The Pickety Witch — I would like to order a nap

My introduction is that I’m tired. Monday after what was quite possibly the shortest four-day weekend ever came in hot. I have fun stuff to share with you but most of it’s not finished yet, and that string of incoherence is brought to you by 4 hours of sleep.

I hope your Thanksgiving was neat if you celebrate. If you don’t, well, I still hope your day was neat and there ain’t a damn thing you can do about it.

I sat down with Hawkeye’s Hailee Steinfeld and Jeremy Renner to ask some hard hitting questions. The series is swell. I look forward to episode 3!

Also, you can’t hear my voice, but here’s the convo with the incredible Trinh Tran and Rhys Thomas about Matt Fraction’s involvement, and just how much Hawkeye will tie into the MCU as a whole.

I saw something tonight that I cannot wait to gush to you about, but I can’t yet! What I will say is good golly I can’t wait till we turn Ansel Elgort into a meme.

I’ve also got another interview on the books that I will absolutely shriek from the rooftops once it’s in the can. (Ok, maybe not, that seems weird. But what I’m trying to say is that I’m very, very excited.) Keep your peepers peeled next weekish, probably. Maybe. What is time?

[whispers] end of year lists are coming. Mine too! But I have approximately eleventy billion things to catch up on before that happens. The tentative plan is to have a separate Top 10 come out each week leading up to my top 10 films of the year. But you know what they say about plans.

In a perfect world, Tuesdays in December will look something like this:

The overhaul is coming! It’ll go live Dec. 1. Don’t worry. You’ll know. In the meantime: HI NEW COVEN BUDS!

I feel like this issue isn’t long enough. So I brought you some cute animals.

Yes. The last one is mine. He got a spoonful of peanut butter for Thanksgiving. That means nothing to anyone, but he’s cute when he eats peanut butter off the spoon. And now you know.

Have you checked out the Merri Hour yet? The weekly YouTube show is hosted by Matt Donato and Perri Nemiroff. The two discuss all the goings on of the movie world, and then Perri destroys Matt at beer pong. As both a guest and a frequent watcher of the show (Fridays at 4:30PM PST/7:30PM EST), I can assure you it’s well worth your time. It’s one of the few good things to come out of quarantine. Watch their socials (tagged above) for the weekly link, or subscribe directly to Perri’s YouTube channel so you get the notifications!
