Month: March 2026

Good evening fellow readers! I hope everyone has enjoyed March, it’s hard to get into the spring spirit what with the weather flipping and flopping from freezing to hot, but this shall pass, right? We will all be able to enjoy a beautiful spring and summer here soon. BUT I’m not here to talk about the weather, I’m here to talk about Undertone, many people raved about it being the #1 horror movie for 2026, so let’s brew about it!

I had wanted to watch the movie when it first came out February 13th, because I mean what better way to spend a Friday the 13th then, to go see a scary movie!!! However, life got in the way and I had to wait until now. I’ve been super excited since I seen the trailers, I mean I always wanted to do a true crime or paranormal podcast myself, so I was vicariously living through these trailers UNTIL I saw the movie.

Now, it definitely had me jumping, it follows the main character, Evy, who’s living with her mother, who is in hospice care, she’s on her way out so, what does a grown child do? Take care of their dying parent which is a hard task to undertake emotionally, but a meaningful one, I know I would want to do that for my own parents. Either way, Evy is a co-podcaster with her partner in crime Justin and their next podcast is about 10 mp4 files they received from an unknown sender. AS the movie progress, things start to occur at Evy’s mom’s house that go from strange to scary as her and Justin delve deeper and deeper into the files.

This is where MY disappoint occurs, they DON’T do their research, they find out the names of the people on the recordings, they email the sender which comes back as a “return to sender” in other words its an email that they can’t get a response from, but why not trace the IP address? If, strange and spooky things are happening why not put a pause on the production of this particular podcast? Put it on the shelf, until you no more? The recordings of the woman on the file, Jessa, she’s saying things backwards, why not research it more cautiously instead of driving 100 miles an hour without looking where you are going?

But I digress, I believe that’s what the direction was meant to be for the movie, and wraps it up quickly without knowing what happens to Justin and no one sees what happens To Evy and her mother, because it’s off screen. It left me me wound up but nowhere to go from there. I KNOW 99.9% of horror movies don’t end well, but I think they could have taken it into a different direction. Maybe, it’s because I want to do a podcast that’s why I’m so salty?

I feel like the ending was very lackluster to be honest, sped up and wrapped because they didn’t know where to go from there. But what do you think? Have you seen Undertone? Did it give you a pause on the idea or do you think they could have delved deeper before everything spun out of control?

Good evening readers, I hope all is well! Can’t believe that next month it will be Easter. I had intended to write about the goodies I got from Birdmoss but I wanted to wait until both the welcome kit and the March box were both in my possession. So, I wanted to talk about a movie that I watched this week, and I fell in love with it, let’s brew about it!

The Beatles are timeless, their music transcending through time creating love and prosperity. I always enjoyed their music. I recently, watched Yesterday, which I get it, it is not a recent film, but I don’t know how I missed this. So, the story is about a struggling musician Jack Malik and his best friend Lily James whom also, happens to be his band manager. Jack is on the edge of quitting until, he’s hit by a bus.

For 12 seconds across the earth all the lights go out as Jack is suspended in air and by the time he lands everything comes back on. When Jack awakes he finds out The Beatles, don’t exist. How, do they NOT exist? Was it in those 12 seconds their whole career/ era disappeared? Did they cease to exist? My head was spinning, maybe not as much as Jack’s as he’s completely dumbfounded NO ONE knows what he’s talking about and think that he’s lost it.

So, where does our hero go from here? He plays The Beatles at his gigs and becomes a smash hit, is what he does and The Beatles phenomenon rises again via Jack, whom, is caught up in the storm he has created. While everyone that meets him say he’s a musical genius he’s struggling with the knowledge that HE didn’t create the songs and while his world is turned upside down and torn from his friends, Jack has to find and make his peace with this knowledge.

I don’t want to talk about the end because I want YOU to see it. It’s a fantastic movie filled with laughter, pain and hard decisions. Oh, and it’s not just The Beatles that have been wiped from existence, and it’s hilarious to watch Jack search the internet when something doesn’t exist. But what do you think? I’d love to see what your thoughts are.

Keep On Brewin!

Good evening readers, I hope your week treated you well. I had planned on writing about Undertone but I had to pivot due to unforeseen circumstances. I feel like Undertone is going to be just the tip of the iceberg in the horror movie genre, the reviews are insane. However, over the weekend I ended up playing Dungeons and Dragons aka D & D, let’s brew about it.

I never played D & D before but have always been fascinated by it. OBVIOUSLY I love stories, especially fantasy and adventure, but I’ve always been daunted by the LENGTH of the game play. I know that a game can last for months if not years. So, you can see my reluctance especially since trying to match schedules with others.

BUT the Stranger Things campaign is just the starter to open up a new world. The game doesn’t take long in fact it CAN be done in night if you have a whole afternoon available. The whole design is just amazingggg, so much detail, even for the character sheets have so much going on. I have to say my favorite part is that Eddie is a part of the design.

But have you ever played D& D before? Would you want to play/ If you havent I feel that the Stranger Things D & D would be a gateway to the thrilling world of D & D.

Good evening readers! I hope you enjoyed the month of February as I did. Horror movies, a cruise, etc, it was really jammed packed. But what about March? Let’s brew about it!

Kicking off the month of March is the Strawberry Festival! It is the last weekend so, if you’re coming to Plant City, Florida, make sure you join in on the festivities. I covered the festival last year and had wanted to bring it back in support of the community. Coming up on 2 years of living here, I really enjoy the tight-knit community and the events that are hosted here.

One of the biggest events and there are many at the Strawberry Festival, is the parade. Last year I focused on the rides and exhibits, but this year it was about the local community gathering together and celebrating. The parade is rather large in fact parts of the roads in Plant City get shut down just so it can happen. Local businesses, pageant queens, bands from the local schools, and one of my favorite organizations, The Rough Riders!

The parade was jam packed with music beads and candy were tossed, even books were handed out for kiddos, which I never seen before. Afterwards, it was time for some grub and grabbed a delicious Philly and fries before delighting in a funnel cake while carousing around the local wares.

The Strawberry Festival, is still ongoing until March 8th. So, if you haven’t gone before come check out the quaint but lively Plant City Strawberry Festival. You won’t regret a moment!

As Always Keep In Brewin!
