her psychic abilities to spy on people and she gets scared of a fart and a possible murder. This is not the babysitters club people, this slumber party is almost as weird as the ones in Jessica Jones (inside joke with myself) Hopper comes home drunk and stood up but he's happy his daughter is making out with Max instead of M...

Named after my favorite Kevin Smith film. I guess that makes Eleven- Silent Bob and Max-Jay? Just like Mallrats, we don't start at the mall, we start at the rat farm where Billy is running away seemingly unharmed, because of racist white male privilege probably. Mike lies to Eleven because as we find out, just because "friends don't lie" it doesn't mean boyfriends don't,...

FINALLY, I return to give everyone what no one asked for... my opinions... tee hee Had a hard and busy year, mostly bad stuff but some good, I love my new husband!! (so far ;) ) Now back to Stranger Things We start in Russia, where right off the bat several people are fried by white rose's machine... oops wrong show... anyway the terminator kills a scientist and they say comrade a million times......

I wanted to do an episode dedicated to my dad who passed this last summer, it's been a rough couple of years for me. He loved all kinds of movies but this one kept popping into my mind and by the time I got around to starting it, it was spooky season so it fits nicely. "Now they know that we know that they know that we know."

Carla Gugino? Ted Wheeler? Cole Sprouse? Mary Shelley? A PINK house? How could I NOT cover this on the podcast? Okay Cole Sprouse could have the best chemistry with a lamp... thankfully in this movie we have Kathryn Newton who I haven't seen before this movie but I LOVE her... this cast is top notch... this movie is so FUN and colorful and a pink house with a teal door... it's like it was...

what started out to be a podcast about Lisa Frankenstein turned into a rant about Riverdale, I promise I'll get to Lisa Frankenstein next episode

The season two finale, finally. Mike pulls a Noah from the notebook "I 'wrote' every day for a year" And El tells him she telepathically left him on 'read' and hopper takes the blame so Mike beats him up and hopper lets him because he's emotionally intelligent El sticks her thumb in Dustin's mouth and her cold shoulder at Max Nancy and Jonathon get steamy again bu...

Travel back with me to the 90s to enjoy one of my favorite guilty pleasures... This movie has a lot going on, but most of it is super fun and unexpected, it goes against a lot of stereotypes and introduces us to Carla Gugino, which is like so awesome. The acting is really good, and yes lots of people complain about Pauly Shore but is he really that bad? Really? He's at the very least adorable....

Back to the lab again... oops there goes Rabbit... aka Hopper "Who let the dogs out?" Sorry corny music jokes aside... So we come back to the lab and the dogs are busting through and this is an action movie for bit. Joyce asks Will who she is and he hesitates to she stabs him... Well with a needle to put him to sleep, his true dad (Hopper) comes and picks him up Out in the woods Lucas an...

Hi Barbie! I want — to make meaning — not be the thing that's made. I want to do the imagining — I don’t want to be the idea. Oh I went in excited for the PINK PINK PINK BARBIE GIRL PINK movie and came out with an existential crisis lol (but in the best way) Thank you Margot, Thank you Greta and Thank you Ruth, Thank you Barbie and all the Barbies out there And Ken is just Kenough lol

We start off with Eleven trying to track down her "sister" aka another child Brenner kidnapped, in case we forgot what an evil monster that guy was (is?) El finds her in Chicago and overhears Aunt Becky (have mercy) tattling on her to Flo at the Hawkins police Dept. El then starts her episode-long crime spree by stealing Becky's money and getting out of there, leaving Terry in her dr...

WHAT IS WRONG WITH MY BOY???? well he's a liar is one of the things... lol but no that's not really his fault but still, naughty Steve gives Dustin terrible dating and hair advice while tossing raw meat around... Max calls Lucas a mormon and Billy gets more buff and (Im assuming) racist by the second... Mike is a good friend but more importantly for this episode he's a smart friend Jon...

I lay it all out there, next episode will be about Stranger things, I promise... just wanted to give an explaination as to where I've been

Hopper should make some 'don't be stupid' rules for himself because once again he's got himself into mortal danger and no one even knows where he is... thankfully Mike and Joyce are... well they don't really do anything but they do know Bob and Bob is good at puzzles so he has to be a superhero and figure out that the scribbles all over Joyce's house are a map of Hawkins... thanks Bob... and at th...

Will finds out exactly why everyone says smoking is bad for you. Eleven does some redecorating at the cabin Will helps Joyce redecorate her house again this time with terror puzzles and coldness Nancy is the smartest person ever!! Mike is being so kind to Will that he has to balance it by being a jerk to max for no reason We find out that Billy is a straight up racist, so no one should be defendin...

The pic says it all, "Dustin!" This episode should have been titled, "poor choices" Eleven is proving how "not stupid" she is by breaking every single "don't be stupid" rule. Dustin is breaking his own "don't be stupid" rules by harboring a visitor from the upside down who was a stowaway aboard the SS Will Byers... Mike is mean to Max for literally no reason, Steve gets jealous of Jonathon and Nan...
