#WayBackWednesday – 9 to 5 (1980)
With this being Women’s History Month, I would be remiss if I let the month slide by without highlighting one of the women I admire the most–Dolly Parton. I grew up about 45 minutes from Dolly’s stomping grounds and her…
#WayBackWednesday – Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles II: The Secret of the Ooze (1991)
When I was a kid, I was obsessed with the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. I had the action figures, clothes, shoes, playsets, you name it. When the live-action TMNT movies came out, I begged my mom to take me. Fortunately…
#WayBackWednesday – Darby O’Gill and the Little People (1959)

Fangirlish Does Valentine’s Day: “Miss Congeniality”
