Movie Reviews and Previews Intro for December 4, 2025 Dear Gossips, My favorite time of year is the liminal space between Christmas and New Year's. My birthday falls during that time.

Music Miley is engaged Miley Cyrus is on the Avatar: Fire and Ash soundtrack. The new song is called “Dream As One” and she’s been hyping it for a while.
