We’re playing catch up this week on Pop Talk with Rach! Lucky for you, you’re getting two What I Logged on Letterboxd this week. Let’s get into it.
April 17th: Christine (1983): 2.5/5
This was another film that I did not choose to watch, haha. I was once again staying the night at my parents house, and my dad was eager to show me this 80’s horror classic. I’ll be honest — I didn’t love it. The script had some really cringey moments and the misogyny was more evident than usual for an 80’s film. There were some good moments — the horror elements were done pretty well and the first 5 minutes were great. But overall, I would say that you can skip this one.
April 20th: White Hot: The Rise and Fall of Abercrombie & Fitch (2022): 3/5
Available to stream on: Netflix
A Netflix original documentary, White Hot touches on many different points about the clothing brand, Abercrombie & Fitch. It follows the history of the company, the past problematic, longtime CEO, discrimination lawsuits against the brand, and the brands history of racism and fat phobia. I personally found the legal aspects of the documentary to be fascinating. I appreciate the fact that the filmmakers made a point to speak to many of the former A&F employees who filed lawsuits against the company. If you’re into documentaries and pop culture, I highly recommend checking this out.
April 20th: Veronica Mars (2014): 4/5
Available to stream on: Digital rental
I’m certain I will write a blog post about this topic, but I have recently been binging Veronica Mars for the first time. I absolutely love the series and was super excited to watch the feature film. I personally wasn’t disappointed – the mystery was easy to follow, the performances were great, and Logan and Veronica getting back together? Perfection. If you haven’t seen the original 3 season of the series before watching the film, I doubt you would really love this. But if you have watched the original seasons I’m sure you will be satisfied with this film. (Side note: this is Kristen Bell’s best character. VM forever.)
Alright! We’re not caught up on what I’ve been logging on Letterboxd. I haven’t watched anything in a week, so I have some catch up of my own to do. Stay tuned for what I log next. Follow me on Letterboxd to see the logs first!
