Years before Spice Girls and Backstreet Boys entered my life, there was another group that owned my heart. They were also the reason, alongside JTT and Devon Sawa, that I started getting teen magazines in the first place, although not as much as when Nick Carter and Co. synchronized danced into the picture. They were... Continue Reading →
Crush Adventure: The Dating Apps
Dating has gone through so many evolutions, and if you’re a human behavior (I think that’s the best way to put it) nerd, then I’d advise checking out Aziz Ansari’s ‘Modern Romance’ to dive into the past because when it comes to the present, we’re going to talk about that right here, right now. Yes,... Continue Reading →
The World’s Too Dark Not to Have a Comedian Crush
Today Comedy Central seems like a network dedicated to bringing people nothing but reruns of ‘South Park’ and ‘The Office,’ which is totally fine. I don’t have cable, instead I pay for way too many streaming services - but I see it whenever I’m at a hotel and refuse to leave because the world is... Continue Reading →
Theater Crush: A Background Education
Ask anyone I grew up with to describe me in three words and I guarantee that “shy” would almost always be in the mix because well, I was - and still very much am. I’ve never been one to put myself out there. For as far back as I can remember I was never the... Continue Reading →
Backstreet Boys: A Lifetime of Moments
Beatlemania came and went and from that a handful of family-centric groups. After that, New Edition planted the idea for New Kids On The Block, and in 1993 Backstreet Boys were born. April 20, 1993, to be exact, and this week is all about that 30th anniversary. In April 1993 I was four days away... Continue Reading →
The Bright Lights of an ‘80s Movie Crush
There were a lot of movies that scared me as a kid, but for some reason the antics of mogwais that had gone rogue never caused me to cry, but rather made me want to hit rewind and watch over and over again. Yup, this week we’re talking to Kris and Deb from ‘Today We... Continue Reading →
Hallelujah, a Reality TV Crush
The 2000s are often looked at as the era of television in which reality took over, but long before Paris Hilton launched “That’s hot” into the zeitgeist we were already accustomed to its addicting ways via daytime talk shows that showcased everything from out of control teens to much-needed makeovers, as well as series like...

Crazy Rich Leading Man Crush
At the start of the year, we talked to Amanda Kohlhofer from ‘The Sip List’ about her Lifelong Crush on Ben Affleck, and that spawned a top 10 dedicated to actors in the same category; leading men who many would likely have on their own lifelong crush list. Fast forward a few months and now... Continue Reading →
A TV Genre Crush That Goes There
Do you ever talk to someone and think, I think this person and I have to be related somehow? Well, that happened when I connected with fellow podcaster and host of ‘Totally Ranked’ and ‘People Don’t Forget,’ Scott Grimes. We’re both mixed, grew up immersed in the emo scene, and have a love affair with... Continue Reading →
A Beauty of an Oscar Winner Crush
Firsts are always going to be memories that stay with you forever, hopefully. Whether they’re good or bad; like my first time going to the movies. It was good because I saw one of the best Disney movies, but also bad because afterward, I ran straight into a brick wall trying to win a race... Continue Reading →
