Similar to the whole Charlize Theron/Rita Leeds thing from two days ago, I love Martin Short (OMG, if you haven’t watched Only Murders in the Building, do it), but his turn as Uncle Jack Dorso in “Ready, Aim, Marry Me” is just … gross. First off, Martin Short, an able-bodied man, is playing a disabled…

I feel like Justine Bateman’s Nellie is my favorite guest star because of how apropos and meta her casting was, just a pristine example of the type of comedy that Arrested Development was known for: obviously she’s actually Jason Bateman’s IRL sister (although not Michael Bluth’s), and she starred in a 1980s sitcom, Family Ties…

Okay, so hear me out: I love Charlize Theron. One of my favorite movies of all time is Mad Max: Fury Road, and I loved her in The Old Guard, The Fast and the Furious franchise, and Young Adult. But I really hate Rita Leeds. At the beginning of her run on Arrested Development, I…

In what is quite possibly the most fitting thing ever, my favorite recurring character just happens to be Liza Minnelli’s Lucille Austero (aka Lucille 2). First of all, can I just say how absolutely lovely Liza looks right here? That color is just divine on her. Anyway, I loved the character of Lucille 2 from…

Now, I love Alia Shawkat. She’s an incredible actor, and I’ve enjoyed her in everything that I’ve seen her in (yes, on Arrested Development, too), but Maeby? I just don’t have as much love for the character as I do for the rest of the family. Like … it’s hard to explain. She has the…

There’s no reason to hide her behind any kind of break: Lucille Bluth is by far my favorite character in Arrested Development, and honestly, the biggest reason is Jessica Walters (may her memory be a blessing). She played this role with such incredible comedic timing and unexpected depth that you instantly hated and loved Lucille…

It actually pains me to say this, but my ex-husband was actually the person to bring me into the Arrested Development fandom. He was as transfixed by the clever, self-referential writing as I would end up being, and after he had watched a few episodes on Netflix (the show had been cancelled well before then),…

So I’ve been listening to Dave Grohl’s The Storyteller, and I’m not gonna lie, it’s kind of inspired me to look into punk. I never really got into punk for whatever reason, but apparently the lead singer of one of my favorite bands can get me to try anything at least once. I can’t say…

Sooooooo … new challenge for this next month! I was actually planning on doing a different series for September, but ultimately, I decided to go another direction, which led me to … Arrested Development. I am actually so excited for this challenge because I feel like there’s so much to unpack, especially with the two…

As a graduation from nursing school gift, my family bought me an iPad Pro, something that I’d been wanting for years but just didn’t have the money for, and for the first couple of weeks after I’d turned it on, I played with it and tried my hand at a few of the Apple products…
