Hello, Movie Mavens! Welcome back to the B Movies Blog. Today, we’re popping the work of Pedro Pascal into the ol’ VCR.

On April 2, 1975, José Pedro Balmaceda Pascal was born…but you probably know him better as Daddy. Shit, I mean Pedro Pascal. 

Pedro Pascal was born in Santiago, Chile, where his father was part of the Castilian-Basque aristocracy. A couple of years before he was born, the Chilean government was overthrown and became a dictatorship, so his parents were declared enemies of the state. 

Pedro Pascal’s family received asylum in Denmark, later immigrating to the United States. He then lived in San Antonio, Texas before moving to Orange County, California. 

Pedro Pascal went on to attend and graduate from the Orange County School of the Arts and then attended Tisch (aka NYU’s Tisch School of the Arts) and graduated in 1997. 

His acting career started with appearances in shows like Buffy the Vampire Slayer and The Good Wife, but Pedro Pascal’s career had a rocky start. 

He took a series of small jobs and would sometimes receive money from Sarah Paulson, who has been a close friend of Pedro Pascal’s for decades. 

Pedro Pascal began to receive critical acclaim after his performance in the play, Orphans, and went so far as to win the Garland and Los Angeles Drama Critics Circle Awards for his performance. 

From there, Pedro Pascal would direct several plays including Killing Play and underneathmybed, as well as writing the play Flaca Loves Bone. 

Then, in 2014, his career would finally hit the mainstream when he played Oberyn Martell in Game of Thrones. 

After his role on Game of Thrones, Pedro Pascal would go on to star in shows like Narcos, The Mandalorian, and The Last of Us, not to mention films like If Beale Street Could Talk, The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent, and, most recently, Gladiator II. 

In addition to all of his acting credits, I wanted to give Pedro Pascal a spotlight because of his outspoken support for the LGBTQIA+ community and unwavering support for his sister, Lux. 

There’s not much more that I can say about Pedro Pascal that hasn’t already been said. 

Pedro, if you ever read this, thank you. 🖤

Without further ado, here’s some of my favorite Pedro Pascal content: 

• Gladiator II 
• The Last of Us 
• Drive-Away Dolls 
• The Mandalorian 
• Buffy the Vampire Slayer (the TV series)

Hello, Movie Mavens! Welcome back to the B Movies Blog. Today, we’re popping Waffles + Mochi into the ol’ VCR. 

Much like Nanalan’, I love Waffles + Mochi. 

I was in a depressive episode a few years ago, and I was looking for something to help me get through it. 

That’s when I found Waffles + Mochi. 

Waffles (who is part frozen waffle, part yeti) and her best friend Mochi (a ball of Mochi) are major foodies but live in a land with only frozen food. 

However, when they get a job at Michelle Obama’s grocery store (the show was produced by the Obamas’ production company, Higher Ground Productions, and they’re both executive producers as well), Waffles and Mochi get to travel across the world to meet chefs, try new foods, and learn about ingredients. 

TL;DR – it’s wholesome and precious. 

Created by Jeremy Konner and Erika Thormahlen, Waffles + Mochi premiered on Netflix on March 16, 2021 with 10 episodes, followed by a spinoff show called Waffles + Mochi’s Restaurant where the pair opened their own restaurant, and a holiday special called Waffles + Mochi: Holiday Feast. 

Both shows feature a variety of celebrity guests and chefs, including Kirby, Jack Black, and Rashida Jones. 

I also want to shout-out Viva La Puppets, who made the puppets, because Waffles was designed to be able to actually “eat” the food she was trying. Michelle Zamora, Waffles’ puppeteer, would try the food as well so that she could authentically react to the tastings. 

The only negative thing about Waffles + Mochi I can think of is that Sia does do one of the voices in the show, and with some of the ableist and controversial things she’s done in the past, I think the choice to cast her is questionable at best.

I know that Waffles + Mochi is technically a children’s show, but I think we need all the good things we can get right now. 

If you need a break from all of the existential dread, hop in Waffles and Mochi’s magic shopping cart and learn to appreciate tomatoes. 

And, you know, you can’t beat watching a Mochi puppet wear both goggles and reading glasses.

Hello, Movie Mavens! Welcome back to the B Movies Blog. Today, we’re popping Hot Frosty into the ol’ VCR.

Listen… 

I was confident that I was going to hate this movie. 

I was so confident, in fact, that I started writing jokes during the opening scene.

For example: 

“Part Jack Frost, part A Mom for Christmas, and part Life-Size, Hot Frosty is a full-on nightmare.” 

And 

“Can someone PLEASE check in on Dustin Mulligan to make sure he’s okay? And also, maybe, touch his abs for me while you’re there?” 

(Seriously, I don’t know what kind of Patrick Bateman-ass routine this man does in the morning, but MY GOD) 

But, friends, in an absolutely insane turn of events, I actually…really enjoyed this movie. 

I know. I’m just as surprised as you are. 

I wound up getting so invested in this movie that I even FUCKING GOOGLED THE ENDING HALFWAY THROUGH, just to make sure this little mansicle made it out alive because I don’t think my heart could’ve taken it if he didn’t. 

But, I’m getting ahead of myself. 
For those unfamiliar, Hot Frosty tells the tale of Kathy (Lacey Chabert), a young widow who is gifted a scarf from the (clearly bisexual) couple who owns the local thrift store. The ice sculpture, who affectionately comes to be known as Jack (Dustin Mulligan), comes to life, where he reminds the town that kindness goes a long way, all while helping Kathy through her grief.

Talk about ice sculpture 🤤

Based on this premise, you’re probably wondering how/why I enjoyed this movie so much. 

Let me explain. 

Firstly, this movie is HORNY. Like, BLATANTLY HORNY. 

As in, there’s a gag where Jack helps push a car out of the snow with more double entendres than a Sex and the City episode. 

It’s not Sabrina Carpenter horny, but I’d put it close to A Bad Moms Christmas horny. 

The ladies in this town need a Bellesa promo code STAT. 

I digress. 

Secondly, and most surprisingly, I’m not mad about the writing. 

I actually really like how Kathy’s character is written, and there’s a lot of good commentary about grief. 

Kathy’s character isn’t helpless but is self-aware about her situation and communicates as much to Jack.

With how horny the rest of this movie is, I’m honestly proud of them for not making a rectal thermometer joke 

Jack also isn’t some stereotypical Christmas leading man, either. 

Jack’s written as a genuinely good dude who hypes up everyone in town, including Deputy Sheriff Ed Schatz (Joe Lo Truglio), when he confides in Jack that he doesn’t think he’s attractive. 

There’s also that great little Mean Girls nod when Kathy says Lindsay Lohan looks like a girl she went to high school with. Y’all know I’m a SUCKER for a good Easter egg. 

We also get a Pretty Woman montage ref. 

There’s the extremely clever ATM footage plot point. 

But, I do feel like there was the missed opportunity to make a Party of Five joke. 

Kathy owned a cafe with a hostess stand, for crying out loud.  

Thirdly, I don’t know whose idea it was to put Craig Robinson and Joe Lo Truglio together as our Rosencrantz and Guildenstern of sorts, but kudos. 

ACAB, though.

This ice sculpture is honestly giving, “We have Dustin Mulligan at home” 

And finally, I love how this entire town is like, “Yeah, he’s a genuinely good guy, so we’re cool with him being a snowman.” 

It’s…so crazy how this town just accepts Jack for who he is… 

These people were so welcoming…

And just accepted Jack being a snowman… 

And didn’t seek to inflict hate or cruelty on someone different… 

That’s WILD. 

Now, this obviously isn’t Oscar-worthy cinema by any means. 

I’ve never heard the word “galoshes” used so many times in a movie. 

Additionally, this movie brings me to the horrific realization that snow people are sentient and essentially suffer from locked-in syndrome? 

That also begs the bigger question of whether or not they feel pain. 

What an unsavory can of worms we’ve opened here. 

What in the name of Twilight is this lighting, though?

Kathy’s husband’s medical charts also seem to have been written in a Comic Sans-esque font, which is troubling to say the least. 

Additionally, Jack’s clothes all seem to have been ordered straight out of a Bongo catalog (which actually does make sense, knowing that all of his clothes were bought from the aforementioned bisexual* thrift store owners). 

* Disclaimer: this is me joking/speculating, so please don’t come for me when you watch this movie and it’s not an actual plot point. 

Finally, I want to know how Jack learned to channel surf because the alternative is there’s some cat/cooking/vampire movie channel or streamer that I need to subscribe to. 

All in all, Hot Frosty is the horny snowman movie we didn’t know we needed. 

There are so many horrible things going on in the world, so, y’know what? Yeah, I’m gonna tell you to watch a movie where a traditionally good looking man is genuinely kind and is accepted by a town for being a snowman. 

P.S. I put “get a hot girlfriend” on my 2025 goals, so if you see me putting scarves on inanimate Christmas decorations, no you didn’t.

Hello, Movie Mavens! Welcome back to the B Movies Blog. Today, we’re popping movie recommendations to pair with your favorite hot beverages into the ol’ VCR.

We’re so back. 

Today, I would like to formally introduce you to a new series in the B Movies universe: Side-Dish Cinema.

Y’all LOVED the piece we did a while back where I recommended movies based on your astrological sign, and it got me thinking about how we could expand this idea. 

Then, everything fell into place. 

And, that brings us to the inaugural entry of Side-Dish Cinema. 

The weather is cooling down…kind of. 

(Is the reality of global warming really sinking in for anyone else?) 

That means that you’re more than likely sipping on your favorite hot seasonal beverage (or, if you’re a little rebel like me, slurping down a giant blended concoction while shivering). 

Drink in hand, you pick up the remote and go to pick a movie. 

But what should you watch?

That’s where Side-Dish Cinema comes in. 

I’ve carefully selected nine different drink options with three movie recommendations each to cultivate a specific vibe (and that vibe is definitely skewing toward holiday movies). 

And don’t worry, I have so many entries of Side-Dish Cinema planned that you’ll basically be covered for every food and drink-type out there. 

Alrighty, that should do us for introductions and disclaimers. 

Without further ado, please enjoy the first edition of Side-Dish Cinema:

Hello, Movie Mavens! Welcome back to the B Movies Blog. Today, we’re popping some time travel horror movies into the ol’ VCR.

Man, I wish I could time travel. 

I mean, I understand the concepts of timelines collapsing and how the tiniest of actions could cause catastrophic events, but still. 

You could potentially stop devastating world events. 

You could help a loved one get a diagnosis sooner. 

You could stop yourself from begging for a chili bowl haircut as a kid. 

The possibilities are endless. 

However, for some of our favorite horror heroes, time travel wasn’t just a possibility…it was required in order for them to learn a valuable lesson (or to find out that the woman you were living with was actually a serial killer). 

That’s why I’ve assembled a list of six of my favorite time travel horror movies for us to live vicariously through. 

And somehow, much to no one’s surprise, more than half of them are also dead mom movies?

I don’t know why I’m like this, either…

…but I have a sneaking suspicion it has to do with the fact my mom is dead. 

(KP would’ve laughed at that joke, so please feel free to laugh along with me) 

Alrighty, that should do us for introductions and disclaimers. 

Without further ado, here are six time travel horror movies that would make Bill and Ted say, “Excellent!”

• Totally Killer 
• The Final Girls
• Happy Death Day
• Army of Darkness
• Last Night In SoHo
• Happy Death Day 2 U 

Hello, Movie Mavens! Welcome back to the B Movies Blog. Today, we’re popping the work of Kirby into the ol’ VCR.

On October 23, 1987, Kirby Howell-Baptiste, or Kirby, was born. 

I couldn’t find a lot about Kirby’s early life, outside growing up in London and having attended/performed in the Anna Scher Theatre.

Kirby’s career started with an appearance in an episode of Holby City, as well acting in a variety of short films.

Over the years, Kirby has appeared and/or starred in shows like Barry and Hacks, and movies like Silent Night and Cruella. 

She’s also one of those actors that I always get excited to see in the cast list. 

There’s not much more that I can say about Kirby that hasn’t already been said. 

Kirby, if you ever read this, thank you. 🖤

Without further ado, here’s some of my favorite Kirby content:

• Love 
• Barry 
• Hacks 
• Cruella 
• Silent Night 
• The Good Place 
• Waffles + Mochi 
• Comedy Bang! Bang! 
• Scott Pilgrim Takes Off

Hello, Movie Mavens! Welcome back to the B Movies Blog. Today, we’re popping some female and femme-presenting superhero and villain movies into the ol’ VCR.

Okay, listen… 

I don’t necessarily know how to characterize the movies in today’s piece. 

All of these selections have badass women ranging from the hero to the villain (with some landing somewhere in-between). 

Almost all of these are based on some sort of graphic novel or comic series, and I feel like they all share a similar spirit. 

I also feel like this piece is a spiritual sequel to Friday’s piece, as an underlying theme is female/femme-presenting rage. 

Additionally, I still stand by Jennifer Garner’s Elektra because a) she was, for sure, part of my gay awakening and b) if it had today’s Marvel money, it would’ve been a hit. 

I digress. 

I would also like to take a beat to plug The People’s Joker.

If you haven’t seen Vera Drew’s surreal, Adult Swim diary entry of a film, I truly can’t recommend it enough. I saw it twice in the theater, and if it hadn’t been blocked from distribution out of sheer ignorance for as long as it was, it would be in my 10 favorite movies of the year. 

Seriously, I can’t recommend it enough. 

Alrighty, that should do us for introductions and disclaimers. 

Without further ado, here are nine badass female and femme-presenting comic/graphic novel-esque…

…just watch these: 

• Elektra 
• Cruella 
• Tank Girl
• Catwoman 
• Birds of Prey
• Sucker Punch
• Captain Marvel 
• Batman Returns

Hello, Movie Mavens! Welcome back to the B Movies Blog. Today, we’re popping the work of Melissa Barrera into the ol’ VCR.

On July 4, 1990, Melissa Barrera Martinez was born in Monterrey, Nuevo León, Mexico but you probably know her better as simply Melissa Barrera. 

Melissa Barrera attended both Tisch (aka New York University Tisch School of the Arts) and the American School Foundation of Monterrey. 

Like the subject of a lot of our spotlights, she also acted in many school productions over the years. 

Melissa Barrera first appeared on television in 2011 in a Mexican singing reality show called La Academia. From there, she would go on to release an album as part of a duo called Melissa y Sebastian, and perform the theme song for the telenovela, Tanto amor. 

When Melissa Barerra was attending Tisch, she appeared in her first film, L for Leisure, and a year later, she would appear in the telenovelas La mujer de Judas and La otra cara del alma. 

She would then go on to star in the telenovelas Siempre tuya Acapulco in 2014 and Tanto amor in 2015. 

In 2018, Melissa Barrera’s career in the US took off with lead roles in the show Vida (Life), followed by Scream (2022), and the film adaptation of In the Heights. 

In 2023, Melissa Barrera would be fired from Scream 7 due to her advocacy for the Palestinian people during the ongoing genocide. I give Melissa major props because she has continued to speak up about the genocide, share links and resources, etc… 

And, I think that’s extremely badass, especially considering the outcome of this election. 

There’s not much more that I can say about Melissa Barrera that hasn’t already been said. 

Melissa, if you ever read this, thank you. 🖤

Without further ado, here’s some of my favorite Melissa Barrera content: 

• Abigail
• Scream VI
• Scream (2022)
• In the Heights 

Hello, Movie Mavens! Welcome back to the B Movies Blog. Today, we’re popping female rage movies into the ol’ VCR.

If you’re like me, you’re angry. 

Like, really, really angry. 

And, on top of channeling that rage into activism, you probably need some sort of distraction. 

Well, friends, do I have the list for you. 

I’ve grabbed some of my favorite female rage/revenge movies (which we obviously mean to work for anyone, regardless of how you identify) to help you both relax while also remembering to not lose that spark. 

Also, there is triggering content in most of, if not all of these movies. 

As always, please double-check the CWs/TWs for all of these movies before watching or have a trusted friend watch them for you. 

Alrighty, that should do us for introductions and disclaimers. 

Without further ado, here are 10 movies to watch to channel your female rage, but also unwind(?): 

• Teeth 
• The Craft
• MaXXXine 
• Do Revenge 
• Carrie (1976)
• Kill Bill: Vol 1
• Kill Bill: Vol 2
• American Mary
• Inglourious Basterds
• Promising Young Woman

I’m scared. 

I’m scared as a person with a uterus. 

I’m scared as a queer woman. 

I’m scared as someone who relies on birth control as a way to ease excruciating pain up to two weeks out of a month. 

I’m fucking scared. 

I stayed up all night on Election Night. 

I started crying as soon as the first polls reported because I knew in my gut that he had won. 

I just knew. 

However, I also don’t think the Democrats are blameless here. 

I’ve voted Democrat in every election I’ve been eligible for. 

But, there were a lot of mistakes here. 

Truly. 

I’m a firm believer in not putting anyone on a pedestal. 

I’m a firm believer that we should hold people accountable. 

I believe that we’re funding/fueling a genocide. 

I believe that Harris refusing to answer direct questions about trans rights was a ploy to try to get the moderate vote and absolute bullshit. 

I believe that Biden waited way too long to drop out. 

The list goes on and on. 

But, I wasn’t scared at the thought of a Harris/Walz term like I am at the thought of this one. 

Fuck you if you voted for Donald Trump. 

I mean that with the most disrespect. 

Moving on. 

Even though I’m terrified, I’m not going to stop talking about the issues that matter on the blog or the channel. 

Even though I sincerely called my brother-in-law this morning and asked him if he would be my co-signer if my rights were stripped away to have my own bank account. 

Even though I worry that I could have essentially what serves as my pain medication taken away. 

I have to remember that I’m still white and straight passing. 

I have to remember that I have options. 

I have to remember that I still have to fucking fight. 

I will continue to use this platform to talk about important issues. 

I will not hide who I am as a person. 

I’m scared, but… 

I’m also ready to stand up for what’s right. 

I’m also ready to take care of the LGBTQIA+ community that’s always taken care of me. 

I’m ready to fight on behalf of people with a uterus. 

I’m ready. 

Check in with each other. 

Rest up. 

We have a lot to do.
