Today is Día de los Muertos, it's a two-day Mexican (Mexican American) holiday where people celebrate and honor their family and friends who have died. It's a way to remember them and celebrate all that they were. What I found so interesting about this holiday is that they set up an altar (which includes some of the deceased favorite foods and items) so that the cherished and honored spirits can find their way back to their family and friends. That's so sweet and wonderful.
Below is a small geeky holiday list of episodes and movies that celebrates or features Día de los Muertos. So with that said, I want to wish all who are celebrating, a very Happy Día de los Muertos! May your days of celebrating be filled with love, happiness, good food and loving memories.
Today marks the first official day of summer, I'm really surprised the Summer Solstice is on the 20th instead of the 21st. I'm so excited for the possibility to do some amazing and wonderful and different things this summer. At the moment I have no plans or ideas of what I want to do but I will. Do you have any plans for the summer?
It's been a while since I posted a Geeky TV and Movie List so I'm starting with a summer themed list. This is just a short list but throughout the summer I'm going to post more lists. Until then, if you're looking for more summer episodes, you can check out my past Gilmore Girls Geeky Summer list. It has a lot of the summery episodes from the show.
Today is a day of giving thanks and reflecting on our lives. It's a day to look at the world and see how you can help make it a better place. It's also a day of family, food and relaxation. However you plan to celebrate the day, I want to wish everyone a very Happy Thanksgiving! And for anyone who doesn't celebrate the holiday, I also wish you a very Happy Thursday!
If you're looking for something holiday inspired to watch, I included a fun Geeky Thanksgiving List below. For more Geeky Lists, here are my previous three Thanksgiving lists: (1, 2 and 3).
Warner Bros. Discovery may have shelved the SCOOB sequel SCOOB!: Holiday Haunt but as a Scooby-Doo fan there is still something new to look forward to seeing. There's a new Halloween movie, Trick or Treat Scooby-Doo! that will be out Digital on Tuesday, October 4th and on DVD Tuesday, October 18th. The animation style reminds me of the most recent Scooby-Doo animated series Scooby-Doo and Guess Who?
I don't believe this is a sequel to the 2020 Scooby-Doo Halloween movie Happy Halloween, Scooby-Doo! or a continuation from Scooby-Doo and Guess Who?, I think it's just another stand alone film. Regardless, I can't wait to see this.
Trick or Treat Scooby-Doo!
Starring: Frank Welker, Grey DeLisle, Matthew Lillard, Kate Micucci and more

- Netflix cancels the TV series First Kill after one season. I believe one of the reasons why Netflix keeps losing subscribers is due to the company constantly cancelling TV series. Viewers are not going to continue investing their time into series if the company can't be bothered to do the same. And they barely promoted this show before it premiered.
I don't like how now of days, networks and streaming services do the bare minimum when it comes to promoting shows and then expect fans and viewers to watch something they didn't know existed. Or networks and streaming services expect fans to do the promotion for them which is a lazy approach to marketing. It's disappointing this series was cancelled because it actually was rather interesting and I had hoped it would get another season to really delve more into the story.
I was looking at the promo picture of Ken from the upcoming Barbie movie and this is certainly a look. It has a very 80s meets 90s feel to it. Ken's look definitely makes me think of sand, surf and coconut oil.
Taking in the overly blond hair, it made me think of two other blond guys, Fred Jones from the live-action Scooby-Doo movies and Evan "Buck" Buckley with his temporary blond hair in a flashback scene on 9-1-1. I couldn't help wondering Who Wore It Best. So, I created a fun little poll, I wanted to see who you think had the better blond look: Ken, Fred or Buck?
