MWG: Big Trouble in Little China
It is Jim’s turn to pick the movie for us this month. Here is what he said when asked to pick a movie, “I’m going to go with the great John Carpenter masterpiece, Big Trouble in Little China.” I’m surprised he didn’t pick it sooner. Netflix synopsis: Traveling through...
Where the Wild Things Are
I read the book when I was kid, but I don’t remember much about it beyond the pictures. That is what stuck with me over the years. I saw it with only that memory, but guessed I would enjoy it since Spike Jonze is an oddball. I wasn’t disappointed....
Top Chef Masters: Romantic Duos
Top Chef Masters First Date Dinner I didn’t do recaps of the first season, but I thought I’d try it out for this season since Amy likes the pictures of food. I’m behind, like usual, but here goes! This time, at the end of each episode, two chefs would...
Amazing Race: Nom Nom Nom

MWG: Red Sonja

Amazing Race Cathy Drone Hello! A few weeks ago, I spent too much time outside the house on Spring Break and no time watching The Amazing Race. Now I’m trying to play catch up with some recaps a few weeks too late. Please enjoy! The detectives were the first...
Alice in Wonderland
Going into the movie, I thought it was going to be a movie version of the Lewis Carroll classic, but it turns out that it is based on the characters with its own story. Alice did visit Underland when she was little. They make a joke that she called...
Amazing Race: Huddled in the Trenches
Amazing Race I Think We’re Fighting the Germans, Right? At the pit stop, teams boarded a bus from Hamburg, Germany and traveled to an unknown destination. They are really liking the bus system this season. On the bus, Joe was nursing his hurt knee. He said that he wasn’t...
Amazing Race: Bitter Beer Face
Amazing Race We Are No Longer in the Bible Belt They have had eating challenges before, but I’m not sure what took them so long to have a beer challenge. I know they have done it as a speed bump, but not as one that everyone had to participate...
Amazing Race: Oh My Gravy!
Amazing Race Run Like Scalded Dogs! I am enjoying the cowboys this season. I like how all the other teams didn’t think they had anything to offer, but they actually know how to read clues carefully and aren’t depending on other teams to get them to where they need...
