First four of 2026. Had more FUN with the 2-star than the 2.5-star.

Britny: “You could argue—and I will—“

Forgot to share the November Substack on here, but here’s December’s: britnygottalent.substack.com/p/the-beauty... 2025 wrap coming soon.

thinking about them 🎆

The Little Darlin’ just played a Waylon Jennings cover of a Fleetwood Mac song and then immediately played another Waylon song. Love to be catered to.

any director would be lucky to make one great romance in their filmography that endures. reiner gave us two ❤️‍🩹

Tim: “Is The Dare just the modern 3OH!3?”

HOOK ‘EM HORNS, BABYYYYY 🤘🏻😭

Thankful on this day to have no Turkey Trot Family associations, biological or legal 🙏🏻🙅🏻‍♀️

October is about rewatches and that’s fine!! britnygottalent.substack.com/p/heres-how-...

Tim: “It SLAPS. It’s a slapper. A slap bang. A slap bang bopper.”

Me, at ACL, when the sun is beating down: Why do I do this every year? This is horrible. Me, at ACL, the second the sun starts to set: Wow, this is one of my favorite places in the world??

Initial TLOAS thought is this one’s for the “Lover” girls, with a splash of “Rep.” (complimentary)

October

Watched 3 Al Pacino movies in September and little else britnygottalent.substack.com/p/that-al-pa...

Robert Eugene Brashers has been identified as the man who killed 13-year-old Amy Ayers, 15-year-old Sarah Harbison, 17-year-old Eliza Thomas and 17-year-old Jennifer Harbison at a North Austin yogurt shop in December 1991.

SOLVED: Law enforcement sources confirmed to KVUE that investigators believe the 1991 Yogurt Shop Murders have been solved using genetic genealogy technology. https://www.kvue.com/article/news/crime/austin-yogurt-shop-murders-solved/269-10f97ed7-adc2-4514-84e5-341f18bfc8d4 

BREAKING: More than three decades after four teen girls were found dead inside a burned-down yogurt shop in North Austin, investigators say they finally know who killed them.

all the president's men set the bar for the idea of hardworking handsome men on the right side of history who meant business when they rolled up their sleeves.

Delightful!!

Imagine what it was like for me to watch this episode on Tuesday, having watched The Godfather for the first time on Sunday.

Felt like I watched basically every genre in August: britnygottalent.substack.com/p/did-henry-...

Hard to overstate this film’s impact on my entire personality.

Ginny: “I would never be sad to be left in a Chili’s.”

Watched a bunch of movies in July and wrote a bunch of words about them: britnygottalent.substack.com/p/im-a-punk-...

The scene where Hannah and Jacob stay up all night talking? Peak romance for me, a yapper.

Today, the alt girl behind the counter at the antique mall saw my purchases and said “very cool stuff — you've got cool taste,” and it was worth every penny spent.

And I was forever changed.

Two more traditional “Good Films™️” gave them competition, but one of the best movies I watched in June starred animated ninja turtles. britnygottalent.substack.com/p/cowabunga-...

Truly, full-stop, without question, one of the best horror and sci-fi movies ever made.

This did, in fact, happen: www.kvue.com/article/news...

Senate Bill 3 looked to ban the sale of consumable products containing THC.

Hate that the state of things means talented people have to come out of retirement…but save us, Ron LOL.

"Any forever family is fine as long as it has a dog and video games," Andrew said, later adding, "Honestly, I just hope I get adopted." 💛

Feeling victimized because I’m watching The X Files 5x19 “Folie à Deux,” and I forgot it’s the episode where Mulder tells Scully, “You have to believe me. Nobody else on this whole damn planet does or ever will. You’re my one in five billion.” 🥀

Nearly all of the media I consumed in May consisted of one of three very different things: Colman Domingo, Tom Cruise or people getting gorily murdered by masked maniacs. britnygottalent.substack.com/p/in-colman-...

Lightning struck a tower during a KVUE newscast on Monday night in Austin.

Bryan, before singing “Courtesy of the Red, White & Blue”: “I figured that since this is a night we’ll always remember, we should go back to a time we’ll never forget.”

Everyone talks about how great weddings are because all of your people are in the same place — and I’m sure I’ll find that to be true! But they don’t talk about how that’s also weird. Like, folks, my parents are divorced! Some of these people haven’t been in the same room in over a decade!

For me, April’s biggest wins were a dead-eyed James McAvoy and a red-eyed Hailee Steinfeld 🥁 britnygottalent.substack.com/p/thank-god-...

How we doing

Oh, I am SAT.

Picking Red over Fearless marks a notable shift toward my being old enough to be nostalgic for my early 20s instead of high school. The other two were no-brainers.

Tim: “Raccoons have rabies.” Glo: “Yeah, but not by choice!”

Due to my dad’s constant Tombstone quoting and frequent rewatches, it’s possible I’ve never known a day without thinking of Kilmer’s Doc Holliday. This one stings.

For March, I wrote about why 2.5 stars may be mathematically in the middle of a 5-star film rating scale, but it isn’t *in my heart.* britnygottalent.substack.com/p/life-was-g...

It’s no joke: KVUE Daybreak is getting the band back together 🎉 Bryan and Yvonne are a dream team, and we’re so excited to have them back together at the desk and in the field!

OH in the newsroom: “I love when cute things are mean.”

I don’t know a more religious experience than hearing “Like a Prayer” with your best friends on the Barbarella dance floor.
