The title says it all. I'm signing off the month of August with all the movies I watched, my current Bravo obsessions, new "old movies' watches, my issues with Project Runway and why Love Island USA this season didn't quite hit for me.

It's been on my goal list to have chats with the regular pods that I listen to on a weekly basis. So, I'm stoked to have Tom of Dumpster Dive Podcast here on the show. We basically just had a rollercoaster of a chat talking some obscure reality shows (Bridalplasty!?), question how some of these shows were made, and our thoughts on Love Island. We also bonded over the VH1 cornerstone reality show, Mob Wives. 

Enjoy!

Stephen from Creek Talk Podcast is back to chat about the most recent season of Love Island UK. I bullied him successfully and he watched the entire season in under a month. We get into how we were disappointed in the USA season that just wrapped, what we thought about this cast of characters, and favorite moments and quotes a plenty!

Now, there are movies that are true time capsules. They capture the feeling and specific aura of time. In my rewatch of Palo Alto from 2013 I was instantly transported back to that time period. For me it was a very specific set of aesthetics and music that lived on the internet and Tumblr specifically and this whole movie felt like wandering through a blog.

I was transfixed by this after my first watch at the cinema. The soundtrack lived in my head for months and still is one of my favorites. During my rewatch this time I could see the cracks in the story that I didn't see before. The truly blandness of the story, some of the most unlikeable characters, and the whole problematic nature of James Franco and his sleazy role in this film adapted from his short stories.

I've decided to put this in my 'kinda bad, but I like it' category. I get into the behind the scenes short film that was produced for it, the normie but relatable fashion, and the lack of technology that felt like a breath of fresh air in the story.

"I wish I didn't care about anything."

I have mixed feelings about this season as a whole and Ashley is back on the pod to help me wrap this all up. We talk about the toxicity that is apparently rewarded on this season, the disastrous 'Family Day', and I get a rundown on the finale dates cause I didn't watch the finale. *groan

What a season, and now that it's over this is where the show really starts!
