As the end of the year draws near, I figured it would be fun to join in all the other magazines and websites posting what they thought was the best of the year.
I present to you, the best of 2019. May 2020 be just as good or even better.
TELEVISION
Stranger Things Season 3
Come on. Did you really think I wasn’t going to pick this? I’ve written numerous times about my love for Stranger Things and season three was more than my Mileven shipper heart could take.
MOVIES
Hot Girls Wanted
This move is not for the faint of heart. It’s about women who go into porn and the people producing porn. It’s really hard to watch sometimes and there’s not all sunshine and rainbows at the end. But it says a lot about our society and porn and feminism and misogyny and tons more important topics that should be talked about more.
