The first celebrity I remember being obsessed with was as standard as they came in the ‘90s, and that’s JTT. Who didn’t love the ‘Home Improvement’ star back then? Of course, between JTT and the boy band craze of the late ‘90s, a few other famous faces got my prepubescent heart racing; Luke Perry’s Dylan... Continue Reading →
Crazy Rich Movie Crush
It’s hard to remember a time before COVID but alas, there was. Years prior to 2020 in which I didn’t know just how many grown-ass people around me were that freaking stupid. Oh, to be oblivious to the idiots again…Those years were also filled with so many instances of sneaking snacks into morning matinees. One... Continue Reading →
A Transformative ‘90s Crush
We’re heading back to the ‘90s with Benjamin Carlton this week, a man who is proud to say he’s Black, gay, and a minister. You’ll get to hear more about all of that and a couple of crushes he had back in the day later this week but first up…my chat with him led me... Continue Reading →
Anime Crush Mornings
When singer-songwriter Desarae Wyn first said she wanted to talk about her anime crush I thought, awesome! We’ve had a few guests come through like Willie Nillie Knits and Todd Wayyco talk at length about their love of the genre and whatnot but when they did so it was an animated and middle school crush...

Kevin McCallister: The Ultimate Holiday Movie Crush
If you haven’t guessed by reading and listening since April of this year, I’m a huge fan of the decade that brought us everything from Beanie Babies to lifelong emotional trauma set off by a series of unfortunate world events. Yup, the ‘90s. And there was no one cooler to a kid during that era... Continue Reading →
2021 Crush: Head of the Class
Before the holidays get underway and we officially say goodbye to another year of supposed social distancing, and hope in the form of a vaccine that was later booted back down to panic thanks to yet another one of COVID’s little friends coming around…I wanted to go over my top crushes of the past 300...

A Very Pretty ‘90s Movie Crush
Well, well, well look where we are again - the ‘90s. More specifically, we’re talking about the ‘90s movie crushes this week because author James Flynn picked one hell of a character from a 1994 film that truly slayed. We’ll get more to that later this week, but James’ crush did inspire me to head... Continue Reading →
Hello! This is Broadway Crush
Sometime before the school year began in 2001 we had to get our schedule. 9th grade. This was it. Only four more years of required education and how was it starting? With fucking theater…As a fat, shy kid who would rather chance being buried alive than have any sort of spotlight on them, I immediately... Continue Reading →
The Sexiest Man Alive Crush
For as long as I have been paying attention, People Magazine has dropped their “Sexiest Man Alive!” issue around Thanksgiving. I know this because I have bought it for the past x-amount of years to play “Who Would You Rather Bang?” with my grandma. Sadly, grandma passed away a few years ago but that hasn’t...

Weaseling Weasley: The Harry Potter Crush
The books had made enough noise that my grandma thought that's something Kendra would like. It took me .3 seconds to open the first ‘Harry Potter’ book, look at the weezlebubs and whosywhats, and think…yeah, not for me. With that, the rest of the series came and went, as did the movies. I never read... Continue Reading →
