Hello, Movie Mavens! Welcome back to the B Movies Blog. Today, we’re popping high school-themed musicals into the ol’ VCR. 

I’ve never understood the concept of the high school musical. Now don’t get me wrong — I’ll watch them nine ways to Sunday. But, I don’t understand the glorification of high school. High school, at least in my experience, was fun, but it definitely wasn’t the pinnacle of living. 

I was a firecracker of emotions that was one match away from exploding at any given moment. I lived off of Taco Bell and Lo-Carb Monsters. You couldn’t pay me money to go back. 

However, for some reason, we decided as a society to accept high school as the setting for musicals. Somehow, we were like, “You know what would be fun? Pretending like being a teenager is a magical and mystical time where you not only know how to properly articulate your emotions, but you know how to do it THROUGH THE ART OF SONG?”

Yeah, it sounds insane when I spell it out. But again, that hasn’t stopped me from watching any of them, from Grease to the High School Musicals (I draw the line at Dear Evan Hansen). Why, though?

I never played sports, so can someone tell me if singing falls before or after dribbling practice?

I think that we, collectively as a society, also decided to live vicariously through a bunch of actors and romanticize our experiences. And, honestly, with the world as we know it in constant turmoil, I say screw it. 

Why not pretend like none of us wore the wrong shade of Dream Matte Mousse foundation to hide our acne, only making it worse? Why not pretend like schools actually supported the arts and could afford Broadway-esque plays? Why not act like we didn’t like/date a bunch of awful people who somehow all mostly turned out to be pastors? (Just me? Noted.) 

Let’s let Zac Efron sing and dance us into a sense of security. Let’s use zombies, aliens, and werewolves as a way to represent racism and segregation like ZOMBIES, or, you know, actually just call racism and segregation out like in Hairspray. Let’s even give movies like Mean Girls and Heathers the musical treatment for extra flare. 

It’s the same old song and dance, but there’s something comforting in that old tune. 

I’m a Frenchie Sun, Jan Moon, and a Rizzo Rising. 

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

Friends, I, for one, am really jazzed about the upcoming and inaugural film in the FNAF franchise (try saying that five times fast). 

That being said, I want to throw a few more pieces of unhinged (or un-springtrapped, am I right?) animatronic content to tide you over while we patiently wait for October 27. 

I’m going to shoot you straight — my list is super short. HOWEVER, I wanted to avoid toys and puppets because Freddy and friends are animatronics. Don’t get me wrong, I love Child’s Play and Puppet Master and all the rest, but they don’t quite scratch the itch the way today’s entries do. 

With all the disclaimers out of the way, let’s jump in: 

Willy’s Wonderland: Nick Cage can chew the scenery, even when his mouth is closed.

The Banana Splits Movie: One banana, two banana, three banana, four… bodies were discovered at a show taping today.

Christmas Bloody Christmas: Jingle all the way to Hell.

The Hug (short): Hungry? Eat a Snickers, not an entire child.  

Sid the Sloth seems to have fallen on hard times.

Hello, Movie Mavens! Welcome back to the B Movies Blog. Today, we’re popping Daniel Goldhaber and Isa Mazzei’s Cam into the ol’ VCR. 

I have several unsung favorites in my horror pantheon, including 2018’s Cam. Cam stars Madeline Brewer as Alice, a camgirl striving to work her way into a top spot. However, things get a bit more complicated when Alice’s feed starts to go live… with someone who looks exactly like her. 

Cam not only shows a positive portrayal of sex work (Isa Mazzei was a camgirl), but is a SOLID horror movie. We so often see female characters in the horrorsphere through a male gaze; they tend to be exploited, only to be sliced, diced, and sacrificed like a really awful one night stand. 

I don’t remember this scene from Rocky Horror Picture Show. 

However, Cam subverts the narrative. We perceive Alice as the “bad girl,” or, and I’m only using this word in the confines of horror tropes, the “slut.” Those who exploit her are seen as the villains. 

It’s also refreshing to see a sex positive horror movie where characters who are hornier than the brass section of a ska band aren’t immediately axed to death for their transgressions. 

Finally, the ambiguous nature of the big bad in Cam is really intriguing. Is the threat technological or supernatural? What is its true purpose? Why does Alice have such an incredible discount store nearby? Many of our questions go unanswered, but you’ll still walk away fulfilled (I acknowledge my poor choice of words and apologize). 

This is how I wish I looked getting ready to shoot for the B Movies channel. 

So, friends, if you’re looking for a high femme horror movie with the nuances of Black Mirror, Cam’s the one for you. Just know that fame comes with a price. 

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

Schitt’s Creek may have launched Catherine O’Hara into/back into the public eye, but she’s involved in some of the most beloved and iconic movies. She’s the voice of Sally in Nightmare Before Christmas, Kate McCallister in Home Alone and Home Alone 2: Lost in New York, and lest we forget, Delia Deetz in Beetlejuice, and all of her Christopher Guest roles. 

She’s an absolute queen, so it should be no surprise that I would include her within my spotlight series. I’ve selected a few of my favorite Catherine O’Hara content to highlight (and limited myself to only one Christopher Guest movie, which was the hardest thing I’ve ever done), but I recommend doing a deep dive of her catalog. 

With all of the gushing out of the way, let’s pay homage to one of the greats. 

Pictured: Me holding my Squishmallows after a minor inconvenience. 

Nightmare Before Christmas: Back in my day, Nightmare Before Christmas merch was the tamest thing Hot Topic sold. 

Beetlejuice: If you grew up in the 90s/early 00s and listened to pop punk, you modeled your personality around Lydia Deetz. I don’t make the rules. 

A Mighty Wind: Being in the audience for the premiere of The Big Easy Express is the closest I’ll ever get to being in a Christopher Guest movie. 

Honestly, Delia Deetz is a whole damn mood.

Home Alone & Home Alone 2: Lost in New York: I feel like there has to be a Snyder cut of the first two Home Alones sitting in a storeroom somewhere. 

Schitt’s Creek: I’m not a reality TV gal, but I’d watch an iteration of the Real Housewives with Moira Rose. 

Witch’s Night Out: I know this is a deep pull, but just as a reminder, you’re talking to someone whose family heirloom is the 1985 CBS Halloween lineup, recorded on a VHS, and who has the Witch as a tattoo.

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.
