American Horror Story 13 brings back characters we forgot existed!
2026/10/01
This week on One Woman’s Trash I’m deep diving into the new Avengers Assemble season of American Horror Story: 13. Episodes 1-3 are out now. Discussing the shorter runtimes, why the number 13, the season crossovers & my predictions for the rest of the show.
We’ll then define if it's Trash or Treasure.
In our weekly trash & treasure I’ll also be talking about the horrific Cornell 7 case & my snuggle into autumn.

The Love Hypothesis' fake dating trope works!
2026/09/24
Welcome back to One Woman's Trash, where every week I, Natalie, take a look at the movies and pop culture perceived to be trash and decide if they're actually total garbage or a hidden treasure!
This week, we are putting The Love Hypothesis under the microscope.
Coming to Prime Video from director Claire Scanlon and writer Sarah Rothschild, the film brings Ali Hazelwood’s massive 2021 BookTok phenomenon (which famously originated as viral Star Wars fanfiction) off the page and onto the screen.
The Love Hypothesis follows Olive Smith (Lili Reinhart), a brilliant, introverted Stanford Ph.D. candidate racing to find an early detection tool for pancreatic cancer. When her loyal best friend, Anh, refuses to pursue a mutual crush out of misplaced "girl code" guilt, Olive takes desperate measures to prove she's completely moved on. In a blind panic, she grabs the first man she sees in the hallway and kisses him.
That man turns out to be Dr. Adam Carlsen (Tom Bateman)—the department’s most infamously harsh, intimidating professor. To solve both of their problems (Olive needs to keep up the charade for her friend, and Adam needs to trick the university into thinking he’s settled so they don't pull his grant money), the two enter into a formal, highly regimented fake-dating agreement. Naturally, their strictly scientific experiment in fake chemistry soon starts yielding some very real, undeniable results.
We also cover some Trash and Treasure including getting this episode out late, The Hyrox shit storm and my final wedding of the year!

Practical Magic is just as good as I remember
2026/09/10
Welcome back to One Woman's Trash, where every week I, Natalie, take a look at the movies and pop culture perceived to be trash and decide if they're actually total garbage or a hidden treasure!
This week, we are jumping off our roofs straight into the 1998 classic Practical Magic! Despite sitting at a shocking 29% on Rotten Tomatoes, we break down why this beloved film is an absolute treasure. We dive into its wild genre-bending shift from rom-com to dark sisterhood horror, the way male characters are used as narrative accessories rather than the focal point, and how its exploration of generational trauma, town gossip, and women reclaiming their power still resonates today. Plus, I share why that chaotic trailer completely misrepresents the core story, a hilarious piece of set trivia involving a real witch's curse, and why midnight margaritas will forever be iconic.
Before the main event, we jump into this week's Trash & Treasure:
Trash: The sudden fallout surrounding the Sunday in the Park with George London production after both Ariana Grande and Jonathan Bailey pulled out.Treasure: Reveling in the joyful press tour for Practical Magic 2 (and Nicole Kidman’s elite wig collection), and attending an incredible, intimate local cabaret show featuring my ridiculously talented friend, who just dropped a very sexy new sing!

One Night Only: What If The Purge Was Abstinence Propaganda?
2026/09/03
Welcome back to One Woman's Trash, where every week I, Natalie, take a look at the movies and pop culture perceived to be trash and decide if they're actually total garbage or a hidden treasure.
This week, we are diving deep into the new dystopian rom-com One Night Only! Set in an alternate US where premarital sex is banned except for a single 12-hour window every year, we break down the wild premise, the sheer chaos of a 12-hour free-for-all, and the electric chemistry between Callum Turner and Melissa Barbaro. Plus, I share my real thoughts on how a mandate like this would actually play out, the movie's weird stance on female sexuality and traditional values, and why it almost crossed the line into trash before its pure charm saved it.
Before the main event, we jump into this week's personal Trash & Treasure:
Trash: The bizarre celebrity death streak continuing across pop culture, and my August overspending slide (including an unnecessary robot vacuum and a red light therapy mask I definitely didn't need). Treasure: Binging Season 1 of Adults, finally finishing the heartbreakingly beautiful Song of Achilles, preparing my next book club read Perfume, and celebrating some incredible stats (nerd) with you all!We also lay out our September movie roster, including back-to-back coverage of Practical Magic and Practical Magic 2, followed by The Love Hypothesis.

Theatre Kid Watches "Don't Say Good Luck"
2026/08/27
Welcome back to One Woman’s Trash! This week, I’m putting on my theater geek hat to review Netflix’s new Happy Madison film, Don’t Say Good Luck, starring Sunny Sandler, Melanie Lynskey, and Max Greenfield.
Can Happy Madison actually pull off a heartfelt high school musical drama about grief, family, and high school theater? I’m breaking down the plot, the tearjerker ending, and whether its theater accuracy is correct! From chaotic vocal warmups and audition stress to high school intimacy direction and whether Waitress is way too intense for a high school production, we’re deciding if this movie is total trash or a hidden treasure.
Before we dive into the review, stick around for this week's Trash & Treasure debrief, where I’m covering:
Connor Storrie's buzzcut controversy James Franco starring in AI-backed vertical on Shortical. Remembering the legendary Dolly Parton Joe Jonas’ viral note changes and tour growls making the internet lose its mind Dancing out my stress in a SIX: The Musical workshop

Siblings or Dating? | Your Fault London
2026/06/25
This week on Solo Movie Dates, I stayed inside away from the UK heatwave to watch Your Fault London (2026) on Amazon Prime Video!
As usual, I give my unfiltered gut reaction, a full movie recap, and a breakdown of the most popular romance tropes, not only in this film but across the step-sibling, blended family, and forbidden romance genres (think TSITP, MLWTWB, Cruel Intentions, Gossip girl, Love me love me & tell me softly).
We’re diving deep into:
The forbidden romance appeal: Why are sibling-like relationships dominating modern romance?Sequel drama: The toxic role of jealousy, control, and the "green-eyed monster."Modern romance archetypes: Decoding Nick as the ultimate "bad boy protector."Relationship psychology: How past trauma influences character dynamics and intense physical chemistry.
Timestamps00:00 Welcome in!00:42 Solo Movie Date Setting03:20 Solo Movie Date: Your Fault London07:24 Your Fault London - Recap18:10 Why's everyone banging their brothers?27:35 Nick the 'bad boy'33:20 The green eyed monster39:52 Final Thoughts
The Deep DiveDirected and written by the creative team behind the expanding Culpa universe, Your Fault London (originally based on the viral Wattpad novel series) is a high-octane 2026 romantic drama that blends elite London society with gritty underground chaos.
The film follows the increasingly toxic and intense relationship of step-siblings Nick and Noah as they navigate the ultra-rich world of corporate nepotism and Oxford University. Forced to manage a high-stakes long-distance relationship between a London penthouse and a university campus, the couple finds themselves trapped in a deadly game of jealousy, control, and dangerous setups involving illegal street racing.
Produced as a major streaming event for Amazon Prime Video, this original feature showcases a classic "bad boy protector" archetype where characters weaponize their trauma to navigate a web of betrayal. It’s an absolute must-watch for fans of forbidden romance tropes, enemies-to-lovers tension, and dramatic, fast-paced relationship sequels.

New hubby for Jlo? | Office Romance Movie Review
2026/06/18
This week Natalie deep dives into the 2026 Netflix workplace romantic comedy, Office Romance.
We also discuss my week of casual singing on the side and a chaotic split-viewing schedule. Plus, the Brett Goldstein podcast manifestation, J-Lo's ongoing PR image reshape, and the "churn and burn" of the Netflix algorithm.
The Deep DiveWritten by Brett Goldstein with Jennifer Lopez in mind, Office Romance is a 2026 Netflix original romantic comedy that explores the chaotic, high-stakes world of corporate fraternization. The film follows Jackie (Jennifer Lopez), the hyper-focused, "ice queen" CEO of Air Cruz airline, whose strictly enforced no-fraternization policy is put to the test when she crosses paths with Daniel Blanchflower (Brett Goldstein), a rigid British attorney brought in to handle a scandalous high-profile lawsuit. Set against a corporate backdrop featuring a heavily pregnant right-hand woman (Betty Gilpin) and a bizarre array of cameos from Tony Hale, Amy Sedaris, and Jody Whitaker, the film shifts from office politics to the beaches of the Dominican Republic as the central duo navigates a risky secret affair. Produced with a distinct workplace-comedy vibe, this Netflix original features a blend of sweet romance and vulgar, tonal-whiplash comedy, making it a casual, fun watch for fans of star-studded modern rom-coms and die-hard Brett Goldstein enthusiasts.

Just date your dead sister's baby daddy, why not? | Regretting you movie review
2026/06/11
Welcome back to Solo Movie Dates, this week Natalie deep dives into the 2025 Paramount+ romantic drama, Regretting You.
Directed by Josh Boone and written by Susan McMartin, Regretting You is an emotionally charged romantic melodrama based on the bestselling novel by Colleen Hoover. The film follows Morgan Grant and her teenage daughter Clara, whose already strained relationship is completely shattered following a devastating car accident that claims the lives of Morgan's husband, Chris, and her sister, Jenny. In the tragic aftermath, a shocking, premeditated affair between the deceased is brought to light, forcing the surviving family members to navigate a tangled web of grief, secrets, and betrayal. Produced by Constantin Film and Harbinger Pictures, this Paramount Pictures release features a star-studded ensemble cast played by Allison Williams, Mckenna Grace, Dave Franco, Mason Thames, Scott Eastwood, and Willa Fitzgerald. Filled with soapy twists, heavy-handed high school romance, and a quirky sub-plot involving a "city limits" sign, it is a must-watch recommendation for die-hard fans of Colleen Hoover's signature domestic dramas and glossy, tear-jerking relationship stories.
