Recap: RHOSLC S5E15 - Smile, You're Being Recorded
Another iconic Real Housewives of Salt Lake City episode that solidifies the sprinter van as THE best of all possible filming locations on any franchise. Nothing brings a divided group together like a common enemy, and that enemy swinging and missing on every excuse, accusation, and attempt to fight back makes for a legendarily cringe experience. Up against a new foe, Meredith is in rare form and slips into paranoia, Heather vacillates between emotional support and lecturing, Lisa feels betrayed, Mary seems satisfied, Bronwyn brings solid one-liners, Angie is the Queen of see-something-say-something and serves as a voice of reason, while Whitney shows compassion despite her anger. BONUS: A rant on Jen Aydin popping off at Jersey Mike's and my zero tolerance for idiots using the devastation of the CA wildfires to mock diversity within the Fire DepartmentAll opinions are personal and not representative of any outside company, person, or agenda.

Movie Review and Rant: I finally watched 'It Ends With Us'
It finally happened, I watched the movie that spurned all the lawsuits and drama - and I have thoughts. A review the rom-dramedy? in the spirit of Mystery Science Theater 3000 and thoughts and research into the various distracting derelict lewks and random designer labels. From the acting to the dialogue, and the plot to the set design, the creative choices were all noticed and noted. BONUS: A newly released voicemail from Justin Baldoni, plus the internet reminded me about some Deadpool director drama that sounds familiarAll opinions are personal and not representative of any outside company, person, or agenda.

Deep Dive: It Ends with Us/These Lawsuits - Part 7
The conclusion of Justin Baldoni's jam packed lawsuit against the New York Times that covers a pile of alleged inaccuracies from their article regarding a "smear campaign" against Blake Lively. Full text message exchanges between Justin's team seem to present a different reality from the vindictive scenarios outlined in Blake's complaint. Justin's version tells a story of his small production house being blindsided and strong-armed into submission by a powerful celebrity couple. Multiple things can be true, and while several allegations weren't addressed, both sides want a jury trial which hopefully means every detail will be shared at some point.

Deep Dive: It Ends With Us/These Lawsuits - Part 6
Justin Baldoni files an 87 page lawsuit against the New York Times, this episode reviews contradictions from statements made in Blake Lively's complaint. His perspective seems to be that she held something over Wayfarer as a bargaining chip of sorts to get her way, and that he and his team agreed to her escalating demands to keep the peace. They appear to frame her allegations as a means to regain positive public image that they state was not damaged by a "smear campaign" but rather her own tone deaf actions during the movie's promotional period. Each of their filings reflect very strong, and very opposing, perspectives. Part 6 covers the first half of his filing, Part 7 covers the rest as well as my summary thoughts after realizing one party is either lying or delusional.All opinions are personal and not representative of any outside company, person, or agenda.

Movie & Series Reviews: 'Your Monster' and 'Black Doves'
Review and recommendations of Netflix's 6-part series, 'Black Doves', and the Caroline Lindy's indie film, "Your Monster". Keira Knightly morphs into a super spy with impressive fighting skills and a comedic relief spy best friend in a series that I thought rivaled any action movie in recent years. Then, Melissa Bererra gives an outstanding performance as a young woman dealing with a pile of disappointments and challenges amidst a backdrop of musical theater and fantasy. BONUS: Jax Taylor's silent Cameo and the recent luxury handbag upset by the "Wirkin" All opinions are personal and not representative of any outside company, person, or agenda.
