Mother of the Week, Now Apocalypse and I Saw The TV Glow
This week's Mother of the Week isn't just a mother. She's a mamma, no doubt.
People say everything went to shit in 2020 when COVID hit, but the world actually ended in 2019 when Now Apocalypse was cancelled.
Not a day has gone by since that I don't wake up screaming.
How did we fail a super gay, genre-fuck of a show filled with hot people, one created by GREGG ARAKI, no less?
Anyway, go watch the first and only season of Now Apocalypse for clear skin and good crops this year.
