Happy Kimmy Schmidt Day! All 13 episodes of the new Netflix original series are now available to stream. Gina and I are so excited about Tina Fey working in sitcoms again that we decided to devote an entire season of a podcast to it (our first episode drops Tuesday, March 10). The show stars Ellie Kemper, who plays a woman recently liberated from a cult. That sounds darker than I think it’s intended to be, but watch the trailer if you don’t believe me. Here’s why you should be excited to binge-watch this show this weekend.

We’ve all made at least one regrettable decision when it comes to picking a date night movie. This post was inspired by the time I watched Blue Valentine with my then-boyfriend — on Valentines Day. There’s nothing like watching the crippling depression of two people who shouldn’t be together trudging on with their lives to make you really feel the love. For those of you looking for actual suggestions, I’ve included a list of legitimate movie recommendations for your Valentines Day weekend — but we all know the bad ones are more fun to think about, right?

“What A Terrible World, What A Beautiful World,” Reviewed

The Decemberists celebrated the release of their new album, “What A Terrible World, What A Beautiful World,” with a performance in Portland January 20, the day it came out. The city declared it “Decemberists Day,” and the mayor presented the band with a custom quilt made of squares representing local artists and businesses. This pageantry is possibly nauseating to some, but wonderful to me, because I love Portland, and I love the Decemberists.
