Status Alternative - Wristcutter's A Love Story

Hello everyone, I am back to talk about/recap the 2006 indie romance/comedy film Wristcutters: A Love Story. I stumbled upon this film 10 years ago, while channel flipping through the movie channels. I enjoyed it then, and I still really enjoy it. Trigger warning though, the film does talk about themes of suicide and I talk about those themes in this episode. Listener discretion advised and Stay Alternative!

Status Alternative - Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist: Book vs Movie

Back at it again! This time I am once again joined by my occasional co-host, my best friend Kari. We talk about one of our favorite movies, Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist. A couple of months back I read the book and thought let's compare the book and the movie! We also talk about creative liberties when it comes to book to movie adaptations and discuss Marvel and DC movies.

Status Alternative - Down in the Valley: A Look into P-Valley
play

06/30/22 • 135 min

On this episode, my rotating co-host Naomi is back! We are talking all things P-Valley. P-Valley is a Starz drama series that made its premiere in 2020, and has since then been a huge hit amongst viewers and critics alike. We go over what has happened in Season 1, talk about some changes made in Season 2 as well as our predictions for the rest of the season. We also talk about the themes of the show, the characters and why we love this show so much.

P.S. We do make the mistake a couple of times of misgendering the character Uncle Clifford, whose pronouns are she/her. But we are aware that the actor playing Uncle Clifford uses he/him. We do apologize as this was not our intention. Please enjoy that episode.

Coming at you with another "How I Got Into..." episode! This time I talk about Deathcore. I know this sounds scary and bit intimidating, but I assure you this one was fun. In this episode, I do a bit of a call back to my previous episode, how I stumbled upon this genre, and talk about the bands I have gotten into as I explored this genre.

As we come to a close with Black History Month, I shall talk about one aspect of the black community that is very much overlooked and that is alternative black culture. I discuss my thoughts on Laina Dawes' 2013 book "What Are You Doing Here?" I can relate to sometimes being the only POC in a predominately white and male space with this genre of music. Laina and a bevy of other black women talk about their experiences of being black and women in the metal, punk, hard rock and hardcore scene.

I've been an on and off WWE fan for the better part of 15+ years. In this episode I talk about why gravitated to other pro wrestling shows, why I stop and start watching and do I still watch the product now. Were you a WWE fan? Are you still watching or are you a lapsed fan? Take care!

Status Alternative - The Big Four of Grunge

The Big Four of Grunge

Status Alternative

03/16/23 • 21 min

I've wanted to talk about this one since I was in college! Right at the age of 19-20, I got big into everything, Grunge. I am one of those fans who, if I get into something, I'll do anything I can to learn more about it. For me, that was me getting into grunge music. Grunge was a term to describe the alternative rock sound that started in the mid-1980s and rose to prominence in the early 90s. Four bands solidified this term much to their chagrin: Alice in Chains, Soundgarden, Pearl Jam, and Nirvana. I talk about each of these bands, their lasting legacies, and their influence on modern rock.
