#TheStruggleIsReal 

Manners Maketh Man.  "Kingsman: The Secret Service tells the story of a super-secret spy organization that recruits an unrefined but promising street kid into the agency's ultra-competitive training program just as a global threat emerges from a twisted tech genius. Stylish, subversive, and above all fun, Kingsman finds director Matthew Vaughn sending up the spy genre with gleeful abandon." -RT 

I know you've had a void left by the finale of Breaking Bad, but good news-- Pack your backs and head back to Albuquerque!  This prequel series follow the trials and tribulations of criminal lawyer, Saul Goodman, in the time leading up to establishing his strip-mall law office in New Mexico; before he met up with Walter White and Jesse Pinkman.  I was hooked after the first episode.

This month I discovered a new favorite coffee shop hang-out.

...And it's even better when you have great company to share it with.

In Big Hero 6, young robotics prodigy Hiro Hamada learns to harness his genius- thanks to his brilliant brother and their like-minded friends. When a devastating turn of events catapults them into the midst of a dangerous plot unfolding in the streets of San Fransokyo, Hiro turns to his closest companion-a robot named Baymax-and transforms the group into a band of high-tech heroes determined to solve the mystery.  "Agreeably entertaining and brilliantly animated, BH6 is briskly-paced, action-packed, and often touching." -RT

Parks and Recreation, thank you for seven wonderful, hilarious, emotional, sweet and lovely seasons.  Your finale was PERFECTION.  I love you and I like you.  

...And I sure will miss you.

One upstaged the Super Bowl half-time show.  One stole the Grammys telecast.  One got disrespected by Kanye. And then one took Kanye to church.  It was a 90's (and early 00's) Throwback this month as favorite tunes from Beck, Missy Elliot, Annie Lenox and Garbage found their way back onto my February playlist loop.

Simmons and Miles Teller." -RT

Whether you have a Red Room of Pain or not, there's no denying the awesomeness of the 50 Shades of Grey soundtrack.  Favorite tracks include: Annie Lenox's I Put a Spell On You, Ellie Goulding's Love Me Like You Do, Laura Welsh's Undiscovered and of course Beyonce's 50SoG Crazy in Love Remix.  Now what you do while listening to it, now that's your business.

Live from New York... Tina Fey.  Amy Poehler.  Kristen Wiig.  Maya Rudolph.  Molly Shannon.  Rachel Dratch. Cheri Oteri.  Ana Gasteyer.  Julia Louis-Dreyfus.  Kate McKinnon.  Jan Hooks. Julia Sweeney.  Aidy Bryant.  Over the past couple decades SNL has given the world some of my all-time favorites, that always make me laugh.  Sure there have been some great guys too, but clearly I prefer the ladies!

I've got a new guilty pleasure.  After hearing about the incredible overnight success of Empire, I decided to check it out for myself.  I was instantly hooked on the new FOX nighttime soap.  Full of drama, with its top-notch cast, musical entertainment, and engrossing plots it's not hard to see why!  Also: Cookie.
