I love the Final Destination movies. Would I argue that they’re cinematic masterpieces? Obviously not. But I wouldn’t really consider them guilty pleasures either. Yes, they’re gory and occasionally ridiculous, and they're not for everyone, but I like the concept of Death attempting to collect the lives it’s owed after a group of people evade their ill-fated catastrophe.

I love a good romantic comedy. Heck, I love a just-ok rom-com, if I'm being totally honest. Sometimes, a love story is just what I need, and the really good ones have the kind of quotes in them that we never forget. Whether it's because they make us swoon or laugh or maybe just because they help us understand the main characters a bit better, some movie lines are unforgettable.

It’s usually around this time of year that the hankering for my summer tradition starts to kick in. I’m talking about Big Brother, a show that has monopolized more hours of my summers than I can fathom, and I’m not at all sorry about it. I know we probably have a few months to wait before Big Brother Season 27's start date comes up on the 2025 TV schedule, but that doesn’t mean I’m not eagerly anticipating its arrival. So, let’s get into what we do know about Season 27.

Even if you aren’t closely paying attention to what books have readers (and booktubers, and booktokers, etc) obsessing over, there’s a good chance you’ve caught wind of the buzz surrounding Fourth Wing. Rebecca Yarros’ popular dragon-filled romantasy series (also known as the Empyrean series) took readers by storm pretty much right after it debuted in 2023, and that storm (heh) only grew leading up to the release of the third book in the series, Onyx Storm.

Let me preface this by saying that I’m a fan of The Boys. Heck, the Prime Video series is responsible for most of my initial appreciation for Jack Quaid. I point this out because I want to make it clear, I’m no stranger to on-screen gore (including some really weird, really gross things happening to people on that show). Yet, there were parts of Novocaine that I absolutely could not look directly at.
