Mission Impossible: Fallout – A Movie Review
I’m not a huge Mission Impossible fan, but I thought it would be fun to take this little movie in on its Thursday night release.

GLOW: Season 2 — Even Better Than the First

Codename Villanelle by Luke Jennings – A Book Review
You may remember that my wife and I very much enjoyed Killing Eve, which aired on BBC America. As is my habit, I had to go check out the source material, which turned out to be a novel entitled Codename Villanelle. Written by Luke Jennings, this fast-paced, brisk thriller served as the basis for the…
