Movie Monday May 16: Shall We Dance

I was feeling a bit nostalgic today, as I often do on rainy Mondays, so I was in the mood for a classic. After scouring my various streaming services, I decided to watch a RKO picture that I haven’t seen since my first semester of film studies class: Shall We Dance (1937). **Warning, mild spoilers ahead, so if you haven’t watched the movie yet, what are you doing…

Movie Monday April 4: The Bubble

This movie took me on a wild ride. **Warning, mild spoilers ahead, so if you haven’t watched the…
