Time spent watching films, even crappy ones, is time well-spent.

Martha (2024)

I watched (and enjoyed) Martha Stewart's season of the Apprentice, a few of my much-made recipes are hers, and when I decided to make slipper socks as Christmas gifts, I went straight to her site. And, while I was aware of her jail time and her re-entry into popular culture as Snoop Dogg's best bud, I still didn't know much about the woman. In truth, it's not like she completely bared her soul here (though she did share some very vulnerable romantic insights), but I enjoyed spending time listening to her because she's simply fascinating.

The fact that the "talking heads" were voice-only was pretty interesting. It made me wonder if Martha demanded that no one get the spotlight except for her. I mean, I have no idea if that's the reason we were only hearing her daughter, friends, and ex-friends, but it wouldn't surprise me one bit. And honestly? Queen.
