“She’s completely bald in front!”
BSC best practice: always pack exorcism materials in your kid kit.
Remembering when I was allowed to have eyebrows.
Episode 53: Here comes The Woman in Black
This week, we watched the 2012 horror film The Woman in Black, starring a glowed-up Harry Potter and our current older bae Ciarán Hinds. It was even spoopier than I even remembered. If you’re in the mood for some Halloween fun, it’s available for streaming for free on Amazon Prime.
Knock knock, bitch.
Watch it, Mr. Rochester. Five more mean comments and I’ll devote my whole life to you.
Your stage name is WHAT now, Sarah?
Mediocrities everywhere! I absolve you.
Et tu, Ciarán?
We didn't even mention Natalie Dormer, but she's clearly the star of the whole series.

Episode 44: [SAMPLER PLATTER] Harlots
This week we're kicking off a sampler platter miniseries, in which we watch the first episode or two of a period piece television show to give you a little taste of what they're about. We started with Hulu's Harlots, starring Samantha Morton and Lesley Manville as dueling brothel proprietors.
Content warning: this show is about prostitution in the 18th century, so there is a lot of sexual abuse and assault depicted. It's definitely not for everyone, and that's ok.
Episode 43: #TimesUp Bubbalub
Eww, a banana? Really?
An Education was our introduction to the luminous Carey Mulligan, wherein she played 17-year-old francophile Jenny Mellor in early-1960s suburban London. We relate to this character as a (less sheltered, more taken-advantage-of) version of our younger selves, who were similarly pretentious and culturally-obsessed. This is a (more or less) easy-breezy 100 minutes, and definitely worth a watch if you haven't seen it recently.
She's too pure to be pink.
