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

Friends, I’ve been wanting to launch this series for over a year, but it never came to fruition… until now. 

Presenting: Lights, Camera, Albums 

Similar to the Taylor Swift Eras piece I did a few weeks ago, I’m going to choose an album and recommend a movie to accompany each song. I already have three other albums selected, and I can’t wait to share them with you all. 

I’m not going to go into as much detail as I did with the Taylor Swift piece, but I’ll give you a brief look into the method behind my madness, and we’ll talk about it a little more over on YouTube. 

Additionally, you should know that my brain sometimes works in mysterious ways. Just roll with it. 

For the first piece in Lights, Camera, Albums, I chose to tackle folklore for a couple of reasons. First and foremost, I’ve written about Taylor a couple of times now, and I’ve gotten into a really good flow with connecting her music to pop culture. Secondly, folklore lends itself really well to these comparisons because there’s so much storytelling within the lyrics. Thirdly, I just really love this album. 

Without further ado, let’s dive into the inaugural piece in my Lights, Camera, Albums series. 

“the 1” as Past Lives 

Past Lives is all about the connection we have with another person, even if we don’t end up marrying that person within this lifetime. Taylor’s recounts of a past love align perfectly with the feelings of both admiration and sadness that Greta Lee’s character feels throughout the film. 

“cardigan” as Definitely, Maybe 

Surprisingly, this pairing took me the longest. April (Isla Fisher) and Will (Ryan Renyolds) first meet when they’re in their 20s. April is the stereotypical quirky girl, and Will is the slightly uptight intern. Their relationship is strained for years, but they ultimately come back together in the end. I like to think “cardigan” is a representation of the story Will tells his daughter and how he reminisces about April. 

“the last great american dynasty” as Fried Green Tomatoes 

I know these don’t mirror each other line for line, but I think there are a lot of similarities within the two. Ruth (Mary-Louise Parker) and Idgie’s (Mary Stuart Masterson) relationship really shakes up their small town, which becomes a ghost town after the events of the film. Their story also inspires Evelyn (Kathy Bates) to finally stand up for herself, which is similar to Taylor Swift purchasing Rebecca’s house and continuing the tradition. 

“exile (feat. Bon Iver)” as Marriage Story

I think this is one of the more obvious connections. When I was listening to folklore for this piece, I immediately saw it from the perspectives of Charlie (Adam Driver) and Nicole (Scarlett Johansson). 

How I feel hanging out with anyone under the age of 26 

“my tears ricochet” as Blue Valentine 

This was another immediate connection for me. Blue Valentine still destroys me to this very day, and I can’t watch it very often. I think this song is unique to this list, however, because I think it could technically be sung from either Cindy (Michelle Williams) or Dean’s (Ryan Gosling) perspective. 

“mirrorball” as Boogie Nights 

I know this one is a bit of a wildcard, but hear me out. The lyrics of “mirrorball” remind me of the excessive nature of the late 70s, and there are lyrics that make me think of both Rollergirl (Heather Graham) and Amber Waves (Julianne Moore). 

“seven” as Bridge to Terabithia 

I know that the kids in Bridge to Terabithia are a little older than the kids in the song, but I think it really encapsulates the feeling and themes of this movie. 

“august” as Dirty Dancing 

This was another easy pairing for me. Baby (Jennifer Grey) and Johnny’s (Patrick Swayze) romance probably wouldn’t exist outside of Kellerman’s, but, for one summer, they have a whirlwind relationship that they’ll both probably remember for the rest of their lives. 

1989 (Taylor’s Version) 

“this is me trying” as The Spectacular Now 

I like to think this is the conversation Sutter (Miles Teller) had at the bar after leaving Aimee (Shailene Woodley) at the bus stop. 

“illicit affairs” as Call Me By Your Name 

Elio (Timothée Chalamet) and Oliver’s (Armie Hammer, unfortunately) relationship is kept discrete, and, ultimately, Elio is left heartbroken because he’s able to accept himself in a way Oliver can’t/won’t. I feel like “illicit affairs” would fit nicely into the soundtrack, especially towards the end of the film. 

“invisible string” as Serendipity 

This is another given. Serendipity is all about fate and trusting the universe. Jonathan (John Cusack) and Sara (Kate Beckinsale) find their way back together through a book and a glove, and it personifies the idea of the “invisible string” Taylor Swift sings about. 

“mad woman” as The Craft 

I 100% think this song was written after Taylor Swift watched The Craft. “mad woman,” at least in my humble little opinion, is sung from Nancy’s (Fairuza Balk) perspective, and is initially aimed toward Chris (Skeet Ulrich), but then the focus shifts to Sarah (Robin Tunney). 

I really want them to open for boygenius.

“epiphany” as Saving Private Ryan 

I like to think of “epiphany” as a retelling of the stories that Private James Ryan (Matt Damon) told his children and grandchildren, with the “some things [he] just can’t speak about” being some of the horrific events from the film. 

“betty” as The DUFF 

Before we go into the explanation, I want to say that The DUFF is supremely underrated, and you should watch it immediately. I see “betty” from Wesley’s perspective (Robbie Amell), and refers to seeing Bianca (Mae Whitman) before her date with Toby (Nick Eversman). Wesley winds up making out with his ex-girlfriend, which Bianca sees, and this song is the result of him finally making a move. 

“peace” as Spring 

I don’t know how well known Spring is, so I think this might be a deep cut. Spring tells the story of Evan (Lou Taylor Pucci) and Louise (Nadia Hilker). Looking for a way to clear his head after a personal tragedy, Evan travels to Italy, where he meets Louise. 

After a one night stand, Louise’s, shall we say, complex background is revealed, and she finds herself having to make a difficult decision. I see this song from Louise’s perspective as she tries to explain everything to Evan. 

“hoax” as A Star is Born 

A Star is Born has been remade so many times, but the story always remains the same. The couple has a toxic relationship, and, unfortunately, the male lead always winds up dead. 

I think the correlation here works on two levels: from the perspective of the female lead in the relationship, and the perspective of the female lead after their partner has died. “hoax,” to me at least, tells the story of a toxic relationship that the singer just can’t give up, which is the nexus of A Star is Born. 

Austin & Ally (2011)

“the lakes” as Offseason

I know this is another strange pull, but again, I can’t help how my brain works. Maria (Jocelin Donahue) visits a remote island where she’s quickly pulled into a Lovecraftian nightmare. Based on this synopsis, you might be asking yourself how on Earth this connects to “the lakes.” 

1. It’s set in a coastal town. 
2. Maria is part of a prophecy. 
3. SPOILER: The townspeople can’t leave and encourage visitors to leave to avoid getting trapped like they have. 

I’m interpreting the lyrics of “the lakes” to be sorrowful instead of a lament about fame, and I promise you if you watch Offseason and squint, you can see what my brain did.

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

Now, friends, I’m not the authority on music biopics. 

I tend to watch more content about music like Almost Famous and Daisy Jones & the Six than I do content about musicians in particular.

While I definitely need to expand my music biopic horizons, a question was asked in a Disgraceland After Party episode about favorite music biopics, and it got my gears turning. 

I know that this list is measly, but I wanted to write about this topic, damn it. 

In no particular order (and excluding some big ones because I haven’t seen them and told y’all I don’t write about things I haven’t seen), here are my favorite music biopics: 

• Walk the Line 
• Purple Rain 
• Elvis & Me 
• Rocketman 
• 8 Mile 
• Selena 
• Coal Miner’s Daughter 

However, I want to give an honorable mention to tick, tick…BOOM! I know Jonathan Larson was a playwright, but I think the music he wrote was so innovative and so, for lack of a better word, unique that it’s worth the mention. Plus, Andrew Garfield is brilliant in it. 

I know this list may be a bit measly, but I’m working on it. 

I hope this list didn’t strike a chord for all of you 🥴

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

Now, friends, there aren’t very many Thanksgiving-themed horror movies, but I do think there are a handful that should be recognized. Additionally, with the upcoming release of Eli Roth’s Thanksgiving, based on his infamous trailer from Grindhouse, I think we need to give some love to the few Thanksgiving horror movies we’ve been blessed with over the years. 

The first dish on the table should be an obvious one: Blood Rage. John Grissmer’s 1987 cult classic tells the tale of Terry and Todd, twin boys…one with a penchant for murder. A decade after his wrongfully committed brother breaks out of his confinement, Terry goes on a murderous rampage on Thanksgiving. Blood Rage may be an over-the-top pleasure, but it’s not cranberry sauce. 

Next up we have ThanksKilling and ThanksKilling 3. And yes, you read that correctly; there is no ThanksKilling 2 — it’s a whole bit. I discovered ThanksKilling by complete accident in high school, so, naturally, I showed it to every single person I knew.*

*Note: The trailer is age restricted, so y’all are on your own here. 

It’s one of the most ridiculous movies I’ve ever seen, and I still have to fight the urge to quote it to this very day. You can imagine my surprise when I found there was actually another ThanksKilling. While the first is my favorite, ThanksKilling 3 is still a fun time. And where else can you find a turkey wearing a man’s face, a la Hannibal Lecter? Fair warning, this movie is very Troma-esque, so viewers beware. 

Yes, this is a real scene from ThanksKilling that I have, in no way, altered. 

Move over the mashed potatoes to make room for Pilgrim. Born from Blumhouse’s Into the Dark anthology series, Pilgrim is a new edition into the Thanksgiving horror subgenre. Long story short, a family looking for an “authentic” Puritanical Thanksgiving gets more than they bargained for after hiring reenactors. This little gem is often overlooked, but it’s worth the watch. 

Lastly, I hope you saved room for one last side. I know Black Friday takes place the day after Thanksgiving, but it’s close enough that I thought I’d count it. Also, it has both Devon Sawa and Bruce Campbell in it, so there’s no way I wasn’t going to include it. I digress. 

Black Friday tells the story of a ragtag group of retail workers who must band together after an infestation turns already unpleasant customers into zombie-like creatures. Think Night of the Consumers meets Shaun of the Dead with a sprinkling of Night of the Creeps. 

Thanksgiving is a time for stuffing your face and remembering how terrible our ancestors were. But, it’s also a time to consume the few horror releases we’ve been given over the years.

Eat up, movie mavens.

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

I’m not sure if it was because the 60s and 70s were such a pivotal influence on the 90s or what, but we sure did love The Brady Bunch for a hot minute. 

From The Brady Bunch Movie and A Very Brady Sequel to the “Sunshine Days” episode of The X-Files, we were obsessed. I mean, who could forget A Very Brady Christmas, the 1988 classic where Mike Brady was stuck in a collapsed building while all of his children had major life crises? 

Who among us didn’t steal the book Bradymania from our sister as a child?

Hell, even our beloved Gilmore Girls references The Brady Bunch Hour in the episode where Rory receives her Harvard application. 

Why were/are the Bradys so beloved?

I think, first and foremost, they’re familiar. The Brady Bunch has been parodied and referenced so much within pop culture that I’d argue it’s one of the most well-known shows of all time. 

Secondly, I think it’s an easy form of escapism. The Brady Bunch was the “perfect” blended family. Even when Marcia’s nose was flattened like a pancake, we just chalked it up to the antics of the Brady boys. 

I love that Nick at Nite basically revolutionized AI for a Brady Bunch bumper. 

There was always a resolution, and the stakes were so incredibly low that there was no stress. The storylines were simplistic (not in a bad way), and the clothes were downright groovy. 

I also think that’s why it was so easy to make fun of. The perfection and naivety of The Brady Bunch is so unbelievable that it spawned two parody movies that some of us (me) still quote to this day. 

The Brady Bunch is a pop culture behemoth, and I don’t think it will ever go away. Sure, the references have slowed over the years, but most of us are still familiar with Jan’s unhinged jealousy and Marcia’s narcissistic tendencies. We’re still left wondering where both Tiger and Cousin Oliver disappeared to. We’ll never understand how Carol Brady’s hair stayed in place. Essentially, The Brady Bunch is a major social experiment as to what withstands the sands of time. 

Now, if you’ll excuse me, I’m joining my boyfriend, George Glass, for dinner. 

Funko read Jan for FILTH.

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

Now, friends, I know that when I’ve done past spotlights, I’ve listed some of my favorite movies within a director’s oeuvre, but I can’t do it with Robert Rodriguez. 

Whenever I tried to pick out my favorites, it simply became a list of his work. 

Since the only person I have to answer to is Elliott (and I think she’s more than okay with it), we’re going to shake the spotlight format up a little bit, making this more of a love letter to a director I respect and admire. 

I’m secretly terrified that this is how I sound every time I write about someone I admire. 

Robert Rodriguez is one of my favorite directors of all time. From Planet Terror to The Faculty to even Spy Kids, I’ve always been a big fan. 

I love how he’s worked within multiple genres, but there’s still no denying you’re watching a Robert Rodriguez film. His ability to add a gritty and Grindhouse-y feel to a film while still keeping each storyline unique is just *chef’s kiss*. 

Additionally, his more surprising credits, i.e., Billie Eillish’s Happier Than Ever: A Love Letter to Los Angeles special and the music video for Lady GaGa’s “Rain on Me” still have his distinct feel to them. 

If only “Unwritten” had been released a few years earlier

He’s one of those directors that I get excited to see new work from, and I’ve seen his horror movies, specifically, countless times. 

I know that Robert Rodriguez writes and makes movies, and I just write about movies and pop culture, but he definitely inspires me, and I appreciate his works more than I can adequately express. 

Talk about making those boys go loco, amirite?

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

Listen, friends, I won’t drag this out. Stranger Things has become a cultural phenomenon, and there isn’t a lot about it that hasn’t already been said. 

However, I love this show, so I wanted to write a little piece about Stranger Things to give it its dues. 

Stranger Things premiered back in the summer of 2016, and it was an instant hit. The mixture of 80s nostalgia, horror, and sci-fi set it up for success. 

Like everyone else, I was immediately taken by Stranger Things. I have my fair share of merch, and I’ve decorated my windows with the famous string light alphabet for Halloween. Recently, I even got a Stranger Things tattoo from my artist. 

For a series that pays homage to so many films, Stranger Things does an excellent job of still creating original storylines that are entertaining to watch. Also, if you didn’t sob at Hopper’s letter to Eleven, I can’t help you.  

Stranger Things also harbors a deeper meaning for me because the second half of Stranger Things 4 was the last thing I watched before I found out my mom was going to die. I’ll spare all of you the jokes I made as a coping mechanism about it.

To lift the mood back up, I want to give my definitive ranking of the seasons, and it might honestly shock some of you (she said knowing it probably won’t). My current ranking of the Stranger Things seasons is: 

• 1 
• 2 
• 4
• 3

I know people rag on Stranger Things 3, but I enjoy it. I’ll fully admit that Stranger Things 4 is objectively better though. I also cried more in 4, so there’s that. 

Stranger Things 5 will give us an ending to this particular arc in Hawkins, but I’m excited to see what other stories The Duffer Brothers have in mind for our beloved universe. They’ve promised us more stories from the world of Hawkins, and you know what they say, “Friends don’t lie.” 

Hello, Movie Mavens! Welcome back to the B Movies Blog. Today, we’re popping Nora Ephron’s You’ve Got Mail into the ol’ VCR. 

You’ve Got Mail is a quintessential fall movie for me. I know we cycle through all of New York’s seasons, but, like Waitress, it’s just always been a fall watch. I hate to throw this word out, but it’s honestly charming. 

I’ve never been to New York, but I can feel the cool air on me as the characters walk through the streets. It’s also so endearingly 90s, and the sound of dialup at the beginning is borderline triggering. 

I know this is a hot take, but it also happens to be one of the only Nora Ephron movies I actually like because I hate Sleepless in Seattle. Man, it feels good to get that off my chest. 

I heard that the teddy bear retired from acting and now teaches classes at NYU. 

I know this is an adaptation of Ernst Lubitsch’s The Shop Around the Corner, which I found out in my research is actually an adaptation of a play, written by Hungarian playwright Miklós László in the late 1930s. But, it’s a rare exception where an adaptation doesn’t feel like an adaptation; it feels like entirely new content. 

I’ve always loved You’ve Got Mail, but the older I get, the more emotional I get while watching it — not because of Joe and Kathleen’s romance, but because of how things change. 

We find a coffee shop or bookstore or restaurant we love. We take our friends there and make memories. However, more often than not these days, our beloved place is changed or sold and made into something corporate. 

I’ve lived in Austin for over 13 years now. I know that I don’t have the same rights as born and bred Austinities to talk about how much the city has changed, but even I can see the changes over the years. The eradication of the food trailer park on SoCo. The closings of Shady Grove and Holy Roller. The Alamo Drafthouse on South Lamar went from a movie theater at the back of an old shopping center to a focal point among hip restaurants, coffee shops, and bars (RIP Alamo Ritz, too). It makes me sad and nostalgic in ways I can’t fully describe. 

A major part of growing up that we don’t often talk about is letting go. That’s the part of You’ve Got Mail that gets me every single time. When Kathleen finally closes The Shop Around the Corner, I BAWL. 

RIP, you sweet angel. 

The only big issue I have with You’ve Got Mail lies within its ending. I feel like Kathleen is so independent and such a firecracker that it’s a bit out of character for her to just wilt into Joe Fox’s arms. 

I more than understand that I’m overthinking the entire plot, but it irks me. I digress. 

When it comes to You’ve Got Mail being the perfect way to kick off fall (outside of a Gilmore Girls rewatch, of course), I think we’re all on the same page.

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

Friends, if you’re traveling for the holidays, I would be careful…especially if you plan to spend the holidays in a tropical paradise or backpacking across the pond. 

You never know when someone, y’know, might try to steal your identity or organs and leave you for dead. A tale as old as time. 

These movies won’t leave the light on for you, nor will they leave a mint on your pillow or fresh towels on the bed. Instead, they’ll make you hesitant to travel and think twice before trusting your tour guide. 

Grab your sunscreen and survival instincts because I’m giving you five movies to taint your travels. 

• The Ruins
• Hostel
• Turistas
• A Perfect Getaway 
• The Influencer 

Don’t worry! I’m not going to leave you hanging. I’ve also compiled a few travel tips based on these classics that I think might come in handy: 

• Don’t agree to go to any remote locations or questionable places with strangers. 
• Don’t visit any sort of burial ground. Poltergeist and Pet Sematary taught us all better. 
• Before starting to dig into that sweet, cursed earth ask yourself, WWZRD? What Would Zelda Rubinstein Do?
• If you’re traveling with a generic hot guy, you’re screwed.

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

I’ve always been a big Reese Witherspoon fan, and, to be honest, this is the hardest list I’ve had to make for a spotlight. From a neurotic high school prospective president to a bubbly lawyer wanting to save her beloved Chihuahua’s mother, Reese has brought some of my favorite fictional characters to life. 

Although I’m not going to mention her characters from American Psycho or Fear, these roles shouldn’t be shrugged off. Reese Witherspoon is a gem and should be treated as such. 

Without further ado, let’s pay tribute to an icon. 

Election 

I’ve talked about Election before, so I won’t just regurgitate my other piece, and keep it short. This movie is such a wonderful personification of 90s films, and it can’t be replicated. Reese’s Tracy Flick is the cherry on top. 

Legally Blonde

I’ve also talked about Legally Blonde in depth, so I won’t bore all of you again with the details. This movie is iconic, and there’s a reason that Elle Woods has such a lasting legacy. 

Penelope 

I know Penelope is a bit of a dark horse, but hear me out. I feel like this movie is often overlooked, and I don’t understand how. Catherine O’Hara is even in it, for crying out loud. 

“Man, I’m so glad I bought that Conair Quick Braid off eBay.” 

Big Little Lies

I was a little late to the game on Big Little Lies because I was worried it was being overhyped. Even though I’m a Leo, I can admit when I’m wrong. 

Cruel Intentions 

If you didn’t think Cruel Intentions wouldt be on my Reese list, you don’t know me at all. 

Sweet Home Alabama

Okay, fine. I’ll admit that I have a soft spot for Sweet Home Alabama. I think it’s super cute, and I’m not ashamed to say it. 

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

Friends, it’s somehow November, which means it’s officially time to start talking about Thanksgiving. 

Now, I was originally going to do a nostalgic Thanksgiving post like I did for Halloween and plan to do for Christmas (spoiler), but I just couldn’t find enough content for a piece. Instead, I’m combining Thanksgiving episodes both old and new for one piece.

Additionally, I know that HIMYM and Friends have both had SUPER problematic storylines and jokes (because they’re essentially the same show); Gilmore Girls also has its fair share. That’s why I’ve purposely excluded one Thanksgiving episode of Friends in particular. 

Without further ado, let’s serve up some of my favorite Thanksgiving episodes.

One-Off episodes 

• As Told By Ginger – “Ten Chairs” 
• Full House – “The Miracle of Thanksgiving” 
• Gilmore Girls – “A Deep-Fried Korean Thanksgiving” 
• Hey Arnold! – “Arnold’s Thanksgiving” 
• The O.C. – “Homecoming” 

A sprinkling of episodes 

• Boy Meets World – “Turkey Day” and “Chasing Angela” 
• The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air – “Talking Turkey,” “There’s the Rub (Part 1),” and “There’s the Rub (Part 2)” 

I feel like we all start Thanksgiving day as Seth and end Thanksgiving Day as Ryan, disassociating in the background.

Honorable mentions

• Garfield’s Thanksgiving 
• A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving

This is still one of my favorite memes on the internet.
