Aubrey Plaza reviewing creepy dolls from the movies (and TV) because apparently she's in the Child's Play remake or something. While watching this had a sudden flashback to her movie Ingrid Goes West. Remember how unexpectedly good that was?

I'd be opposed to a new season of Russian Doll if I thought Natasha Lyonne would get a better role, break, project or vehicle from Hollywood. I'll look forward to S2 and even more so to the next project she produces for herself.
The Madonna Album Reviews are in,a return to form apparently.
Yay for Timothy Hughes, a lovely tall drink of water, indeed. I'd forgotten that he was the guy who snatched a pro-Trump sign from an obnoxious patron during the curtain call at Frozen a while back. He's hot *and* political in the best way! (swoon)
