  • Side-Dish Cinema: Pairing Sodas With Movie Recommendations

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

    Y’all, I’ve missed this so much. 

    Welcome to another edition of Side-Dish Cinema, the series where we pair movies with your favorite foods and beverages. 

    And today, I’ve curated nine pairings based on sodas. 

    The only thing to note is that, unlike Lights, Camera, Albums, we sometimes do repeat movies on these lists because they’re just too good not to pair. 

    Plus, there are a lot more movies to pair in these pieces than in Lights, Camera, Albums.  

    Alrighty, that should do us for introductions and disclaimers. 


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

    Dr. Pepper 

    Root Beer 

    • Silverado 
    • Tombstone
    • True Grit (2010)  

    Coke

    • Babes 
    • Oh, Hi 
    • My Old Ass 

    Mountain Dew

  • A Collection Of Memories: Some Of My Favorite Childhood Books

    Hello, Movie Mavens! Welcome back to the B Movies Blog. Today, we’re popping my favorite childhood books into the ol’ VCR. 

    I was a voracious reader as a kid. 

    I read everything from books to magazines, and my sister and her friends would give me newspapers to read aloud on command, like a show dog, because I started reading from a really young age. 

    It’s not that I don’t love reading as an adult, but I just don’t have the same amount of time I used to. 

    Plus, there aren’t AR points and/or pizza parties on the line. 

    I’ve tried to get better the past couple of years, and I still read a new Stephen King every October. 

    I’ve even started getting to the movie theater a little early so that I can read a few extra pages. 

    So I thought it would be fun today to take you back to the days of the Scholastic Book Fair and share some of my favorite books from my childhood. 

    (I’ve also been getting some tattoos from my favorite childhood books, so I think this is really fitting)  

    Now, I’m going to include both picture and chapter books on this list, but we’re going to make the cutoff around 6th-ish grade, so you won’t find some of the books I loved as a teen on here. 

    But never fear, I want to do a piece later on where I talk about my favorite things as a teen, so we’ll include them there. 

    We’ve also done a piece about some of the books on this list before, but we’re going even further back in this one.  

    Alrighty, that should do us for introductions and disclaimers. 

    Without further ado, here are 10 of my favorite childhood books: 

    • Strega Nona 
    • Define “Normal” 
    • Chrysanthemum
    • The Ghost of Fossil Glen*
    • The Junie B. Jones series
    • The Witch of Blackbird Pond 
    • Lilly’s Purple Plastic Purse
    • Sideways Stories from Wayside School
    • The Amazing Days of Abby Hayes series 
    • The Adventures of the Bailey School Kids series

    *I actually started writing a titular sequel to this book after the first time I read it, and I’m so sorry that I can’t share those lost pages with you because they’re gold.

  • Unpack Your Adjectives (And Origins): Let’s Talk About Schoolhouse Rock!

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

    As a kid, no other educational cartoon ever hit as hard for me as Schoolhouse Rock! did. 

    From how our political system works (or should work) to grammar rules, I watched in awe as a cavalcade of animated characters taught me about the foundational things I needed to know. 

    As an adult, I still listen to the cover album Schoolhouse Rock! Rocks regularly and even got a Schoolhouse Rock! tattoo last year to honor “Sufferin’ till Suffrage.” 

    I’ve been curious about the origins of Schoolhouse Rock!, so I thought I’d do a little research and share both my findings and some of my favorite songs with you. 

    Because, y’know, the ol’ Rock! is one of the reasons I love learning to begin with. 

    So without further ado, let’s dive in. 

    Schoolhouse Rock! was initially the brainchild of an advertising exec named David McCall; McCall’s son was having difficulties with math but could memorize song lyrics with ease. 

    He reached out to Bob Dorough to write a song to help his son with math that would eventually evolve into “Three Is a Magic Number,” and Tom Yohe, who was an illustrator at the same firm as McCall, created some designs for it. 

    Then, Radford Stone, who was a writer and producer at ABC at the time, encouraged the group to pitch a television series. That pitch caught the attention of both Michael Eisner and Chuck Jones, and the rest is history. 

    While Schoolhouse Rock! first debuted as a full show in 1973, “Three Is a Magic Number” actually came on the scene in 1971 as a clip in the educational cartoon Curiosity Shop

    The only bummer is this original version has never been broadcast or released, but the longer song can be heard on the show’s soundtrack. 

    The original run of Schoolhouse Rock! spanned from 1973-1985, but the show’s entire run includes two revivals: one from 1993-1996 and a brief stint in 2009.* 

    *The latter run only included direct-to-video content. 

    Over the entirety of its run, Schoolhouse Rock! blessed us with Multiplication Rock, Grammar Rock, America Rock, and Science Rock (among other things), teaching many of us basic math, sentence structure, and governmental workings (again, as they should be). 

    But in my opinion, not all the songs are created equal. 

    My favorite Schoolhouse Rock! songs

    That’s right, friends. 

    We’ve reached the part of the program where I share with you some of my favorite Schoolhouse Rock! songs. 

    But before we dig in, I wanted to get on my soapbox for a second.

    Schoolhouse Rock! is a prime example of how a) the arts are vital to education and b) how kids learn in different ways. 

    I’ll always be a proponent of arts programs because I was in band for six years, and it definitely taught me endurance, discipline, and collaboration, among other things. 

    Additionally, listen to your kids. I know I don’t have children, but if you notice that your kid learns better with music, visuals, etc…, help them find a learning style that’s conducive to their needs instead of trying to force them into a box they don’t belong in. 

    Okay, I’m done. 

    Without further ado, and in no particular order, here are my top five Schoolhouse Rock! songs:

    • “I’m Just a Bill” 
    • “My Hero, Zero” 
    • “Conjunction Junction” 
    • “Sufferin’ till Suffrage”
    • “Three Is a Magic Number”

  • What The El?: My Thoughts On The Stranger Things Finale and Conformity Gate

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

    If you’re anything like me, you’re probably still in disbelief that Stranger Things is actually over.* 

    *Don’t worry, we’re gonna touch on Conformity Gate. 

    Over the course of 9 years, 42 episodes, and the bulk of my 20s, we watched Hawkins, Indiana, act as a supernatural mecca that a group of ragtag kids sacrificed their childhood to protect. 

    To really put things in perspective, over the course of the show’s run, I started my career, had the biggest two heartbreaks of my life, founded this here blog, and lost KP. 

    That’s how much life was lived over the course of this show’s run. 

    Not to mention all of the nightmares we’ve endured over the past decade. 

    But, I digress. 

    Now, I’m going to say a few things here, and I want to remind all of you from the top that I love this show. 

    I even have a Stranger Things tattoo and gallery wall in my kitchen. 

    BUT, we need to talk about a couple of things, mainly the finale. 

    Remember, this is all my opinion, and just because I like something doesn’t make it good, and just because I don’t like something doesn’t make it bad. 

    Okay, so here’s the deal: I didn’t hate the finale. 

    Do I think it was safe? Yes, but I was satisfied. 

    Plus, as many of you know, I think Purple Rain is one of the best albums of all time, so I was downright giddy that they used it for two different needle drops. 

    Also, what happened needed to happen because it was the only option that allowed everyone to move on. 

    (I’m trying to avoid spoilers where I can) 

    I even ugly cried in two different scenes. 

    I think the issue some people are having is that we’ve romanticized Stranger Things into something it isn’t. 

    Stranger Things was never meant to be groundbreaking television; it’s meant to be an homage to movies of the 80s a lot of us grew up watching. 

    With how much time has passed between seasons, it’s easy for our perception of the show to change. 

    Don’t get me wrong. Some seasons (and episodes) are stronger than others, but I’ve always seen Stranger Things as, to quote Smosh, Kids on Bikes content. 

    I also think that It: Welcome to Derry isn’t helping its case. 

    Welcome to Derry is one of the best horror shows I’ve seen in a hot minute, and it’s also not afraid to take some of the big swings that the Duffer Brothers won’t. 

    What it boils down to is we had an arguably better Kids on Bikes show dovetailing into Stranger Things, and I think it’s hard not to compare them. 

    You’re absolutely allowed to be disappointed or dissatisfied, and I’m not here to say otherwise, but those are just a couple of theories I have around all of the internet discourse. 

    And speaking of the internet, we have to address Conformity Gate. 

    For those whose algorithm isn’t completely diluted like mine, Conformity Gate is the theory that the finale of Stranger Things isn’t actually the finale, and the real finale is set to drop tomorrow, January 7th. 

    The basis for this entire theory is that the epilogue is actually set in Mike’s mind, and Vecna wasn’t defeated in the nice and tidy way we were led to believe. 

    I’m going to try to keep the next couple of sentences as spoiler-free as possible, but if you want to play it safe, skip to the paragraph that starts with “Now.”

    Since Mike is the only Wheeler untouched by Vecna, fans are convinced it’s finally Mike’s turn to succumb to his torture. 

    “Evidence” ranges from multiple background actors wearing Vecna’s glasses during graduation to Vickie’s character not seen or mentioned after the army base scene, and the final scene mirroring the end of The Truman Show, which shows Truman leaving his fabricated reality.  

    And, I gotta tell you, the evidence is honestly really compelling. 

    Y’all know I’m a sucker for theories and Easter eggs, so I’m eating this up. 

    However, one theory has become my favorite as of this morning. 

    Gregory Lawrence, aka greggfriedrice on Instagram, has thrown out a theory that the number 7 we’ve seen sprinkled throughout the season and other Stranger Things companion content doesn’t represent January 7th but rather the seventh film in the Nightmare on Elm Street series, New Nightmare

    While Netflix hasn’t confirmed the existence of a new episode, they HAVE announced a documentary dropping on January 12th called One Last Adventure: The Making of Stranger Things 5. 

    Greggfriedrice’s theory is that Vecna is going to break out of the Stranger Things series, much like Freddy Krueger does in New Nightmare, making the documentary the actual finale. 

    And, I can’t get enough of this theory. 

    How cool would it be for us to get a meta send-off for a show comprised of pop culture reference after pop culture reference? 

    Now, do I necessarily believe this is the case? 

    No, I don’t. 

    But, with all of the horrible things going on in the world, I think it’s okay for us to have some fun here. 

    I think the Duffer Brothers are great about including fun little breadcrumbs, but I don’t necessarily think it means we’re getting another finale. 

    At best, I think we’ll get some sort of spinoff news or preview tomorrow. 

    But, I mean, Stranger Things have happened. 🤷

  • My Favorite Movies Of 2025

    Hello, Movie Mavens! Welcome back to the B Movies Blog. Today, we’re popping my favorite movies of 2025 into the ol’ VCR. 

    Well friends, we survived 2025. 

    The world is an absolute dumpster fire, so let’s talk about some movies to make ourselves feel better for a fleeting moment. 

    I feel like I say this every year, but horror won out for me in 2025.  

    From multiple (great) Stephen King adaptations to reimagined vampires, and everything in between, horror (and horror-adjacent) movies took the majority of my top spots for the year. 

    That’s not even including the other mentions on my top 20 horror faves list. 

    But, speaking of that list, I think it’s time for a couple of disclaimers, starting with my world-famous one… 

    …Just because I think a movie’s good doesn’t make it a good movie, and just because I think a movie’s bad doesn’t make it a bad movie. The movie-making process is stressful, and I think it’s badass that people do it (unless it’s offensive). 

    Also, yes, I know some movies are included in both lists. As I mentioned earlier, horror reigned supreme for me this year, so some of my favorite movies are also some of my favorite horror movies. 

    Lastly, I did miss a couple of horror movies that generated some big buzz like It Ends, What Happened to Dorothy Bell?, and Bone Lake, but I hit as many as I possibly could, and I’ll cover them as I continue to knock them off my watch list. 

    Alrighty, that should do us for disclaimers and introductions. 

    Without further ado, and in no particular order, here are some of my favorite movies from 2025: 

    My 10 Favorite Movies of 2025

    • Oh, Hi 
    • Sinners 
    • Weapons 
    • Companion  
    • The Plague
    • Rental Family
    • The Long Walk 
    • Bring Her Back
    • No Other Choice 
    • The Rule of Jenny Pen 

    Honorable Mentions 

    The last few weeks of the year significantly changed my rankings, so I’d like to throw out some honorable mentions that all couldn’t be more different.

    Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery is the best Knives Out film in the series so far, and I love the mirror it holds up to religion as a whole. 

    I’d also like to shout out the first 80-85% of Bugonia. The majority of the issues I have all lie within the third act, and if things had been left a bit more ambiguous, it would’ve been in my top 10.

    And finally, I do have to give Wicked: For Good its flowers. I called that I would love the second Wicked because it has the darker elements, and I was 100% right; I even saw it in theaters twice. I don’t know if I would say it’s one of the best movies of the year, but it is one of my personal faves. 

    My 20 Favorite Horror Movies of 2025 

    • Drop 
    • Opus 
    • Sinners

  • I Assure You, We’re Open!

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

    Okay, Movie Mavens. 

    I owe you a huge apology. 

    To be totally honest, I lost sight of the things I enjoyed doing last year, including B Movies. 

    I never planned on B Movies going on hiatus for as long as it did, but I allowed myself to use being busy as an excuse to not do the things I’m passionate about. 

    I fell into a cycle of making dinner, doing my skincare, and watching TV before bed. 

    Rinse and repeat. 

    Sure, I still made it to the movies most weekends and hung out with my friends when I could, but, for the most part, I let myself slip into a creative rut. 

    And, unfortunately, that meant B Movies also fell to the wayside. 

    Now, I can’t promise you there won’t be times we’ll need to pause B Movies in the future or take a break or two occasionally, but I promise I’m not going to neglect B Movies to this extent again. 

    I love writing and talking about pop culture here and on YouTube, and I don’t want to lose this little community we’ve built. 

    So, I hope you’ll forgive me for our absence and join us, once again, on this journey. 

    We’ll go back to our regular programming come Monday (January 5th) with my top favorite movies of 2025. 

    Here’s to a movie-filled 2026, Movie Mavens. 🖤

  • Sloppy Seconds: Seriously Bad Sequels

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

    Okay, before we begin, I feel like this piece requires one of my famous disclaimers: 

    The great thing about movies is that we can discuss and debate them. 

    Just because I think a movie is great doesn’t make it a good movie, and just because I think a movie is awful doesn’t make it a bad movie. 

    Also, making a movie is extremely difficult and incredibly badass, and I don’t want to detract from the process. 

    Moving on. 

    There are times when the sequels supersede the original movie, a la Terminator 2: Judgement Day

    But sometimes, sequels just don’t quite hit the same way the original does. 

    The subjects of today’s piece fall into the latter. 

    Now, here’s the deal: Do movies like Grease 2 have a special place in my heart because they’re high camp? Yes. 

    Am I saying that these movies aren’t enjoyable? No. 

    They just noticeably pale in comparison to their predecessors. 

    I’ve also defended some sequels that are characterized as “bad,” so y’all don’t come for me.  

    Alrighty, that should do us for introductions and disclaimers. 


    Without further ado, here are 10 bad sequels that’ll leave you scratching your head: 

    • Alien 3
    • Grease 2 
    • Mean Girls 2
    • Highlander 2 
    • Batman & Robin
    • Pet Sematary Two 
    • Jaws: The Revenge 
    • Speed 2:Cruise Control
    • Boondock Saints 2: All Saints Day
    • Halloween: The Curse of Michael Myers
  • Perished Pilots: We Need To Talk About The Buffy Animated Series

    Hello, Movie Mavens! Welcome back to the B Movies Blog. Today, we’re popping a new series/the animated Buffy the Vampire Slayer series into the ol’ VCR.

    Okay, I’d officially like to submit a new series to the Midnight Society for approval: Perished Pilots, a series where we talk about all the shows that never were. 

    And friends, I have a great inaugural entry for you. 

    I haven’t been shy about the fact that I grew up watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer as a kid, and there are still lines my sister and I quote from it to this very day. 

    However, I only recently discovered the animated Buffy the Vampire Slayer series that almost was, and we need to talk about it. 

    But before we dive in, I need to give a brief disclaimer. 

    Joss Whedon is trash, and I don’t condone any of his (alleged) actions. 

    I’m only mentioning him here is because the cast said they wouldn’t return to Buffy without Joss Whedon, but most, if not all, of the cast have since condemned him based on all of the things he (allegedly) did. 

    As we all know, a Buffy reboot is underway without his involvement, and I can’t wait to see how it turns out. 

    Moving on. 

    Work on the animated series began in 2001, and the entire cast, except for Sarah Michelle Gellar, had signed on, with Buffy being voiced by Giselle Loren, who had previously voiced the character in other media. 

    The original plan was to release the series on Fox Kids*, but when Fox Kids was dissolved, Fox was unable to find another home for it. 

    *Note: We’re definitely doing a piece on Fox Kids soon because I forgot how unhinged their programming was. 

    Three years later, Fox discussed reviving the series, and a pilot was produced to shop the show to other networks. 

    Unfortunately, other studios believed it was too adult for children’s programming, but also couldn’t hold its own with older audiences, so it was never picked up. 

    Then, in 2005, Joss Whedon (barf) said the series was officially done for. 

    According to an interview with Jeph Loeb in 2009, all of the materials from the series were still in existence, so, in theory, the show could resume production at any time. 

    However, as I mentioned earlier, in 2017, the cast said that returning for any reboots or spinoffs would depend on Joss Whedon, who publicly squashed any hopes for new Buffy series when he stated that he was done with Buffy. 

    So, it seems like the animated series is dead for the foreseeable future. 

    But, Joss Whedon out of the picture, and a reboot on the way, I’m holding out some hope.

  • “The Rest Is Confetti”: A Spotlight On Mike Flanagan

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

    On May 20, 1978, in Salem, Massachusetts (I’m so serious), Mike Flanagan was born. 

    He spent his childhood moving around the country until graduating from Archbishop Spalding High School and later graduating Towson University. 

    During his studies at Towson University, Mike Flanagan made several student films; however, his early films surprisingly weren’t horror films, but rather leaned towards melodrama. 

    Then, in 2003, he directed his first horror film, Ghosts of Hamilton Street, followed by his first horror short film, Oculus: Chapter 3 – The Man with the Plan, in 2006. 

    In 2011. Mike Flanagan released Absentia, which went straight to video, but found its audience on Netflix (foreshadowing much?) 

    After Absentia’s unexpected success, he finally found a studio (Intrepid Pictures) that agreed to let him shoot a full-length version of Oculus, which hit theaters in 2014. 

    From there, Mike Flanagan directed films like Ouija: Origin of Evil, Hush, and Gerald’s Game before what’s considered to be mainstream success with his adaptation of Shirley Jackson’s The Haunting of Hill House. 

    After the success of his first show, he went on to release adaptations of Henry James’s The Haunting of Bly Manor, Edgar Allan Poe’s The Fall of the House of Usher, and Christopher Pike’s The Midnight Club, as well as his original series, Midnight Mass (my personal fave). 

    Mike Flanagan started his own production company in 2024 called Red Room Pictures and joined Amazon Studios, where he currently has TV adaptations of both Carrie and The Dark Tower series in the works. 

    Additionally, his latest film, The Life of Chuck, an adaptation of the Stephen King short story of the same name, releases next month, and his installment for The Exorcist franchise is set to release next March. 

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

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

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

  • Game On: Some Of My Favorite Game-Centric Movies

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

    One thing about me?

    I love a good game. 

    Be it Werewolf or Candyland, I’ll play ‘em all. 

    If you know me, you know I’m a “I just hope everyone has fun” kind of gal. 

    But sometimes, games bring out my competitiveness in a way that often surprises people. 

    As we know, I’m a big Smosh fan, and I was catching up on some Smosh Games videos when I realized we’ve never talked about game-centric movies. 

    These are movies that are either a) based on some sort of game or b) are about some sort of fictional game. 

    Either way, the game is crucial to the plot. 

    Now, I went back and forth on whether or not to include Ouija-based movies in the list, but I ultimately decided to tackle that subgenre in another piece. 

    Alrighty, that should do us for introductions and disclaimers. 

    Without further ado, here are seven of my favorite game-centric movies: 

    • Tag 
    • Clue 
    • Jumanji 
    • Game Night 
    • Open Graves
    • Ready or Not?
    • Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves
