Pee-Wee’s Big Holiday, Joe Manganiello & an interactive map.

As a Stream Team member, I usually blog about the best of Netflix’s streaming best…but THIS month I get to give an insider’s look at the Netflix Original movie Pee-Wee’s Big Holiday. They also gave me a map! I’m drunk on power. Follow along! (But hands off my root beer barrels and my Joe Manganiello.) *** If you grew up thinking Pee-Wee’s playhouse, contraptions, and speech patterns were the height of comedy… ..then you probably didn’t grow up at all. {Read More}

Loving on LEGO with Netflix & the #StreamTeam.

This month, Netflix wants to know how you LEGO! Join me, willya? (As a member of the Stream Team, I post monthly about the best of the streaming best, but all thoughts, opinions, and superhero LEGO love are entirely my own.) ** Are you a LEGO person? (As in, have you built with them/surrounded yourself by them/stepped on them on the way to the bathroom at 2am and thought maybe- just maybe- this would be how it ended for you?) {Read More}

10 quotes that’ll get you stoked for Season 2 of Marvel’s Daredevil on Netflix.

Friends, this is my very last of this year’s TCA conference posts for Netflix, but I’ve saved a near n’ dear one for the finale. As a member of Netflix’s Stream Team, I got to sit in an interview for Marvel’s Daredevil, and hoo boy, the stuff I now know! (FYI, Season Two begins streaming on March 18th.

Snuggling up with the Stream Team.

As a member of Netflix’s Stream Team, I’m contractually allowed to gush about the best of their streaming best. (And lately, that’s been a whole heck of a lot of Fuller House. Can you blame me? FEBRUARY 26TH.) That said, all thoughts, opinions, and wine consumption is entirely my own. *** This month, Netflix and the #StreamTeam want to know how you, well, do nothing.   What’s your ideal night in? According to our kids, nothing’s fancier than popping some popcorn {Read More}

The Fuller House cast, family time (& high-fiving the Tanner girls)

If it was a Friday night- or later on, a Tuesday- between the years of 1987 and 1995, you knew where you were. Sitting on your couch, staring at the Tanner family’s blue plaid couch. Full House was that unicorn of a show which transcended demographic, because we all loved it. We were all of us Tanners. Which is pretty crazy, if you think about it. I didn’t have a whole heck of a lot in common with Danny, Jesse, {Read More}

Netflix & why you should be watching the newest “Degrassi”

You know Degrassi. I know you know Degrassi. Either you- or your babysitter- watched those independent Kids of Degrassi Street from ’79 to ’86. This was followed up by the groundbreaking series Degrassi Junior High which, from 1987 to 1989, followed a fictitious Canadian school and the all-too-real issues of its student body. Teenage pregnancy? Racism? Divorce? Nothing was off-limits- to the shock of the teenaged viewing audience and occasional dismay of their viewing parents. After junior high, logically, comes {Read More}

TCA 2016 highlights, Netflix greatness, and a Fuller House selfie.

Even though I’m devoted to Netflix foreverandeveramen as a member of their Stream Team- and this was a Netflix-sponsored trip- all thoughts, opinions, and fangirling moments are entirely my own. *** Not gonna lie, 2016 started off with a bang. More specifically, it started off with Netflix sending me to California to attend the TCA (Television Critics Association) conference for what I’m terming Netflix’s Day of Incredible Programming and My Subsequent Gushing, Seriously, This Is My Job Today? I love you, {Read More}

As part of Netflix’s Stream Team, I get to bring you the scoop each month on the newest, brightest, biggest, and late-nightest of their exceptional programming. Stay tuned for next week’s recap of my recent trip to Los Angeles…because I’ve got deets about Fuller House, Degrassi, Daredevil, and that time I ate a weirdly big sandwich in front of Ashton Kutcher. *** It’s a new year, people. (It’s actually almost a new month, people, but 2016 is gonna be all {Read More}
