We are kicking off 2026 with Manic Pixie Dream Girl month! Wooo, it’s gonna be interesting. We’re starting with the instigator of the term – Elizabethtown and we Get. Into. IT.
(plus, how are running shoes designed?? So many questions)

We are wrapping up another holiday movie month (and another year whaaaaat?) with the incredibly good Last Christmas. Warning – we do spoil this movie AND it gives you a LOT of feelings – plus there are just so many George Michael songs (complimentary).

We are wrapping up body swap month with 17 Again! It’s definitely the least ooshy when it comes to weird age gap relationships but don’t worry the aughts make up for it by just being terrible in other ways – and we aren’t jut talking about Zefron’s swoopy bangs.

It’s 13 Going on 30 this week! It’s just as charming as Big – but without the ooshy ness (yay!). Plus incredible 80’s music, Andy Serkis’ first post LOTR role (maybe??) and the most tropes we’ve ever had?!?!?!
