'South Mountain' (2019) by Hilary Brougher

Vibe: "South Mountain" is sweaty summer incarnate. Everything is hot, sticky, and slightly disheveled. No one is thinking straight or making great choices. Cigarettes are secretly smoked on kitchen stairs, berries are picked, tea is sipped. For a few weeks, you get to spend time with a family

Interview with Claire Edmondson on 'EXIT' (2018)

Claire Edmondson is going to be a big deal. A few years from now, people will find this post on my blog and be like, "Holy shit, how did Lindsay get to interview her?" This thought is based on a gut feeling, observable talent, and the fact that

'The Baby-Sitters Club' (1995) by Melanie Mayron

Vibe: "The Baby-Sitters Club" brings me back to summers spent running around like a maniac outside, reading chapter books on my parents' porch swing, and thinking about boys for a brief second before remembering that they're disgusting. I first saw this movie at my neighbor

Interview with Stella Meghie on 'The Weekend' (2018)

Sasheer Zamata and Y'lan Noel together in a movie directed by Stella Meghie? Sign me up! Since I was already back home in Ann Arbor during the Tribeca premiere, I watched a screener in bed with two of my cats and a bag of Haribo Berries (the best

Interview with Jenna Ricker & Caroline Waterlow on 'Qualified' (2019)

Motorsports isn't typically my jam but if Janet Guthrie were still on the scene, I'd become a quick enthusiast. Like Diana Kennedy, Guthrie was ahead of her time. She pursued her passion with tenacity, ignored the naysayers, and broke down barriers in a ridiculously male-dominated sport.
