Yeah, you saw that right. I successfully bullied Ashley into picking up with the new Love Island All Stars series. And yes we did a 2.5hr episode on it. Basically we're getting into the meat of the second week at the villa. We talk about how Scott is a chaos demon but never wrong, the vanilla triangle between Samie, Lucinda, and Cieran, and why we love Hurricane Belle. Proving yet again that the series 5 girls remain elite in Love Island history.

It's almost time for the Winter Olympics and what better way than to use it as a theme for the next 90s movie episode. Since Charles is an Olympic expert you're in for a real treat with this one. While the movie itself is kinda of part Lifetime movie part Melrose Place episode, it really doesn't stray too far from the actual dynamics in pairs skating. 
We get into skating fashion, hilarious quotes, and count the montages throughout.

📲  I'VE GOT A TEXT! 
It's time (yet again) for me to put all my Love Island knowledge to use and the start of a new season of All Stars. At first I thought it was lame but then I thought this is really the Super Bowl for the fans. Since we know the lore of the past Islanders, it only can get messier.  
I'm getting into Scott being this seasons 'bone carrier', the boys being whack, and Whitney (my girl) yet again being bigger than the program.

It's the first *new episode of 2026. Yes, I know we're well past the New Year salutations but alas. This was the perfect type of film to start off the year and a new mood. The Daytrippers have been on my list for a while and it really scratched that itch when it comes to a quirky 90s comedy. 
I talk about the realistic and aspirational fashion of Parker posey, the many quotes and hijinks that ensue on this caper of madness, and the many roadblocks during the behind the scenes of this film.

When I was thinking about archiving my mag collection on TikTok I found other collectors as I got going. One of the first creators I remember salivating over was 90s Mags and More. I look forward to each new video because it really is like looking through a time capsule. 
For this interview episode I got to chat with Lauren about her collection, her history with Seventeen Magazine, current titles, and go deep on teenage nostalgia.
