My Review of "Day Shift"
Day Shift is a 2022 Netflix exclusive movie. It's a got a few bigger names to the cast to give it some legitimacy but don't mistaken this for a big budget action film. That's not to say this movie isn't enjoyable. They did get a lot of things right but it definitely does have that straight to home video feel to it in the end.

New York Times bestselling author Tiffany D. Jackson ramps up the horror and tackles America’s history and legacy of racism in this suspenseful YA novel following a biracial teenager as her Georgia high school hosts its first integrated prom. When Springville residents—at least the ones still alive—are questioned about what happened on prom night, they all have the same explanation . . . Maddy did it. An outcast at her small-town Georgia high school, Madison Washington has always been a teasing target for bullies. And she's dealt with it because she has more pressing problems to manage. Until the morning a surprise rainstorm reveals her most closely kept secret: Maddy is biracial. She has been passing for white her entire life at the behest of her fanatical white father, Thomas Washington. After a viral bullying video pulls back the curtain on Springville High's racist roots, student leaders come up with a plan to change their image: host the school's first integrated prom as a show of unity. The popular white class president convinces her Black superstar quarterback boyfriend to ask Maddy to be his date, leaving Maddy wondering if it's possible to have a normal life. But some of her classmates aren't done with her just yet. And what they don't know is that Maddy still has another secret . . . one that will cost them all their lives.
Cyn's WorkshopPublished about a year ago in Geeks& Juliet - Review
The Jukebox Musical genre is generally not seen as a forum for creative or unusual storytelling, but & Juliet is more ambitious than most, using its millennial pop hits to provide a more unconventional twist on the story of Romeo & Juliet. Most Jukebox musicals honour a certain artist (e.g Mamma Mia) or a certain time period (e.g Rock of Ages) but & Juliet does something a little different by using songs from a single megaproducer. Max Martin is the most powerful man in millennial pop, having written and produced dozens of hits over the last 25 years, including 25 US Number Ones and 20 UK Number Ones. Martin’s success won’t stop anytime soon - Since & Juliet premiered, he has written songs for Lady Gaga, Coldplay, BTS and Lizzo and created the Weeknd megahit “Blinding Lights”. & Juliet contains 30 Max Martin hits* from 17 different artists, including The Backstreet Boys, Britney Spears, Bon Jovi and Katy Perry. We are all familiar with the majority of these songs, but could they work in the story-driven world of theatre?

In 2007, the Eighth Doctor was given a new lease of life when Big Finish combined with BBC Radio 7 to bring us the Eighth Doctor Adventures. Partnering him with Sheridan Smith's Lucie Miller, the series was a hit success, and paved the way for a whole new format for Paul McGann's Time Lord. However, there still remained the thorny issue of McGann's previous companions: Edwardian adventuress Charlotte Pollard and Eutermesan C'rizz. And so, towards the end of 2007, Big Finish released two stories to conclude the character's journey's: "Absolution", which brought C'rizz travels to an end, and "The Girl Who Never Was", which would write out Charley. And this is as fitting a finale as you can get, with high stakes, some dramatic cliff-hangers, and, of course, the return of the Cybermen. This all makes for a fine send off for the Edwardian adventuress.

Anticipated release date: April 4th, 2023! Eli Cranor's Ozark Dogs is a thrilling read about family, town politics, and Southern justice.

Cranor is also the author of Don't Know Tough, which was given an award for the Peter Lovesey First Crime Novel Contest.

The Bear (FX)is one of those shows that starts off really strong, and never makes you question why you turned it on. One season, eight episodes, and a pity there wasn't more.

Sheng Wang: Sweet and Juicy is one of many Netflix comedy specials to have come out in 2022. I wasn't too sure about this one because I haven't heard of him before. This one is endorsed by Ali Wong so it can't be too bad right? I know I'm a fan of her so her sense of humor so if she says it's good I'll watch it.
