Okay, friends, gather ‘round the sober bar cart because I just took Dialed Moods for a spin—and I’ve got some thoughts. If you’re the type who lives for a fizzy little moment of focus and a side of productivity sparkle, this one’s going to pique your interest. But word to the wise? Time your sip wisely—or risk turning into a #nightowlonsteroids.

Drew Barrymore’s memoir, “Little Girl Lost,” is a heartfelt, candid, and profoundly honest account of her tumultuous childhood and early years in Hollywood. Written with a free-spirited, whimsical tone that reflects her resilient spirit, Barrymore opens up about her struggles with addiction, her family dynamics, and her journey toward recovery and self-discovery. 

Respect delivers an insightful, entertaining, and sometimes heartbreaking look into Franklin’s life and career from an all-star cast including Jennifer Hudson, Mary, J Blige, Queen Latifah, and Forest Whitaker. Hudson’s performance is creating Oscar buzz. So we’ll be watching for her nomination. Respect is a beautiful but sometimes uncomfortable, foot-tapping, music-filled ride. But settle in. It’s 2 hours and 25 minutes long. Luckily, I saw it at Cinepolis, where the food and drink service was directly next to my extremely comfortable theater reclining chair. 

Feel Good (2021-2022), created by the brilliant Mae Martin, is one of those rare gems that shines a light on the messy, complicated reality of recovery and relationships without pulling any punches. Over two tight and tantalizing seasons (only six episodes each), this series captures the highs, the lows, and everything in between—like a stand-up set you can’t stop thinking about long after the mic has dropped.
