pop culture essays for the ones who never want to stop learning

Writer. Mom. Lover of pop culture.

I don’t require media to be good. I require it to be interesting.

Why, hello.

I’m Erin

I’m not someone who can just watch a movie or read a book and not dig deep. The way I have fun is critically breaking something down to its core. What is it trying to say? Is it actually doing that effectively? What does its creation and reception say about culture at large? This is what I live for.

If obsessing over random 2000s movies and examining how contemporary TV shows tick is your thing too, you should hang out and maybe even subscribe.
