The awesome Kelly at KellyVision started posting a weekly post highlighting whatever she happened to be obsessed with that week. I LOVE this idea, so much in fact that I will be doing it myself every weekend.
There isn't a whole lot to be excited about right now. Things are pretty not great. However, I do have a few things providing some brightness in all of this.
It's a very Ratched focused post this week!
TV/MOVIES
Ratched Key Art Posters
I was sold instantly because of Ryan Murphy and Sarah Paulson being attached to this. The posters have a very specific vibe. I love how similar to American Horror Story: Asylum it feels.
Those who love One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest will want to check out this origin story of an iconic character. I predict Emmy love for Sarah Paulson.
Rachted Trailer
I love everything about this. I've watched it at least 20 times. The use of the song, Sarah freaking Paulson absolutely killing it, and a supporting cast that looks fantastic.
Love the glimpses of Finn Wittrock that we've seen! I am very excited to learn more about his character. This is my September must watch and I predict it'll become one of my faves of the year.

BOOKS Morgan Matson Book 6 (goodreads)
Morgan recently released the title of her upcoming book as well as a release date. Take Me Home Tonight will be out May 4, 2021. We know it takes place all in one night, and revolves around a friendship. Morgan has described it as Adventures in Babysitting meets Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist so it sounds like it is going to be fun.
The cover and other details should be revealed soon-ish so I'll share them once they are available.
Cover of Lore by Alexandra Bracken (goodreads)
I did not know much about this book until I saw this attention grabbing cover.
Amazing right? It immediately draws your eye and stands out. The book, obviously, involves Greek mythology and the cover perfectly captures that. I am looking forward to this now and am so glad it came to my attention because of this amazing cover.
TV/MOVIES The Umbrella Academy Season 2 trailer
I loved season one of this show so much. I love the dysfunctional family dynamic mixed with superpowers vibe that it has got going on.
This trailer makes it look like we're in for the same great combo of incredible action with some great humour. I hope we get just as much focus on the family bonds as we did in the first season. This show works because we care about the characters so I hope that is continued.
Lucifer Season 5 trailer
It was just announced that Lucifer will be getting a sixth and final season which made me really excited. I was even more excited when they released the trailer for the upcoming season.
The fact that they are willing to spoil the twin reveal means that it is probably not a secret for long which I am happy about. This trailer makes me confident that they can pull off another great season that is comparable to the fantastic fourth season and I cannot wait to end the summer with this.

BOOKS Cover of Christina Lauren's In A Holidaze (goodreads)
This is the first book that Christina Lauren has written that is set during the holidays and I was super excited to see how cute the cover is!
This is perfect for the holidays. It's bright and cheerful in the way that you associate with that time of year. I predict many people will be enjoying it as a means to destress after holiday shopping. TV/MOVIES The Umbrella Academy Season 2 Release Date Announcement
I loved season one of Umbrella Academy and have been eagerly awaiting news on when season two would be released. Netflix just recently shared this adorable video that announces the release date as July 31!
Those have watched the first season will recognize that they are sort of recreating the iconic dance scene that uses the same song. It's perfect and I love this cast.

I feel like TV is really the only thing getting announcements right now. Everything is kind of on hold while we practice social distancing for the foreseeable future.
TV/MOVIES Trailer for The Forgotten West Memphis Three
The West Memphis Three case is one of those cases that I wish was definitively solved. It's always angered me that this case was so badly handled and that the three victims never really got justice.
There is a new two night special event airing on the Oxygen network (which we cannot get in Canada) that I am hoping to eventually be able to check out.
I am curious to see what new leads might come out of this special. It seems like they are doing a lot of forensic testing so hopefully something comes from it.
The first episode actually aired yesterday on the Oxygen Network, with the second to air this evening. I think it is available to stream on the Oxygen app in the United States for those interested.
Defending Jacob Trailer
This immediately caught my attention because it has Chris Evans in it. It also happens to be based on a book which also tends to make me pay attention to something.
This looks really good, and I am glad Chris is taking so many different kinds of roles right now. It is going to help distance him from just being seen as Captain America.
This will be on Apple TV+ in April and I cannot wait to check it out.

I know this is late, but it is a holiday here for most of Canada so I decided to share it today instead. Happy Monday, everyone! BOOKS Cover of Crazy Stupid Bromance by Lyssa Kay Adams (goodreads)
This cover is incredibly cute! I love the covers for this series and think this one just might be my favourite out of the bunch
I need to read this as soon as possible! I urge you to read the other books in the series if you haven't already done so.
MOVIES/TV *** DO NOT WATCH IF YOU DO NOT WANT INFORMATION ABOUT SEASON FOUR ***
The Stranger Things creators gave us a Valentine's Day present when they dropped this teaser for the fourth season of the show. The fact that they revealed the information contained in this video has me excited for a couple different reasons.
If you're okay with knowing some information about the fourth season check out the video below.
The fact that they are revealing this only makes me excited for what BIGGER reveals are to come. This felt like a huge thing to share so I expect that whatever they are holding back is going to be pretty exciting.
I am just glad we got this bit of information so that it doesn't have to be the focus of the upcoming marketing campaign for the show!

Mindhunter season two releases on August 16th and that is pretty much all I care about right now (other than Succession returning this weekend for its second season).
TV/MOVIES
Mindhunter Season Two Trailers
Netflix has released both a teaser and full length trailer for the upcoming second season. Both are incredible and only make me want to watch the next season immediately.
I especially love our first looks at some of the new serial killers being interviewed. This show's casting is always spot on when it comes to the interview subjects.
I was particularly glad to see Cameron Britton back as Ed Kemper. He and Holden are going to have lots to discuss after that first season finale.
Succession Season Two Trailer
Succession is returning this weekend and I could not be more happy. I was late to season one and didn't watch it until after the season had already aired so I am excited to be part of the conversation each week for this season.
Everyone in this show is horrible. I have seen it described as Game of Thrones in boardrooms but everyone is a Lannister and that is pretty accurate.
The finale of season one was bananas in the best possible way so I am excited to see where the story goes in season two. I am laughing already at the Cousin Greg and Tom scene. I also look forward to see Kieran Culkin deliver another amazing performance (still bitter that he is not up for an Emmy this year).
