There be spoilers ahead… It’s been a pretty rough couple of months for K-pop fans. We had to deal with some gut-wrenching revelations about popular idols. Plus, the days spent worrying our favs may be the next revealed as stupid, misogynistic man-babies were nerve-wracking. So with our guts and nerves thoroughly wrenched and wracked, what...

Earlier this week, Mattel released images for its upcoming line of BTS-inspired dolls. Decked out in their “Idol” garb the boys look … unique. Okay, reactions have not been super positive. I myself was initially unable to look past their wild manes of plasticy hair, and Amanda immediately called them nightmare fuel. But the longer... Continue Reading →

Last year, I made an attempt to recap each episode of American Horror Story: Cult but quickly fell off the regular write-up wagon. Will my coverage of Apocalypse fair better, or will part of the inevitable fallout of frustration AHS creates be another incompletely reviewed season? Let’s find out! So, Ryan Murphy and crew brought... Continue Reading →
If you missed part one of our totally necessary K-pop bracket, you can find it here!
