Movies I’m Weirdly Obsessed With: A Kid in King Arthur’s Court

There is this weird subsection of my movie collection that are movies that I’m inexplicably obsessed with. These movies are sometimes good, sometimes terrible. Honestly, most of them make little to no sense and for some reason incite very specific emotional responses in me. I’ve decided to go ahead and chronicle some of these movies […]

Ladyghosts of TV Past: Battlestar Galactica: 3.14: “A Day in the Life”

Well, this was incredibly good timing! This week’s episode of Battlestar Galactica focuses HUGELY on being a father, and, well, yesterday was Father’s Day in the U.S. Even more interestingly, it’s about being an imperfect father, and about priorities. We get a lot of insight into the Adama father-son relationship, too, so that’s always fun.

This episode? I really don’t have a damn clue what the title is referencing. And interestingly, Edward James Olmos (that’s Bill Adama to […]
