Movie Reviews and Previews Happiest Season: The Cute Christmas Rom-Com of 2020 I will be accepting no other applications, Happiest Season is THE cute Christmas rom-com of 2020.

TV Updates RIP GLOW One of my favorite shows on Netflix is GLOW, the 1980s-set dramedy about an all-women pro-wrestling show starring Alison Brie, Betty Gilpin, and Marc Maron.

Rooted in one place and doing the same show every night becomes tedious, and it forces By Sarah • Aug 15, 2019 12:29 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews The LEGO Movie 2: worn a little thin The LEGO Movie was a surprise hit—no one expected an obvious and crass commercial ploy like this would ever work—which, naturally, started a franchise. 2017 saw two LEGO spin-offs, The LEGO Batman Movie and The LEGO Ninjago movie, which was an up-and-down experience. Batman did fine, but Ninjago By Sarah • Feb 12, 2019 11:26 am
LifestyleArticle Carpets & Candids: Alison Brie’s pink 80s At the SAG Awards, Sarah wrote that Alison Brie was leaning into the GLOW 80s style vibe on the red carpet.

SAG Awards 2019 Alison Brie is living in the 80s Alison Brie was, once again, a double-nominee for her role on GLOW. GLOW is set in the 1980s. Ever since she started getting nominated for GLOW, she has really embraced the Eighties glam of GLOW, and regularly wears dresses that are sort of tacky in that over-the-top 80s way (see By Sarah • Jan 28, 2019 07:44 am
Golden Globes 2019 Chrissy Metz vs. Alison Brie via Live TV Didn’t we all agree 2019 was going to be better? Didn’t we all think we were better than this?

LifestyleArticle Carpets & Candids: Alison’s elevating white tee The dress Alison Brie is wearing here isn’t much. I mean it’s fine. It’s just not something I would pause over. The dress is not the outfit. Or, rather, the dress is not what makes the outfit stand out. The reason this outfit stands out, to me, By Lainey • Jul 31, 2018 03:07 pm

TV Updates It’s Double SAG-nominee Alison Brie’s Problem We’ll get to what she said in a minute. But we really need to take a second and talk about the truly maddening fact that Alison Brie was asked about James Franco at all.
