Hello, Movie Mavens! Welcome back to the B Movies Blog. Today, we’re popping Farhad Mann’s Devil’s Diary into the ol’ VCR. 

Okay, friends, I have a real gem for you today. For those who don’t know, Lifetime will occasionally dip their toes into the horror genre. 

However, there have been two movies that have stuck with me over the years: Haunting Sarah (don’t worry, I’ll cover this one at some point) and, today’s nugget of cinematic gold, Devil’s Diary. 

For those who don’t know, if you’ve seen both The Craft and Mean Girls, I can safely say that you’ve seen most of Devil’s Diary. Think if the Burn Book was more Necronomicon-adjacent and The Craft was composed of stars from shows on The N. 

Aly & AJ are still killing it. 

It’s low budget, ridiculous, and honestly, it’s the perfect way to kill a couple of hours on a Sunday afternoon. 

In the grand tradition of other pieces where I’ve covered ridiculous movies, we’re going to do a stream of consciousness-style review. So grab your favorite pen and cursed notebook, and get ready to take notes. 

• Avril Lavigne and Degrassi also called, but they didn’t leave a message 
• She’s a walking version of the Twilight gradient 
• It’s the Girls Kick Ass sticker on the printer for me 
• I need a true crime rendering of the pool cue scene 
• The red square art house transitions are their equivalent of star wipes
• That’s the weirdest James Dean poster I’ve ever seen in my life – it looks like something straight out of The Monument Mythos 
• RIP to Joey and the CGI budget that made Joey’s death happen offscreen. They had to save it for the third act because only one person could get lit 
• “He’s going around back.” – The exposition we never knew we needed 
• You also want me to believe that she didn’t hear the phone call taking place three inches below her open window?
• I’d be the friend that says, “This is SCARY stuff,” and wanted to leave 
• This movie once again proves that churches are more dangerous and harmful than the LGBTQIA+ community will ever be 
• “Excuse me, I think I know when a tramp hangs up on me.” – Where is their Oscar?
• “Her ass is so bulbous” – This is one of the best lines in horror history, second only to “your tits are stupendous” in the Friday the 13th remake 
• Um, did we all forget about Effi, who needs medical attention in the theater department? 
• Georgia spelling out KILL 
• P sure Father Sanchez is just reading nu metal lyrics at the end 
• Ummmm, why is Dominique a TEENAGER, who is being preyed on by MULTIPLE MEN without ANY ADULT INTERFERENCE?
• I’d love to see the buddy comedy where Dominique and Nancy are roommates 

Back in my day, you had to print out photos of a demonic journal to bring to your local priest.

And that, my friends, is Devil’s Diary. Alexz Johnson truly deserved better…as did most of the cast. But, we can’t discredit the sacrifices they made for our viewing pleasure. I recommend pregaming for Devil’s Diary with Degrassi of the Dead for the best experience. 

Devil’s Diary is now streaming on Prime and is available for free on YouTube.

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

We all have those shows. You know the ones. The shows we pop on when we’re sick or can’t sleep or just don’t feel like starting something new. 

They’re our comfort shows. And let me tell you, I have several. 

Now, before I get started, I have to give some disclaimers. Some of my comfort shows are years old. That isn’t an excuse, but a warning. Some of the jokes or content within these shows is insensitive, insulting, etc… If jokes like this are triggering for you, PLEASE watch with caution. 

With all of the particulars out of the way, I present to a list of my comfort shows: 

• House 
• Psych 
• Schitt’s Creek 
• Awkward.

The Fox News set is honestly a lot calmer BTS than I imagined. 

• 30 Rock 
• True Blood 
• Gravity Falls
• Dead Like Me
• American Vandal 
• Gilmore Girls
• Scream: The TV series 
• United States of Tara 

THE WORST.

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

I’ve been a fan of Maika Monroe since I first saw her in It Follows. From there, she’s gone on to star in some of my favorite horror movies of the past several years, including both Watcher and The Guest.

I know she allegedly isn’t a fan of the “scream queen” label, so I’ll call her a “horror maven” and call it a day. I’ve gathered my four favorite roles of Maika Monroe’s, with an honorable mention to a movie I wasn’t the biggest fan of but can’t discredit her performance. 

With all of the particulars out of the way, let’s pay homage to Maika Monroe. 

The more I watch The Guest, the more I consider adding this costume to the ol’ Halloween costume bucket list. 

The Guest

If Dan Stevens showed up to my house, I wouldn’t question anything either. 

It Follows

As someone who values their alone time, I’d be so pissed. 

Watcher

Wow, women not being believed? What a work of fiction. 

Villains 

It’s like if Honey Bunny and Pumpkin from Pulp Fiction met Becky and Tony from Ready or Not.

Maika Monroe really keeps this movie afloat. 

Honorable Mention: Significant Others

The White Lotus but make it Invasion of the Body Snatchers.

Hello, Movie Mavens! Welcome back to the B Movies Blog. Today, we’re popping the MTV shows I grew up with into the ol’ VCR. 

I’m a huge fan of Jaime French’s channel. This includes her “Member That?” videos where she talks about the media we grew up watching but might have forgotten about in the deep recesses of our brains (I’m sure it has nothing to do with us being the generation that just keeps living through unprecedented times). Anywho. 

She has a video about the show Becoming, and it inspired me to talk about some of my favorite shows from MTV in the 2000s to the early 2010s.  

Additionally, I read Grace Perry’s book The 2000s Made Me Gay where she talks about The Challenge and other pieces of content in relation to her coming out a few months ago. 

Needless to say, I was feeling inspired and decided to talk about some of my favorite MTV shows from the same time period. This isn’t to discredit the musical days of MTV; I was just more of a Fuse girl when it came to music videos, and it definitely shows (this is a shoutout to all of my Nighttime Clap and Pants Off, Dance Off fans). 

Without any more fuss, let me take you back to the days where MTV would give you musical credits on the bottom of the screen during the actual show. 

Disclaimer: I haven’t watched most of these shows in over a decade, so if there’s anything extremely problematic I’m not remembering, apologies in advance. 

Awkward.

The grip Awkward. had on me in college. I went to a liberal arts school where I would drink lattes underneath a giant oak tree while listening to a She & Him Pandora station, so it very much tracks. 

Jenna is one of the reasons I started blogging over 12 years ago. Please keep that between us.

Made 

I rooted for every single one of the people on Made. I didn’t care if a 16-year-old high schooler wanted to be a presidential candidate. You get on that ballot, girl! Don’t let the legal age requirement of 35 get you down! YAAAASSS! 

And y’all said watching marathons of this show would never come in handy. LOOK AT ME NOW.

True Life 

True Life walked so that modern, limited docuseries could run. This show had EVERYTHING and ran for almost 19 years. Some episodes would highlight boxers training for fights, and other episode topics ranged from from drug addiction to childhood trauma. It was truly wild. 

True Life: I spent countless hours of my youth watching True Life.

Death Valley 

I absolutely loved this show. Death Valley only ran for one season, but it checked all of my boxes: 

• Horror
• Horror comedy 
• Horror comedy mockumentary
• Horror comedy about a task force that only brings in monsters, cryptids, and other figures
• Bryce Johnson (If you’re a Popular fan, check out @popularforever on Instagram btw)

This screenshot should tell you everything you need to know about Death Valley. 

My Life as Liz 

Y’ALL. The grip My Life as Liz had on me was tighter than the one Awkward. had. It was filmed in the area I grew up in, and I compared myself to Liz Lee way more than I would care to admit. I watched every single episode the night it premiered in my dorm room, and I still can’t believe that they left us on a cliffhanger. 

Man, I love Paramore. 

Hello, Movie Mavens! Welcome back to the B Movies Blog. Today, we’re popping Judd Apatow, Lesley Arfin, and Paul Rust’s Love into the ol’ VCR. 

To be perfectly honest, I don’t know why I love this show so much. I don’t know if it’s because I see a lot of myself in Gillian Jacobs’s Mickey (or, unfortunately and occasionally, Paul Rust’s Gus). I don’t know if it’s because I love just about everything Mickey wears. I don’t even know if it’s because of the incredible monologue Mickey spews out in the first episode. All I know is that I’ve rewatched this show a million times. 

Now, friends, I must warn you. In the grand tradition of all Judd Apatow content, there’s an extreme lack of diversity throughout this series. It’s v white and v straight. Just keep that in mind. 

If you aren’t familiar with Love (which, same), it follows Gus and Mickey, two polar opposites, as they navigate their budding romance while working through personal issues. I know I say this a lot, but this cast, including several members of The Birthday Boys, is absolute perfection. 

There are two wolves inside me. 

There are times throughout Love that you’ll find yourself hating Mickey and/or Gus. And honestly, it’s relatable. We often put characters on a pedestal and then get upset when they don’t act how we think they should. However, that’s not what happens in reality, so I appreciate the realism. 

While the story, at its core, is about Mickey and Gus, I think the supporting characters really make the show. Love is messy and complicated and aggravating, and scenes within this show illustrate the highs and lows equally. 

As someone who’s been sober for two years, I also really appreciate Mickey’s storyline. I wasn’t sober when the show was released, but watching it while sober adds an entirely different level for me. 

Please give Claudia O’Doherty her own sitcom, I beg of you. 

Love, hate, and an improvised theme song for Carlito’s Way await you within three seasons. 

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

Now listen. I love comedy. I’m very fortunate to have seen some heavy hitters perform live, including Marc Maron, John Mulaney (twice), and Bo Burnham (shocker). I even tried my hand at stand-up but let a couple of gross dudes get in my head, and I regret it. I digress. 

I’ve seen roughly 19,000 specials in my day, so forgive me if I’m forgetting a big one. Additionally, and this should go without saying, but there are sometimes jokes within comedy that either a) don’t age well or b) are offensive. 

I think a lot of these are pretty tame compared to a lot of specials, but I would just keep that in mind. 

Without further ado, it’s time to hold for laughter and get to the punchline. 

John Mulaney’s New In Town – This special ignited my love of comedy. Who knew college dorm room basic cable would lead to a life-long appreciation?

Mike Birbiglia’s My Girlfriend’s Boyfriend – Mike Birbiglia has actually become one of my favorite comedians, and I really admire how he weaves comedy, storytelling, and performance together. 

Chelsea Peretti’s One of the Greats – It’s worth watching for the audience cuts alone. *Chef’s kiss*. 

Bo Burnham’s Inside – YEAH YEAH. 

Nick Kroll and John Mulaney’s Oh, Hello on Broadway – Too much tuna and too much good comedy. 

Fortune Feimster’s Sweet & Salty – I’ll never say Hooters the same way. 

Hannah Gadsby’s Nanette – [CW/TW: r*pe, SA, homophobia] I don’t have a joke for this one; it’s just truly one of the most powerful shows I’ve ever seen. 

Bo Burnham’s Make Happy – Yeah, so, Bo Burnham’s on here twice. What are you gonna do? Tell him? Please, god, don’t. 

Atsuko Okatsuka’s The Intruder – There are few things that make me laugh out loud like Hilary Duff in A Cinderella Story. This is one of those things. 

Adam Sandler’s 100% Fresh – I know it sounds crazy, but I find myself revisiting this special more than I thought I would. Also, I dare you not to cry during the Chris Farley tribute. 

Garfunkel and Oates’s Trying to be Special – I’m still mad that their show only got one season. 

Maria Bamford’s Old Baby – If you love Space Ghost: Coast to Coast, you’ll love Maria Bamford.

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

The work of Jennifer Coolidge truly needs no introduction. Hell, Jennifer Coolidge doesn’t even need an introduction. From her interview with Jeremy Allen White to her iconic roles in Legally Blonde, Best in Show, and The White Lotus, we all know that Jennifer Coolidge is an American treasure. 

She also doesn’t need a modest little movie writer from humble beginnings (fun fact: I had to walk to school barefoot, uphill both ways, in the snow) highlighting her work. However, she deserves it. I’ve collected a few of my favorite J.Cool roles to spotlight, and believe me, it was a challenge to narrow them down to a list of five. 

Without further ado, let’s honor a true queen. 

A Mighty Wind: Jennifer Coolidge is an absolute scene stealer, and this movie deserves a place on the list for the humming scene alone. 

A Cinderella Story: The grip this movie has on me. Despite being the evil stepmother, Jennifer Coolidge is, by far, one of the best parts of A Cinderella Story. 

Gravity Falls: I know this one is a bit of a curveball, but hear me out. Imagine being so iconic that your voice is universally recognizable, and you choose to lend it to one of the best animated series of all time. 

Legally Blonde and Legally Blonde 2: Red, White, and Blonde: If you don’t say “dumbass” with Paulette’s inflection, I don’t know how to help you. 

Best in Show: I also love soup. 

Hello, Movie Mavens! Welcome back to the B Movies Blog. Today, we’re popping The Nick & Jessica Variety Hour into the ol’ VCR. 

A big part of my mission here on the blog is to watch all kinds of pop culture, so you don’t have to. Well, friends, I have once again sacrificed 45 minutes of my day, for your sake. 

About a year ago, I stumbled across The Nick & Jessica Variety Hour at a Dollar Tree. I obviously bought it and then added it to our editorial calendar (which is over 14 pages long, I might add). 

A while back, my queen, Jaime French, covered this particular piece of media, and I knew it was finally time to cover a real treat from 2004, as you can tell by the dresses worn with jeans, ties, and gauchos. 

Now, there’s no possible way I can make a coherent piece about The Nick & Jessica Variety Hour. Really. Instead, we’re going to do one of my favorite types of blog where I write out bullet points that represent my stream of consciousness. 

Without further ado, let’s dive in. 

• It’s mighty optimistic to call this the first variety hour.
• Thank God Kacey Musgraves saved variety show homages.
• Omg, that’s Jewel, not Ashlee Simpson. 🤦‍♀️
• I also don’t understand the pole vaulting joke, Jaime.
• The Muppets deserve better than this. 
• Why is Jessica wearing blonde wigs that are her exact hair color?
• Oh shit, “With You” does slap! 
• Why don’t we appreciate Jewel more?
• Someone made Nick duet instead of giving him a solo. 
• K.I.T.T. needs therapy. 
• Jessica also needs therapy. 
• Which episode of True Blood is this? 
• I want to crawl out of my skin because of Jessica’s Bush impression. 
• Who did Jessica piss off in wardrobe to get such busted wigs?
• Whoever came up with the Nick La Shave bit still brags about it to this very day. 
• I had no idea who Johnny Benches was before today and guessed he was some sort of traveling elementary school clown. 
• Why is Jessica singing “She Works Hard For The Money” in-between skits in a montage?
• This was absolutely Jessica’s idea. 
• Why am I sad knowing that they’re divorced now?
• I might need to go back to therapy. 

And there you have it. I made it through the entire Nick & Jessica Variety Hour. It isn’t unbearable, but it’s definitely cringe. I’d recommend pairing it with some episodes of Newlyweds for ultimate nostalgia. 

And yes, Mr. T does sing speak several lyrics of “With You.” 

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

It should be obvious at this point that fall is my favorite time of the year. It has Halloween, autumnal-flavored goodies, and the excuse to wear sweaters, even though it’s 200℉ in Texas. It’s simply magical. 

Way back in 2014, I was the Assistant Manager at an ice cream shop where I could walk to and from work. Through my alma mater. With my headphones in. In other words, I greatly suffered from main character syndrome. 

That’s why I made an ultimate fall playlist to keep me company, as I daydreamed throughout my walk. 

Now, my playlist is over 300 songs (whoops). I’ll link the entire playlist in full below, but I wanted to pull 20 songs from it that scream fall to me, for some reason or another. 

So, pop your headphones in and join me on a fall afternoon as we walk through a college campus and pretend that our lives are an indie movie. 

• “Waiting for October” by Polaris 
• “No Need For Dreaming”  by MisterWives 
• “Despite What You’ve Been Told” by Two Gallants
• “Young Volcanoes” by Fall Out Boy 
• “But The Regrets Are Killing Me” by American Football
• “Go Your Own Way” by Fleetwood Mac 
• “Just Breathe” by Pearl Jam 
• “You Can’t Help Me Now” by The Both 
• “Whistle For The Choir” by The Fratellis 
• “Hey Jealousy” by The Gin Blossoms 
• “Parentheses” by The Blow
• “Save Tonight” by Eagle-Eye Cherry 
• “Mad Sounds” by Arctic Monkeys

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

Friends, I have a really good one for you today. 

I stumbled upon this series after watching one of Baz’s react videos. I was so intrigued by “Starfield” that I made a note to come back to the series later. And now, I’m making good on my promise. 

I’m completely blown away by this series, and I think Midwest Angelica is CRIMINALLY underrated. While the creators have confirmed that we’ve only reached the end of Act I, I can earnestly say Midwest Angelica is already one of the best analog horror series I’ve ever seen.

Part 80s/90s Sci Fi horror and part basic cable nightmare, this series depicts some sort of alien species that has fallen to earth. And, friends, they definitely don’t come in peace. 

The series opens with an infomercial for the VHS of a film titled (you guessed it) Midwest Angelica. This ad is plucked straight out of my family heirloom, the 1985 CBS Halloween Special, I swear, down to the music and voice actor. The run time is only about 57 seconds, and let me tell you — I was hooked from the start. 

Throughout the rest of the series, we’re shown the progression of an alien virus that strives to infiltrate and assimilate our species through different types of media. I really have to hand it to the creators because the creativity used to progress the plot is brilliant. We see these events unfold through stock footage, found footage, reenactments, and more. However, every medium is well executed. 

There are even times within videos, like “Home,” that I’m reminded of segments from 60 Minutes or even the likes of Curse of the Blair Witch, the documentary made to accompany The Blair Witch Project.

I can’t recommend this series enough, especially for fans of Gemini Home Entertainment and The Monument Mythos. Let’s get more eyes on the Midwest Angelica channel because they truly deserve for their work to be seen. As for me, I’ll keep my eyes to the sky, from a safe distance that is.
