Good morning, Erin.  I went into Mask Girl with very little idea of what I was getting myself into—deliberately so. Initially, I’d just wanted to see Nana in something new, having loved her in Glitch (and the interviews she did to promote it), and, because this was her next project, that was really all I needed to know marking this one on my calendar.  Then, when the promotional material started coming out and assured me that this would be a psychological mystery thriller, I decided it was best to keep my distance from trailers as much as possible, fearing more about the plot would be revealed than I would want to have going into the series.  Then came the buzz in the week or so before the release, and I started to get excited.  And then the day finally arrived, and… Hope is a dangerous thing, Erin.  So…y’wanna hear a thing or two about the (spoiler alert) unmitigated disaster that was Mask Girl ? 1. First things first: this is ABSOLUTELY NOT a psychological my...

Good morning, Erin. I’ve been looking at clouds, lately.  We very often consider only the clouds directly above us: “It looks like it might rain,” or “It’s shaped like a bunny”—that kind of thing.  But I’ve been taking in a lot more than that. Sitting at red lights or when I’m out for a walk, I’ve been marveling at how, if you follow the trail of them, the clouds seem to go on forever into the distance, only disappearing when they finally fall behind the horizon.  I know that the Earth is round. And I know that the sky is pretty much an illusion. But knowing it and recognizing it are two very different things.  So, I spend a lot of time staring up at the sky, watching the clouds, feeling like we are encased in a giant, glass ball…which is wondrous. And altogether terrifying.  …I’ve been very distracted by beauty , of late, which I’d like to think is me opening myself up spiritually to the world around me. At the same time, I can’t help but feel entirely separat...

Good morning, Erin. As Mr. Queen turns out to be a much, um, slower watch than I had anticipated, and with all the other shows on my current watch list still weeks and weeks away from wrapping up, I took a little detour into the world of cinema, temporarily allowing me to sate my lack of interpersonal affection by cooing over pretty Korean gir—um, I mean, allowing me to enjoy some easy-to-manage stories starring some of my favorite actors (whom I may, coincidentally, also have crushes on maybe who knows).  Excited? Of course you are!  No spoilers. I. Dream The dude from Secretary Kim coaches a handful of homeless men who will represent South Korea in an international soccer tournament. And also IU is there.   1. It’s almost wrong to start with this one, Erin, because it is F***ING AWESOME, and I had THE BEST time with it. Funny, brilliantly paced, heartfelt—just an all-around triumph, from the writing to the acting to the direction to the editing. Absolutely loved it. M...
