Here's my theory, Kennie: Since this book/movie is from the man's POV, Drew is basically an unreliable narrator. Thus anything we see here is occurring because he says that's what is happening in the story. For all we know, Kate ended up with Billy and they got married and lived happily ever after while Drew ended up alone and heartbroken. However, as a rich, narcissist who's used to getting everything he wants, he'll never admit to what truly happened, thus this movie :-)
lmaoooooo, when Drew's scrolling Tinder for matches, one of the potential matches is Tosca, as in Tosca Musk (the CEO of Passionflix), it might even be her picture too! She just had to get that cameo in, acting like she's Stan Lee 🤣🤣
She does that in some of the movies you see her in beginning of Hollywood dirt. She was the picture they use for Isabelle in afterburn/aftershock. I think her and her mom did a cameo in driven series. She finds a way lol
“He looks kinda like a hamster with intelligence like a hamster with a lot to say” is by far the funniest thing I have heard today so thank you for that
The thing is, “I’m not gonna be a better person until I meet that person that’s going to make me wanna be better” is the mentality that a lot of individuals, men, women, and non-gender conforming individuals adopt.
I agree with you but you could have just said "people" or "everyone" that's inclusive on its own 😭 (I'm not saying this in a hateful way I am nonbinary myself)
I don't mind romance in books that in real life would be horrific, because I'm projecting my fantasy onto this fictional character so no one is getting hurt. But when that book is made into a movie the main characters is their own person and their emotions becomes three dimensional. So when they say "no" and that isn't respected you are sitting there helpless, watching someone else being abused.
@@preciousgugzikgomo7060 because these books tend to be popular. Adult readers are often fully aware that this is a fantasy and not indicative of real life wishes, but studios see the appeal and turn them into movies that will be showed to different audiences without recognising that maybe some stories don't need to be adapted. Sometimes the medium they are in is the whole point.
Reminiscent of the Lolita problem where adapting it into a movie directly contradicts the message from the book because it involves a real life girl being put in a bad situation (even if it is pretend).
I get the sentiment because seeing something can put it into perspective, but at the same time, but, you also have to keep that same perspective in mind that this is all fake and nobody is actually being abused and getting hurt.
This whole story line has strong "That random 7.5 stars office shoujo/ josei/ smut manga/manhwa with the whole pack of cliches (enemies to lovers,boss x employee, jealousy), misuderstandings and abusive moments that you find on the 5th page on a Mangago tag" energy.

As a Polish woman, we absolutely did not ask for 365 Days, just the same as Americans did not ask for Fifty Shades. Who thought any of those were a good idea?
In the 2nd book she gets pregnant and books appointment to a female doctor friend who gets mentioned by her surname which ofcourse drew thinks of it as her cheating with a guy behind his back and when he sees Kate with the husband of the doctor, he confirms that she's cheating. Then when Kate comes to appartment to tell about the pregnancy he has already hired a stripper, was a getting lap dance meanwhile getting super drunk and acted like a jerk. Ofcourse Kate didn't tell him about her pregnancy and goes to her home town to her mom's house.Kate also I think quits her job without any notice thinking his family will obviously side with drew. And after all the miscommunication again they end up together, admittedly both set of parents are pissed with their miscommunication regardless. Meanwhile when they're separated, Drew was glad he didn't technically cheat bcoz his dick didn't work since the stripper wasn't Kate. And Kate and Billy kissed each other while Billy was comforting her but she just realised she's strong enough to be a single mom. That's the shit show of 2nd book.
When I first saw the male lead, I had to squint really hard because in my head, I was thinking "where have I seen this man before..." And then it clicked. He's Icarly's new Boyfriend in the reboot show!

@B . O I just copy pasted her thread lol here ya go Then I remembered the gem that is THIS SHIT! The kaminomoto super hair serum! I tried it another time i fucked my edges up but ran out and just didnt repurchase UNTIL NOW! Deadass, I have 12 bottles. I am stocked.I wash my hair weekly-ish, use deep conditioner and mix the oil from before in it (Curls Oil and Jamaican Black Castor Oil). Once I get out I flat twist my hair using a butter and an oil. And finally, I use the kaminomoto on my edges only every morning and night~ As far as how I put my wigs on now, I changed to a spray instead of glue. This makes it so I can take my wigs off at night and can get to my own hair easily. I use the Ebin Sprays

She wonders grabbing her phone "Felix." He says, reading her mind with his mind powers coz he's a CEO vampire "Passion Felix," She calls the police. They take away her TV. Tale as old as time.

A professor at my own alma mater teaches a course on “trash lit” where the course materials consist of New York Times Best Sellers, bodice rippers, other kinds of erotica, “dime store” mysteries/thrillers/romance novels, and, of course- *fanfiction*. Yes. This English professor has the students who take this course read fanfiction, as required reading. It’s in the syllabus. You have no idea how much the little nerdy teenager inside me loves that, and how much I love the fact that this class even exists. Brilliant. Absolutely brilliant.
I think he accused her of trying to trap him, said some unforgivable nonsense and threw her out when she got pregnant in the 2nd book. I read this yeeeeears ago so not sure
not exactly. they had a huge misunderstanding where he thought she was cheating on him and told her to get rid of him(her lover), but she thought he was talking about the baby. she said she wouldn't, etc. they broke up then in the end got back together. it was a whole mess and so fucking stupid bc it could have been avoided if she just said she was talking about their baby and if he said he thought she was cheating
I would love to meet the Professor if possible. She sounds like an exceptional and intellectual human. Edit: This is an insult to enemies to lovers! Burn it!
This takes me back to when I would openly sit and read bodice rippers at... way too young of an age, in the Walmart book section. I'm amazed nobody said shit to me.
Theory (about the duality): we let things fly in text because our own minds are a safe space. The minute it goes into film and is represented by real people (i.e. not figments of imagination) its drawn into the context of the real world, and all the negative things that people who identify as female have to deal with. Then it gets icky and we wonder what's wrong with us.
As a black girl who grew up up in a 2 parent household with 5 brothers (seeing the inner workings of masculinity), and was obsessed with bodice rippers at like 10-16 before coming to several realizations, I would LOVE a video with the Professor.
WAIT!! I REMEMBER READING THIS BOOK AT LIKE 18-19!!! THEY MADE IT A MOVIE!!!!🥴🥴🥴🥴 LMFAO every Goodreads recommends erotic story I’ve read in 2013-2014 is being turned into a movie on passion flix I’m crying🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣they’re so bad!
I've been watching the Bad movie playlist and I noticed that these romance movies always always have the same trope: Woman exists and she isn't in love with the man or somehow in his ownership/control in general and this is somehow an issue to the man. And/or the man exists and the woman is just obsessed with him existing to the point she NEEDS him in/on her NOW or else. And we always have some kind of "ex love" thing where some other woman dumped him or broke his heart somehow to act like it adds sympathy. Twilight, After, My Teacher Obsession, Fifty Shades, Hot Gimmick, etc. all did it. Like at this point, I'm convinced some group out there has an unironic fetish for bad, toxic romances and they keep this genre of bad movies alive.
I have stage 4 Endometriosis, and had to get a hysterectomy when I was 25. I don't miss bleeding, but I still have all the damn pain😶 surgery #11 is coming up soon tho
@@adelagrnja7876 I've been disabled from it& Cyclic vomiting syndrome since 2015. I have pain every day, I haven't had sex in over a year because orgasms=atleast a day of not being able to walk from the pain. It's made several of my organs fail, and has basically effected every aspect of my life. Endometriosis isn't deadly because of the Endo itself, but suicide is pretty common because it's a really hard thing to deal with. But yeah, it's a lot more than just bad cramps and painful sex, and it effects so many people, it's kinda crazy tbh.
Oh you know that man doesn't believe in lesbians. He's the sort of man who would specifically target lesbian because believes his d is magical and would turn her straight
Forgiveness doesn't necessarily mean rekindle a romantic relationship. You can and should forgive even without apology. Her choosing to get back with him was a separate decision from forgiveness.
one musk wants to buy twitter to bring the orange man back and the other musk created this trash of a film studio that somehow gets people talking. the musky scent never fails
Lol, I realized I read this series too from your video. In the 2nd book, she wants to secretly find out if she's pregnant and lies about where she's going which leds him to follow her to her friend whose an OBGYN. Drew sees her hug her friends husband in the parking lot to her impromptu appointment which 'confirms' to him that she is cheating. He goes get a stripper for a lap dance at their home which she walks in on, which upsets her and makes her move back home to her parents I think. Then the rest if the film is him trying to get her back after finding out that she wasn't cheating, that she's pregnant, and promising that he'll be less reactive lol.
This is why I love YOU so much as a series - it takes all those things we view as romantic and takes them to an extreme and flips them on their head. (Tho season 1 is definitely the best).

As a queer young woman who hasn’t read romance in years…I’m 17 and I learned that romance was hilarious and alarming at a very young age from gifts like Wattpad and webtoons that weren’t on webtoon if yknow what I mean I’d love to see the professor talk about romance tropes and bodice rippers BRING HER TO US KENNY NEOW
Fun fact, right when Kennie is describing how the fiance and girl were in bands while younger, an ad comes on that's one of those full song ads that is a love song about wishing his ex would come back to him. Weirdly topical for this video. Pretty decent song actually. I'd listen to it again
As an avid romcom reader/bookseller: If y’all are looking for fun romance books that are duo m/f povs I’d recommend: • Anything by Talia Hibbert (POC and body positive mc’s) • Anything Helen Hoang (Also POC mains) • Tessa Bailey (If you want some ANGST and STEAM WITHCHO ROMANCE OMG) • And Beth O’Leary (her stuff leans more on the contemporary spectrum but still very sweet with wry British humour) Happy Reading Romcom lovies! 😊✨
If you want content, watch Lifetime's Mother May I Sleep With Danger reboot. Just when I thought that Lifetime couldn't get any worse, they decided to dip their toes into the supernatural genre.
Again, two years later watching this, but the concept of that book sounds like those Fifty Shades books from Christian's point of view where you just hear all his horrifying thoughts like a serial killer. But it's sexy because he's rich and handsome. Or something.
the dolores/clitoris bit is lifted entirely from a part in seinfeld where he spends most of the episode trying to remember the name of a woman he knows, who mentioned that as a kid she was mocked for her name because it rhymes with a part on a woman's body. only in the show they never SAY the body part, they just have him scream "DOLORES" out the window when he finally remembers.
As a fellow lover of romance novels, I must say, the best ones I've read are told from a man's perspective, most of the time. Usually the author switches between the two main characters' perspectives, however, it is mostly the man's perspective. It makes for realistic characters who aren't just archetypes but fully realized people with vulnerabilities. Also, it's fun to see how the author sexualizes both parties from each perspective. Personally, I would recommend anything by Sherilyn Kenyon or Gena Showalter. They're amazing:)
Manifesting the collab with the professor, she sounds very cool ✌️ Edit: the fourth wall breaks 💀 Fleabag walked so this movie could stumble down the stairs
You always say that stuff like that is only considered romantic cause it's in a movie, but people irl also romanticize creepy behavior. Last year a male co-worker found my home address from HR documents and sent me an expensive cheeses and wine basket. Everybody thought it was a cute gesture and that I should appreciate it and thank him! Wtf!? I'm a single woman living alone in a metropolis and should be happy a crazy older man has my address without me giving it to him? Anyway, people don't think about the other ways this could've played out, especially men.
One of my favorite movies is Saved! starring Mandy Moore from 2004. It is a satire of religious movies. There's a lot of problematic language and attitudes, but I think it would make a good Bad Movies and A Beat episode
When I read romance, I tend to lean toward dual POV ones. It feels a lot more balanced and adds more layers to the romance for me but a lot of those tropes are pretty harmful if they’re taken literally

I want to read about two people who love and care for and respect each other and for some reason that is more prevalent in gay/lesbian/trans media.
When I heard the “I don’t like to ride the same roller coaster twice” line, I legit died laughing. Because this dude is basically Wil Wheaton’s character from the Guild but, like, played straight? I just… I have no words.
Dang! I was hoping this would be a passionflix sequel to the disney Tangled
You made me spit out my water.
that could have been hot... magical bondage maybe?

Yes, natural hair Kennie! The edges are thriving 😍
Her hair is so cute 🥰
Me waiting for her to make a video on how she got her edges back 🧍
@@keychains5806 she made a Twitter thread on how she got her edges back
@@TinV thank you
@B . O
I just copy pasted her thread lol here ya go
Then I remembered the gem that is THIS SHIT! The kaminomoto super hair serum! I tried it another time i fucked my edges up but ran out and just didnt repurchase UNTIL NOW! Deadass, I have 12 bottles. I am stocked.I wash my hair weekly-ish, use deep conditioner and mix the oil from before in it (Curls Oil and Jamaican Black Castor Oil). Once I get out I flat twist my hair using a butter and an oil. And finally, I use the kaminomoto on my edges only every morning and night~
As far as how I put my wigs on now, I changed to a spray instead of glue. This makes it so I can take my wigs off at night and can get to my own hair easily. I use the Ebin Sprays
"I love you, man who has done nothing but ignore my boundaries for the entire time that we've known one another except for the five minutes after my fiance broke up with me in which I gave you the time of day. If you ever hurt me, I'll probably die."
It was a cold morning, Kennie was feeling loungey and relaxed as she prepared her hello fresh meal kit, the soft lull of the 365 Days : This day movie post credits hummed across the room as she sighed over her lemon chicken dish.
A low rumble of thunder rang in the distance, as the rains grew louder, the Tv flickered switching to passionflix.
"That's weird." She thought ignoring her instincts to get the hell out of there.
The thunder rang louder the storm was closer now, the screen glitched, switching between atrocious film covers in garish hues of reds, greys and blacks before thunder rang again it was loud, it was right over her house this time
lightning flashed lighting up the room, the tv screen goes black, it's quiet.
It's dark.
The lights are out.
The tv flickers on. Nothing else does.
On it a man of generic nature with grey orbs stares back at her. He's in a suit taping on the tv glass
"Who is he?" She wonders grabbing her phone
"Felix." He says, reading her mind with his mind powers coz he's a CEO vampire "Passion Felix,"
She calls the police. They take away her TV.
Tale as old as time.
Gold!! This is Gold!! XD
Screaming at Passion Felix omfg
OMG! Couple goals! OTP! But in honestly great story!
As a Polish person, when you said "Damn you, Poland!" I felt that
Someone really needs to write a whole fanfic about passion flix and Kennie. I would pay money to read that. 😭✋
I would pay money for Kennie to read it in a video.
Yes to both of these ideas!
😂😂😂

30:39 why did I think he was pregnant...now an mpreg twist would have livened things up a little ngl
"Personification of a yeast infection" - I am so glad I waited until after that to take a sip of my drink...
I feel like Hello Fresh is a perfect sponsor for Kennie because she makes a lot of content on becoming/being an adult. As a person who recently started cooking all my meals I'm always curious to hear her food opinions. They should sponsor every time 😊
I've tried hellofresh and it was nice to cook something else than rice and pasta, but the delivery timing is very bad so idk how you would get it if not at home all day!
A professor at my own alma mater teaches a course on “trash lit” where the course materials consist of New York Times Best Sellers, bodice rippers, other kinds of erotica, “dime store” mysteries/thrillers/romance novels, and, of course- *fanfiction*.
Yes. This English professor has the students who take this course read fanfiction, as required reading. It’s in the syllabus.
You have no idea how much the little nerdy teenager inside me loves that, and how much I love the fact that this class even exists. Brilliant. Absolutely brilliant.
lemme switch major once again because Wow!
Is the purpose to learn why its trash or something?
Where is this place?
I think he accused her of trying to trap him, said some unforgivable nonsense and threw her out when she got pregnant in the 2nd book. I read this yeeeeears ago so not sure
not exactly. they had a huge misunderstanding where he thought she was cheating on him and told her to get rid of him(her lover), but she thought he was talking about the baby. she said she wouldn't, etc. they broke up then in the end got back together. it was a whole mess and so fucking stupid bc it could have been avoided if she just said she was talking about their baby and if he said he thought she was cheating
The comment above me. And I don't even think he knew she was pregnant.
Yeah this sounds about right I think I read this series too
This sounds so horrible but it's a romance novel so I see it very possible
Did you also read 50 shades? Bc that sounds exactly like what happened in the 2nd book of that series lol
I would love to meet the Professor if possible. She sounds like an exceptional and intellectual human.
Edit: This is an insult to enemies to lovers! Burn it!
This takes me back to when I would openly sit and read bodice rippers at... way too young of an age, in the Walmart book section. I'm amazed nobody said shit to me.
I did it once in my middle school class once
Theory (about the duality): we let things fly in text because our own minds are a safe space. The minute it goes into film and is represented by real people (i.e. not figments of imagination) its drawn into the context of the real world, and all the negative things that people who identify as female have to deal with. Then it gets icky and we wonder what's wrong with us.
24:31 “like a hamster with intelligence” stop because Kennie’s got a point😂😭😭
Maybe Kennie and Passionflix is the enemies to lovers story we’ve been waiting for
“The b*tch with the bundles that lives in the tower” that hit me as a bitch with bundles that lives in an apartment building
As a black girl who grew up up in a 2 parent household with 5 brothers (seeing the inner workings of masculinity), and was obsessed with bodice rippers at like 10-16 before coming to several realizations, I would LOVE a video with the Professor.
Stab in the dark... was the realization bisexuality, bc if so same 🫣
"Dropping eggs" is one of the best ways to describe periods, I love it!
WAIT!! I REMEMBER READING THIS BOOK AT LIKE 18-19!!! THEY MADE IT A MOVIE!!!!🥴🥴🥴🥴 LMFAO every Goodreads recommends erotic story I’ve read in 2013-2014 is being turned into a movie on passion flix I’m crying🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣they’re so bad!
THERE WAS A BOOK?!
@@sk8rmouse404 lmfao yup tangled is a book by Emma chase
I used to love this book but looking back..
@@lillcutie6189 right! I didn’t know better! Looking back now? wow the cringe!
Hello Fresh be consistently giving Kennie a bag. So if you skipped the sponsor, now you know. Throw some money their way, for Mama Biscuit.
honestly, i feel like this movie, while creepy and toxic, is definitely not boring. so ill give it props for that.
I've been watching the Bad movie playlist and I noticed that these romance movies always always have the same trope: Woman exists and she isn't in love with the man or somehow in his ownership/control in general and this is somehow an issue to the man. And/or the man exists and the woman is just obsessed with him existing to the point she NEEDS him in/on her NOW or else. And we always have some kind of "ex love" thing where some other woman dumped him or broke his heart somehow to act like it adds sympathy. Twilight, After, My Teacher Obsession, Fifty Shades, Hot Gimmick, etc. all did it.
Like at this point, I'm convinced some group out there has an unironic fetish for bad, toxic romances and they keep this genre of bad movies alive.
I have stage 4 Endometriosis, and had to get a hysterectomy when I was 25. I don't miss bleeding, but I still have all the damn pain😶 surgery #11 is coming up soon tho
Good luck with it! I hope you'll finally get some relief from the pain❤
Good luck with the surgery!
I didn't know endometriosis was that serious. I thought it was just really annoying back / sex pain. Hope you get better soon.
Dang, I just had a hysterectomy two weeks ago. There could be MORE surgeries??!🤯
@@adelagrnja7876 I've been disabled from it& Cyclic vomiting syndrome since 2015. I have pain every day, I haven't had sex in over a year because orgasms=atleast a day of not being able to walk from the pain. It's made several of my organs fail, and has basically effected every aspect of my life. Endometriosis isn't deadly because of the Endo itself, but suicide is pretty common because it's a really hard thing to deal with. But yeah, it's a lot more than just bad cramps and painful sex, and it effects so many people, it's kinda crazy tbh.
he's only met ONE woman who didn't want to sleep with him? has he never met a lesbian 😭 p.s. shoutout to my fellow sapphics
Or sex neutral/repulsed aspecs 💀
Or just a man attracted woman who doesn’t find his whole shtik attractive. Like personally (bi) I would noooooooot…
Oh you know that man doesn't believe in lesbians. He's the sort of man who would specifically target lesbian because believes his d is magical and would turn her straight
Please bring that professor on! I'm dying to hear your academic discussion of the romance genre!
The fourth wall breaks, and the way he delivers them, dropped the phrase "Ferris MeTooLer" into my brain so now you all get to think that too
Thanks! I hate it! 🌟
Take it back 😭 remove this from my head
Girl, I had super horrible periods. Terrible pain and depression the while bit. Birth control really helped me.
I’ve never wanted to see the rest of a T-shirt this bad😭😭😭

NOT PETER PAN LOOKING BOYS PLS 💀💀💀💀💀💀
Forgiveness doesn't necessarily mean rekindle a romantic relationship. You can and should forgive even without apology. Her choosing to get back with him was a separate decision from forgiveness.
The inevitable conclusion of BM&AB is that Kennie will write a romance novel and it will be adapted by passonflix
one musk wants to buy twitter to bring the orange man back and the other musk created this trash of a film studio that somehow gets people talking. the musky scent never fails
what in the omegaverse
@@malena6539What in the omegaverse indeed
Who else loves when Kennie posts?
😄
MEEEEEEE 😊
Lol, I realized I read this series too from your video. In the 2nd book, she wants to secretly find out if she's pregnant and lies about where she's going which leds him to follow her to her friend whose an OBGYN. Drew sees her hug her friends husband in the parking lot to her impromptu appointment which 'confirms' to him that she is cheating. He goes get a stripper for a lap dance at their home which she walks in on, which upsets her and makes her move back home to her parents I think. Then the rest if the film is him trying to get her back after finding out that she wasn't cheating, that she's pregnant, and promising that he'll be less reactive lol.
Ew that sounds awful 😃✋
The Elon Musk connection was not expected but it seems to be my multiverse into madness.
Yeah same , wonder what Elon thinks
@Agent Bubble you bodied him 💀
@Agent Bubble laughed way too hard at this
This is why I love YOU so much as a series - it takes all those things we view as romantic and takes them to an extreme and flips them on their head. (Tho season 1 is definitely the best).
Yeah YOU isn't perfect but it did get a point across
The scene of him talking to the camera is like the comedy nerd movies of the late 2000s 😂😂😂
Exactly, it was giving early 2010s Nickelodeon/ Disney movies. Won't be shocked if he winked directly at the camera
I don't think I've seen enough of them 'cause when he broke the fourth wall in this one it made me go "nope" I would rather have a voice over :')
39:40 "Just wipe your p**sy clean. Get tested and there's no proof that anybody's been in there."
I'M DEAD. 🤣🤣🤣🤣
But seriously, this is great advice. 👍🏽
As a queer young woman who hasn’t read romance in years…I’m 17 and I learned that romance was hilarious and alarming at a very young age from gifts like Wattpad and webtoons that weren’t on webtoon if yknow what I mean I’d love to see the professor talk about romance tropes and bodice rippers BRING HER TO US KENNY NEOW
Every time Kendall says “insufferable” and “off putting” take a shot!
Some romance novel fans have said that they're written by men under female pin names. 🤷🏼♀️ I haven't researched it yet.
Okay, but anyone else waiting for that passionflix Wicked sequel? I wanna hear Kennie roast some more bad wigs and bad CGI 🤣
The fairy character is my favorite
They are done with filming and will be out in October
Fun fact, right when Kennie is describing how the fiance and girl were in bands while younger, an ad comes on that's one of those full song ads that is a love song about wishing his ex would come back to him. Weirdly topical for this video. Pretty decent song actually. I'd listen to it again
As an avid romcom reader/bookseller: If y’all are looking for fun romance books that are duo m/f povs I’d recommend:
• Anything by Talia Hibbert (POC and body positive mc’s)
• Anything Helen Hoang (Also POC mains)
• Tessa Bailey (If you want some ANGST and STEAM WITHCHO ROMANCE OMG)
• And Beth O’Leary (her stuff leans more on the contemporary spectrum but still very sweet with wry British humour)
Happy Reading Romcom lovies! 😊✨
I’d add Evie Mitchel for body positive and disability rep, and then Amy Dawes!
thank you so much! hope you have a nice day bestie!
If you want content, watch Lifetime's Mother May I Sleep With Danger reboot. Just when I thought that Lifetime couldn't get any worse, they decided to dip their toes into the supernatural genre.
That was a interesting movie .
I liked it
“He looks like a hamster with intelligence. A hamster with a lot to say.”
Just fucking took me out 😂
Again, two years later watching this, but the concept of that book sounds like those Fifty Shades books from Christian's point of view where you just hear all his horrifying thoughts like a serial killer. But it's sexy because he's rich and handsome. Or something.
Bringing me back to when my sister and I would do dramatic readings from one of our mom’s Harlequin books.
The wigs always look great but your natural curls are so pretty 👌🏽
This movie is like somebody was watching too many Addison Rae and Stable Guy tiktoks and decided to film their fanfic
the dolores/clitoris bit is lifted entirely from a part in seinfeld where he spends most of the episode trying to remember the name of a woman he knows, who mentioned that as a kid she was mocked for her name because it rhymes with a part on a woman's body. only in the show they never SAY the body part, they just have him scream "DOLORES" out the window when he finally remembers.
I am loving the natural hair 😍😍. You always look good obviously but I just had to show the natural hair love
As a fellow lover of romance novels, I must say, the best ones I've read are told from a man's perspective, most of the time. Usually the author switches between the two main characters' perspectives, however, it is mostly the man's perspective. It makes for realistic characters who aren't just archetypes but fully realized people with vulnerabilities. Also, it's fun to see how the author sexualizes both parties from each perspective. Personally, I would recommend anything by Sherilyn Kenyon or Gena Showalter. They're amazing:)
Manifesting the collab with the professor, she sounds very cool ✌️
Edit: the fourth wall breaks 💀 Fleabag walked so this movie could stumble down the stairs
This was so funny of you 😭
so basically this is American Psycho but sold as a romance instead of the horror it actually is...
Drew looks like he should be the lead in an insurance commercial
You always say that stuff like that is only considered romantic cause it's in a movie, but people irl also romanticize creepy behavior.
Last year a male co-worker found my home address from HR documents and sent me an expensive cheeses and wine basket. Everybody thought it was a cute gesture and that I should appreciate it and thank him! Wtf!? I'm a single woman living alone in a metropolis and should be happy a crazy older man has my address without me giving it to him? Anyway, people don't think about the other ways this could've played out, especially men.
There’s so many things to say about this movie, but I can’t get over the fact that the actress who plays Kate looks shockingly similar to Addison Rae.
Dropping eggs, man I adore her in this natural hair not saying the laces aren't dope but this makes her look younger, I snorted at Alpha
One of my favorite movies is Saved! starring Mandy Moore from 2004. It is a satire of religious movies. There's a lot of problematic language and attitudes, but I think it would make a good Bad Movies and A Beat episode
kennie wearing a fundie fridays shirt??? crossover i never knew i needed
I... Love BMB but damn this makeup look is both cute and something I could wear every day can we get a tutorial when you're feeling better?🥺
i swear to u halfway thru this video i was like "...and this is a pureflix number???" incorrect, two VERY different studios fthjsdkhfdk
When I read romance, I tend to lean toward dual POV ones. It feels a lot more balanced and adds more layers to the romance for me but a lot of those tropes are pretty harmful if they’re taken literally
Stumbled onto your channel by happy accident and realized you'd done videos on passionflix "movies" and hoped I'd find Tangled, and lo and behold, this is it. Thank you for brightening a rainy northern Sweden day.
The hair! The glasses! The natural beat! Love the look👑 (Also, another hilarious review👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽😂)
I keep on wanting to read this as mind of a serial killer, and it's really not that far off with this main character
As a romance novel afficionado, I feel compelled to say: NOT ALL ROMANCE NOVELS!!!! Carry on.
This movie just feels like “the horrifying reality of being a woman in the workplace: the movie” but it’s framed as romantic/sexy for some reason
Strippers versus Werewolves you can still make this happen 🤣🤣🤣 it's on Tubi which is like yo side piece to passionflix
Every time Drew pops up on screen I mistake him for a slightly more socially awkward-looking Dexter.
YES that’s what it is!!
Speaking about movies that feel like a horror movie, Project X is literally my nightmare.
I would love to see if you ever get that professor on the channel, that sounds so interesting
