Lover of shitty romcoms, the Coney Island duck machine, and emotionally manipulative cats. You can find more of my writing at Seventh Row.

'Gilmore Girls' Season 1, Episode 12: Double Date

Directing and writing credits: Written by Amy Sherman-Palladino, directed by Lev L. Spiro. In an attempt to find an old interview with ASP, I stumbled across this behind the scenes documentary from Season 1 (it was a special feature on the DVDs). Check it out if you have 20 minutes

'Top of the Lake: China Girl' Season 2, Episode 4: Birthday

This episode was hard to watch. Puss is maybe one of the most despicable, vomit-inducing TV villains I've ever come across. If I encountered a man like him in the real world, I don't think I could retain my composure as well as Robin. I would

Interview with Skyler Barrett on 'Reckless Juliets' (2016)

"Reckless Juliets" is a darkly comedic, award-winning web series about 4 teen girls who are headstrong, fascinating, and somehow likable even though they're kind of assholes. Skyler Barrett is the creator, writer, director, and casting director behind the project. We chatted over email after I watched

'Gilmore Girls' Season 1, Episode 11: Paris is Burning

Directing and writing credits: Written by Joan Binder Weiss, directed by David Petrarca. Binder Weiss also wrote "Love and War and Snow," which I watched last week. I wish I could find a solid interview with her somewhere or more information, but I poked around and came up

'Top of the Lake: China Girl' Season 2, Episode 3: Surrogate

Today I saw a review on The Atlantic with this subheading: "Elizabeth Moss, Nicole Kidman, and Gwendoline Christie star in a returning series gone very wrong." Admittedly, I haven't finished the season yet, but after an episode like this one, I'm pretty shocked there&

'Top of the Lake: China Girl' Season 2, Episode 2: The Loved One

In Season 1 of "Top of the Lake," Jane Campion worked with an Australian co-director named Garth Davis. He only directed one episode alone, but worked with Campion on 4 others. At the time, I was like, "Who the hell is this guy?" He was an

'Top of the Lake: China Girl' Season 2, Episode 1

"Top of the Lake" is back and I couldn't be happier. Jane Campion is one of the best living directors and I'm happy to watch her work on the big or small screen. If you've never watched "Top of the Lake&

'Gilmore Girls' Season 1, Episode 10: Forgiveness and Stuff

Directing and writing credits: Written by John Stephens, directed by Bethany Rooney. Stephens seems to specialize in teen shows that I weirdly love and have re-watched multiple times even though I'm an adult with self-proclaimed good taste. Please don't judge me. He's written 7

'Gilmore Girls' Season 1, Episode 9: Rory's Dance

Directing and writing credits: Written by Amy Sherman-Palladino, directed by Lesli Linka Glatter. I'm pretty sure I could identify every episode written by the Palladinos without the help of IMDB. They each have such distinctive writing styles and the joke and insult density is unparalleled by any of

'Pariah' (2011) by Dee Rees

Vibe: I knew immediately that this film was shot in Brooklyn, but had I not known the year, I would have had trouble guessing. It opens at a strip club with ladies dancing to Khia's "My Neck, My Back," but somehow feels timeless. The cinematography, which

'Gilmore Girls' Season 1, Episode 6: Rory's Birthday Parties

Directing and writing credits: Written by Amy Sherman-Palladino, directed by Sarah Pia Anderson. This is a very solid ASP episode - probably in my top five. My friend Ali and I have a master list of all-time favorite "GG" episodes and "Rory's Birthday Parties"
