What Iām watching
In the early 2000s, country music star Reba McEntire had her own sitcom with the strangest premise. Reba learns her husband is leaving her for another woman who is pregnant, while discovering her 17-year-old daughter is also pregnant. If you asked me what Reba was about before watching it, not in a million years would I have guessed that.
In doing my research, I learned that the character of the other woman, Barbra Jean, had a big moment in Rebaās concerts around that time. Before playing the sitcomās theme song, Reba would speak to a pre-recorded Barbra Jean whoās trying to hack into the concertās computer system.
What Iām reading
I just finished an incredible book, Columbine by Dave Cullen. This is the definitive story of the tragedy at Columbine High School in 1999. If you think you know how everything happened, I guarantee you youāre wrong. The perpetrators of this crime were not bullied, they were not fans of Marilyn Manson, and they were not part of the ātrench coat mafia.ā Columbine is a fascinating and disturbing look at what humans are capable of when they want to make an impact.
What Iām making
Itās movie night on the latest bonus episode of Vanderpump Robs Premium. Mark PagĆ”n from Other Men Need Help joins me to talk about the 2009 hit film Heās Just Not That Into You. Mark and I look back at how rom-coms have affected us over the years, why we think this film worked well at the time, and whether the movie withstands the test of time (it doesnāt).
