Hulu's Quiz Lady Review
Hulu’s ‘Quiz Lady’ is a delightful carousel of laughter and familial ties that whirls you into the zany world of trivia games and sibling camaraderie. With a stellar ensemble led by the charismatic Sandra Oh and the effervescent Awkwafina, 'Quiz Lady' intertwines humor and heart in a narrative that is as entertaining as it is evocative.

The rules governing American Football, are not without flaws... Thanks to the ineptitude of the officiating staff, fans are forced into uncivilized behaviors, like yelling at the TV or littering the field with useless garbage when objecting a flagrant call. Take the following scene for example...

Sunday Serendipity
There was a tiny, secret park in the middle of a busy city that most locals were unaware of. It was a spot of peace and comfort, nestled between soaring skyscrapers, where nature managed to cohabit with the craziness of the city. Two strangers who thought the cosmos was attempting to bring them together for a purpose were drawn to this park every Sunday.

Sailors get pooped, i.e., battered by strong waves from inclement seas. A party is not immune to getting pooped. Jeremy knew his get-together, a vehicle for reconciliation with his ex, Lila, wasn't guaranteed. Yet, it was going well. Smooth seas.

Recaffeination. Top Story - November 2023.
A pleasant neighbourhood café, he thought. Nothing about it too pretentious and maybe…just maybe…not too expensive? He looked at the tables and chairs in the dim light. Mid-afternoon, and there was still plenty of space (strange for a Friday?). And the line was not too long at the counter. Three schoolkids – did he know those uniforms – and the usual screenplay writers who would not write a damn thing… He knew the type.

“Not a fan. No. I first heard her when she was in the Sugarcubes, and I thought that it was kind of cute, but her voice just put me off. Not a fan. I mean there were some fun songs from them at the time. I liked ‘Birthday’ and ‘Delicious Demon’, and there was that last one I heard before I they broke up. I was in school and my boyfriend loved it when we danced at a club to it. And then she went solo. Not a fan… And then she started doing all that dance music. My boyfriend brought home ‘Debut’ and I did not think it was her until I heard that ‘Venus as a Boy’ thing and…he said that he wanted to see other people. And then she put out that video of her dancing in the street. So fake. Not a fan at all. Yeah, I know she had that swan dress and that people thought she was really cool and edgy, but I was just bored. And no, I ain’t going to the show she’s got at that gallery. Still not a fan…

Battling Guilt Part 2: Petra's Cousin Disappears
"Got your 'ID' ready?" Petra said, eyeing Thor as he nervously fumbled in his pocket to grab his wallet. "No. I'm not in a people mood tonight but I'm only going because of you. So if we get caught I'm going to resent you."

Donnie Mellons
"Whenever you are buying a used car from a person, there are two things you need to pay the most attention to. The headliner and the trunk. People that take care of their cars, that really love their cars and care about them, always keep the headliner and trunk clean, and in good condition, those who don't, don't. If I see a beat up, dirty headliner or trunk, I walk away." Donnie paused for a moment, furrowed his brow, obviously deep in concentration then continued. "And, oh yeah, don't forget pet hair. If you see any pet hair, it's not necessarily an instant walk away, but you better believe I am knocking the price down by 5-10% off of whatever I was already thinking about offering." Thomas thought about what he had just heard, and it seemed to make a lot of sense. Then again, anytime Donnie said anything it seemed to make a lot of sense. He spoke with an air of authority about any topic, and for both Thomas, and just about everyone else, it made it very hard to question the correctness of anything Donnie ever said about anything. The fact that Donnie had two Ph.D.'s in the biological sciences added a ton of credibility. It was a classic case of authority bias, one of Donnie's favorite cognitive biases, and, one, he never failed to use to his advantage.
