The Weekend Binge: Witches and Cults and Gangsters, Oh My! Where To Stream Golden Globes + Nominees, Dry January Wines + The Official Cocktail of The Globes 🍸
It's the weekend, let's binge!
It’s Golden Globe weekend which means you will either be streaming movies and TV shows all weekend to catch up on the nominees being honored, or not caring less and hitting up brunch and indulging on cheap champagne and OJ 🥂 🍊 and being sloshed before 3pm. Whatever your Sunday is like, I’m suggesting pairing it with both a alcohol and alcohol-free wine because #DryJanuary is still a trend.
If you want to cut your bingeing time in half this weekend, take an hour or two and check out one of the many documentaries newly or re-streaming. From biographies on controversial politicians and musicians to docs on healthy eating and princesses, you can limit screen time and still get in some buzzworthy streams.
But let’s be real, it’s freezing outside and you’ll be holed up inside, wrapped in your TJ Maxx Homegoods cozy blanket, sipping on chai latte and counting down the days until spring. For those long, cold hours try bingeing all six seasons of This is Us now on Netflix or Best Actress Oscar-winner Michelle Yeoh’s The Brothers Sun on Netflix.
Ready, Set, Schedule Your Potty Breaks 🚽 Killers of the Flower Moon will begin streaming on Apple TV+ on Friday, January 12 and it clocks in at 3 hours and 26 minutes. Make sure you add in a personal intermission where you can recharge on wine, grab another bag of pirate’s booty, take a potty break, and maybe do a few streaming stretches.
