Marry, Boff, Kill: The Boys of Civil War (Ellen’s Answers)

Posted in Marry Boff Kill, MBK, Movies by Ellen Lloyd

Last week, Whitney challenged me to a round of our favorite game and yours, Marry, Boff, Kill, with this round focusing on the supporting cast of Captain America: Civil War. Whitney is notorious for always getting this wrong, so let’s delve into the CORRECT answers.

Marry Falcon

Of course you marry Sam Wilson. The guy is quick with the one-liners, he’s an American hero who served this country with honor, and I reckon he is always willing to bust out the wings for a quick trip to the grocery store when I forgot milk. What more could a girl ask for?

Boff Black Panther

Black Panther is the obvious choice here because he is the only one who is a guaranteed animal in the sack. ‘Nuff said.

Kill Bucky Barnes

…Even though just the thought of it kills me. He’s just far too brooding and complicated for this carefree, easygoing gal. Also, after the revelations in Civil War I think that it is safe to say that Buck is dealing with emotional baggage that he would rather forget. I’m considering this a merciful killing. Say hi to Peggy for me.

Marry, Boff, Kill: The Boys of Civil War (Whitney’s Answers)

Posted in MBK, Movies by Whitney Weldon

I know, I totally get it. Too much Civil War. I give you, here and now, my promise that I will consider, potentially, at a later date, eventually contemplate posting about other things. Maybe. But this billion-dollar-summer-blockbuster-snowball just keeps getting bigger, so we are going to ride this out with our very own Civil War edition of Marry, Boff, Kill! Our contestants are Chadwick Boseman as Black Panther, Sebastian Stan as The Winter Soldier, and Anthony Mackie as Falcon. And for once, Ellen, I want a clean fight. (Psych! I’m planning to draw blood). So without further ado…

Marry Black Panther

Pros: a (bananas) sexy scientist

happens to be king of a sovereign nation

moonlights as a superhero.

Cons: none to speak of.

Conclusion: yes please.

Boff Falcon

Mama always said, when looking for someone with whom you can share a casual, mind-blowing sexual encounter, look for a sense of humor.

So if my mama asks, I find Anthony Mackie’s butt hilarious.

Kill Bucky Barnes

The right sequence of words turns him into a one-man kill squad. I never stop talking. Murphy’s Law pretty much guarantees that I’m going to inadvertently turn Bucky Barnes into a metal-armed death machine. We’re… not a good fit.

Marry Boff Kill: New Fall 2014 TV Shows

Posted in MBK, TV by Ellen Lloyd

You may not have noticed, but we love TV here at Fangirly. Like, love love. So much so that I attachments I form to my shows are lasting and real. I thought I might try and predict which shows I want to spend my life with/have a one-night stand with/give the axe.

Marry:

Gotham – As Whitney so perfectly summed up yesterday, this show has some things working against, but from where I sit, it is one of the most promising of this new crop of shows. I’m a little hesitant to tie myself to a show that is almost exclusively comprised of villains as that may get trying, but i have faith in the human decency of Baby Commissioner Gordon.

Marry Me – Do you know what else I have faith in? The creative team behind Happy Endings. Comedies always take a bit longer to find their groove, so even if I am not sold on this one within the first few episodes, I am going to stick with it. I initially gave up on Happy Endings after the first couple of episodes. It makes me weep to think about how I was part of the problem. I will not do the same thing to this show. If only for the possibility that someday the whole cast of Happy Endings will guest star as Wilson’s old college friends or something. Have I mentioned that I love Happy Endings?

The Flash – Those smarty-pants at DC Comics and The CW know how to guarantee an audience for a new show. Just air a back door pilot during a show that already has a rabid fan base and then guarantee crossover episodes for years to come so that said fan base has no choice but to also watch the new show. I also saw this pilot at Comic Con and it promises to be a fun, poppy, comic book romp.

Boff:

Jane the Virigin – I am not just picking this because it is humorous to boff the “virgin show”. Back when the promo for this show came out, it would have gotten a kill, but early buzz is pretty good with great reviews for star Gina Rodriguez and it is not too hard to convince me to watch a sweet CW show.

Mulaney – Please be good, Mulaney, please be good. There is a lot riding on this one for me. If it is good, I will get a weekly dose of John Mulaney’s patented blend of dorky, pop culture infused stand up. If it is bad, I will cry. The multi-cam format with a laugh track has me worried but I am trying to be optimistic.

Gracepoint – I haven’t yet gotten around to watching the UK source material, Broadchurch, but I feel like that may work in my favor for this US version. Bonus boffability points for David Tennant with an American accent. I’m weirdly into it.

Kill:

Selfie – There is so much here that I want to like. I mean, Karen Gillan in a My Fair Lady retelling? What’s not to like? I don’t know but this looks kind of stupid.

Scorpion – CBS hammered the final nail in this show’s coffin when it obnoxiously self-promoted on my beloved Big Brother. Stay out of my trashy television!

Cristela – This show seems to be cashing in on the ethnically-diverse-female-who-pokes-fun-at-her-weight card that Mindy is already working.

Marry Boff Kill: Marvel Chrises

Posted in MBK, Movies by Ellen Lloyd

Marvel sure does have a thing for casting a Chris as a superhero, but who can blame them when their picks are Chris Hemsworth, Chris Evans, and Chris Pratt. In continuing with our never ending game of Marry, Boff, Kill, we are (quite happily) taking on these Marvel Chrises. Bring it on, boys.

Ellen’s Answers:

Gamora in the back? My look for hubby Chris Pratt

Gamora in the back? My look for my hubby, Chris Pratt

Marry Chris Pratt: By far my easiest MBK decision yet. Listen, my number one quality always has been and always be a sense of humor, so cast member from Parks and Recreation? Yes, that should do nicely. That he also comes in the package of Chris Pratt? That should do very nicely. And no, it doesn’t matter if we are talking Chris Pratt in Guardians shape or Parks season 2-3 shape. I have always loved him.

Must. Not. Use. “Hammer” euphemism.

Boff Chris Hemsworth: I don’t think I need to defend my answer, but in defense of my answer, I recently saw Chris Hemsworth at Comic Con and I’m pretty sure my ovaries literally reached out to him (TMI? Meh, whatever), so I feel like they would be angry if I didn’t take this opportunity to boff him. Like this is a likely scenario. Oof, just the thought of it is too much for me to handle.

Don’t cry, Cap.

Kill Chris Evans: This does depress me, but one of them had to go. Considering that it wasn’t really until Winter Soldier that I boarded Chris Evans Express, I am left having to mercilessly sacrifice him to the MBK gods.

Whitney’s Answers:

Ellen, you smart, strong, sensual Dill-weed. As per ushe, you have completely bunged this up. Sit back before you hurt yourself. I got this.

Marry Chris Evans: Logistically, he is the most sensible “marry” choice, as he is the only unwedded Chris. Oh, and also because he is a six-foot slice of human perfection. I only came to this conclusion after I saw him interviewed during the Avengers press junket. You would think that someone this gratuitously hot would have the common decency to be super boring and unfunny. Not so. Watch and weep, guys.

Boff Chris Pratt: I have this whole boff completely mapped out: Mouse Rat would be playing in the background, we would be cruising the galaxy on his super-sweet space ship, and Champion the three-legged dog would be cheering us on from the sidelines. As if I even need to say it, this boff would be at least 5,000 times better than a Candle in the Wind.

Kill Chris Hemsworth: Ellen and I have played this game a lot. By which I mean that we once spent an entire three-day weekend doing nothing but sitting on a Santa Cruz beach, soaking up those sweet UV’s, and deciding the fate of every single celebrity we could think of. (Seriously, Rick Moranis made an appearance; we were not messing around.) One thing that I learned is that Ellen agonizes over almost all of her kills, and I execute mine with all the cold, detached objectivity of someone who actually understands that this is, you know, a game. So I’m gonna go ahead and kill off Hemsworth. Not because I don’t think he’s boffable, but because I actually fear the power of his boff. He’s just too much man. And obviously I can’t marry him because Chris Evans and I have an understanding. Sorry Thor. I hope your super hot wife and too-cute baby will be some consolation, however small.

Marry Boff Kill: YA Fiction Edition

Posted in Books, MBK, Movies by Whitney Weldon

If you are wondering why two non-psycho, full-grown dames would actually spend time reading Young Adult fiction, let alone deciding who among YA babe pool they would marry, boff, or kill, then you are not alone. At the risk of only further worrying our moms, we decided to bring you our MBK picks for our three favorite YA heroes: Ethan (Beautiful Creatures), Peeta (The Hunger Games), and Four (Divergent).

Whitney’s Answers:

Marry Peeta: Two words: job security. Peeta is a BAKER in a post-apocalyptic police state where 90% of the population are two reapings away from gnawing off their own fingers. Even if he wasn’t totally dunked in Victor swag, he could pretty much guarantee me a lifetime of rolling in dough (pun fully intended). Also, this kid has been sent to almost-certain death twice now, and I think he finally deserves a pass. Guess what Peets’, the odds are finally in your favor!

Boff Ethan: Hot? Check. Eager to please? Evidently. High School Graduate? Well, two out of three isn’t bad.

Kill Four: How do you like that, Ells? I’m gonna kill your YA soul-mate. I think this finally makes up for the time you let me make a total jag of myself in front of Zachary Levi at Comic-Con 2011.

Ellen’s Answers:

Whitney has this so clearly wrong that it is disconcerting. I will be contacting the authorities after I am done writing my answers.

Marry Four: The beautiful Theo James aside (look at how introspective he is), I have always loved Four (I have serious hang ups with name Tobias, so he is always Four to me). When you read the books, you don’t even have to physically see him to know that he is a babe, you know? He’s a Man, with a capital “M”, but he doesn’t take anything away from Tris. You then throw Theo James in the mix and it is just the cherry on top. The charming, delicious, delectable cherry on top.

Boff Ethan: This is based on the following 1) I can’t both boff AND marry Four, so I chose to boff him 24/7, because that is how I imagine our marriage. TMI? I don’t care. 2) The makeout scenes between Ethan and Lena were hotter than those between Peeta and Katniss. I get it Hunger Games was about more than making out, blah blah blah. Social class warfare matters very little in this game of Marry Boff Kill, that should be clear by now.

Kill Peeta: Look, I am Team Peeta before I am Team Gale, but I am also not a card-carrying member of Team Peeta. I just prefer my YA heroes with a little bit more of a “take charge” attitude. Frosting oneself to look like a tree does not qualify in my book.

Who got it right? Who got it wrong? Who is reporting us to our respective local authorities?

MBK: Ben Wyatt, Shawn Spencer, and Damon Salvatore

Posted in MBK, TV by Whitney Weldon

This weeks Marry Boff Kill is perhaps the most contentious in recorded history. We will be deciding the fates of three of TV’s handsomest men: Ben Wyatt (Parks and Rec), Shawn Spencer (Psych), and Damon Salvatore (The Vampire Diaries).

Whitney’s Answers:

Marry Shawn Spencer: Anyone who doesn’t think that Shawn is marriage material is an old sponge with hair hanging off of it. He’s funny, self-employed, and he kinda looks like a young Andrew Lincoln. Also, because Shawn and his BFF Gus are something of a package deal, I would be getting two smokin’ hot men for the price of one. To not take that deal, I would have to be just like Topher Grace walking on the beach at the end of In Good Company.

Boff Ben Wyatt: Is it ethical to boff someone out of curiosity? I mean, we know Damon can boff with the best of them, and Shawn has a long-standing reputation as a ladies man, but Ben Wyatt is something of a mystery. So I’d boff him, you know, just to see what the deal is. Does that sound slutty? I’m sure my mother will let me know.

Kill Damon Salvatore: I really have no problem killing Damon because he is a lead character on a show that is notorious for killing people and bringing them back to life. I’m pretty sure that the writers of VD will think of some supernatural plot device that will have him up and dancing on that banister again in no time.

Ellen’s Answers:

Whitney, you ignorant slut. This is the only real course of action…

Marry Ben Wyatt: Ben Wyatt has all the qualities that this girl looks for in a mate. Namely, that he would be a most faithful, lifelong Comic Con companion. I would support him in his every endeavor, whether they be lackluster claymaish shorts or his Low Cal Calzone Zone. We would enjoy nights of Game of Thrones viewings and lively debates on the value of the Lord of the Rings trilogy. How can a real fangirl not marry this fellow nerd? Ben Wyatt, I like you and I love you.

Boff Damon Salvatore: Whitney, you shock and amaze me. How can you post your above picture of the infamous bannister dance and NOT boff Mr. Salvatore? And look at that cock of the eyebrow. I could never resist. I think I can safely say that if Damon Salvatore is ever in a round of Marry Boff Kill, he is always the ONLY option for boffing. I don’t want to marry into all that broody, self-loathing, immortality. But a night of passionate vampire boffing? Check, please.

Kill Shawn Spencer: As is the case with most killings in this game, this one grieves me. I love Shawn Spencer and a life with him would one full of laughter and adventure. But… he’s also a manchild and this girl likes men. While I take much joy from watching his childish antics every week (or when USA deigns to air this show every six months to a year), I don’t think I would want a lifetime of them.

Who got it right? What are your answers?

MBK: Mr. Darcy, Mr. Tilney, and Captain Wentworth

Posted in MBK, Movies by Whitney Weldon

The line between reality and television continues to blur as we bring you the next round of our never-ending game of Marry, Boff, Kill! This week we will be deciding the fates of our three favorite Jane Austen heroes: Henry Tilney (JJ Feild), Fitzwilliam Darcy (Colin Firth, duh), and Captain Frederick Wentworth (Rupert Penry Jones).

Whitney’s Answers:

Marry Henry Tilney– I have not felt this kind of passion for a leading man since my Brendan Fraser phase in the late 90’s. And it’s not just because JJ Feild looks like Tom Hiddleston’s cooler older brother. Mr. Tilney embodies everything I look for in a man: funny, smart, gainfully employed, and wears breeches like he’s doing them a favor. Also, he seems like the most fun out of the three, a quality we value highly here at Fangirly. Right after raw animal magnetism, of course.

Boff Mr. Darcy- This is more of an obligatory boff, because my mother taught me that a lady must always boff Mr. Darcy, should the opportunity ever present itself. Also, Colin Firth is to sex appeal what Honda’s are to resale value: he never loses it.

Kill Cap. Wentworth- For a while, Darcy and Wentworth were neck and neck for the coveted ‘boff’ position, until I remembered the horrific kissing scene at the end of the otherwise incredible drama Persuasion.

Really Captain, if it takes you that long to seal the deal on a kiss, I’m afraid I’m going to have to let you go. And, judging from what I just saw, I’d probably be putting you out of your misery.

Ellen’s Answers:

Marry Mr. Tilney – Well, at least Whitney and I can agree on something and that is the utter eligibility of one Mr. Henry Tilney. This guy has it all, old school chivalry with all the modern sensibilities of charm, humor, and how to impress a lady by sharing her taste in entertainment (at least that works for me). Mr. Tilney as portrayed by JJ Feild is even more marriage-worthy (Neve Campbell knows where it’s at). While Mr. Darcy may have been my first Austen crush, my gateway hero, if you will, I’m sticking around for Mr. Tilney and his winning charm.

Boff Mr. Wentworth – I blame that kiss entirely on Anne. He is letting her take the reins (even more hot). And have you SEEN him?! He is described on the special features as being “sex on legs” and never will that moniker be more appropriately applied. But, Rupert Penry-Jones’ beguiling visage aside, Wentworth is a navy man and is probably accustomed to a quickie before leaving port. Wentworth is far too much of a gentleman to have been swayed by such temptations in the past, but in this MBK scenario, I would be that temptation. And he would be scurvy and syphilis free, of course.

Kill Mr. Darcy– As most of my “kills” do, this one kills me. As I mentioned, Darcy was my first love, but this Austen-lover has grown up and realized that she is looking for more than brawn with sideburns swimming in a lake. I need someone with a little more personality. Yeah, that house is hard to turn down, but who would want to clean that thing, or even oversee cleaning that thing?

MBK: Dean Winchester, Peter Bishop and Daryl Dixon!

Posted in MBK, TV by Whitney Weldon

Our never ending game of “Marry, Boff, Kill” rages on, and the questions aren’t getting any easier. This week our debate gets pretty heated as we discuss the relative merits of our favorite Sci-fi/fantasy boys: Dean Winchester (Supernatural), Peter Bishop (Fringe), and Daryl Dixon (The Walking Dead).

Whitney’s Answers:

Marry (duh) DEAN WINCHESTER!– aka The Superior Winchester. In the words of REO Speedwagon, I can’t fight this feeling anymore. I knew from the first time I heard you say “pig in a poke” that you and I had something special. I don’t care that you can’t hold down a legitimate job or a successful long-term relationship. Are those things even indicative of marital success? Probably not. So what do you say Dean? I’ll bring the salt, you bring the holy water, and Sam can go sit in a corner and contemplate his poor life choices.

Boff Peter Bishop– Why not? He meets all my criteria for a Boffable TV leading man. First, he’s got a checkered past (I mean, when he met Olivia in the first season he was working for shady characters in Iraq). He’s also crazy smart, which means we would have some pretty intellectually stimulating pillow talk. I should also mention that I’ve wanted to make-out with Mr. Jackson ever since he skated his way into my heart as Charlie in The Mighty Ducks. All things considered, Peter Bishop is a totally suitable Boff.

Kill Daryl Dixon– Don’t get me wrong, I have a serious case of the Hots for this post-apocalyptic bad boy (I find his ear-necklace to be both a Dealbreaker and a Dealmaker). I just don’t think I’m cut out to be the wife of a seasoned zombie slayer. And while he would probably be an excellent Boff, brother hasn’t taken a shower in months, something that I would find repulsive even if he hadn’t spend all that time covered in zombie gore. So thanks, but no thanks Daryl. Best of luck living in your Walker-ridden dystopia.

Ellen Answers:

Marry Dean Winchester: Well, well, looks like that next family gathering is going to get pretty awkward, Whitney, because we’re both bringing home the same guy to meet the folks. Readers, if you need to know anything about us here at Fangirly it should be that we love talking about movies and TV. Following close behind, though, we love talking about our shared love of Dean Winchester. While I am aware that a life being married to a Winchester definitely comes with its fair share of cons, it comes with a huge, massive pro in that I would get to call this man my husband. Let the demons, vampires, shape-shifters, leviathan, and menacing angels, I’ve got my man. May the best girl win, Whitney.

Boff Daryl Dixon: Just know that it is going to be impossible for me to get through this paragraph without some strong use of innuendo. Daryl is the obvious choice here. He fulfills every “bad boy” fantasy that a girl can ever have. Motorcycle: check. Can be really sweet, but then turn around and be kind of awful, AKA “the tortured soul complex”: check. Knows his way around a weapon, in this case a crossbow: check. My opponent accuses Daryl of being dirty. My rebuttal would have to be, yeah, he is! Isn’t that we look for in a good boffing candidate. Lori, put a leash on your kid because this is happening. And if Dale’s trailer is a rockin’…

Kill Peter Bishop: Look, I love Peter Bishop. He’s done more for his woman and the rest of mankind than any guy out there. It just would never work because he looks too much like my cousin. Who happens to be Whitney’s brother. Yeah. Let that one sink in. Sorry, Peter. Maybe in a parallel universe.

Whitney’s Post Script: My brother wishes he was as foxy as Joshua Jackson.

Marry Boff Kill: New Fall TV Shows

Posted in MBK, TV by Ellen Lloyd

It’s here! It’s finally here! I feel my life beginning to take meaning again. That’s right everybody, fall TV is upon and with it comes a fresh crop of new shows. Like any sane person would do, I have chosen which of the new shows I am ready to marry, boff, and kill. In other words, which shows I already feel commited to, which I am willing to give one night of passion to for them to prove their worth, and which I will be killing from my DVR lineup. Let’s dig in!

Marry:

The Mindy Project – Having already seen this pilot, I have to say that I was impressed. I typically feel that pilots are a poor test in deciding whether a show will be good or not. It is a strange thing to go back and watch the pilot of a show that you have loved for years, because they usually morph into something completely different. That being said, pilots usually suck so I like to give them some time to grow on me. The promos for this show left me on the fence, so imagine my surprise when I left the pilot almost positive that I was going to fall for this show. Mindy is a funny, smart, and unique female lead and judging from some of her references, I feel like we are of the same people. Definitely the show I am most excited about of this bunch.

Ben & Kate – Like the above, I have already seen the pilot to this show. Though I enjoyed it to a lesser degree, I still saw promise. Do I think it will join the lineup of shows like New Girl or Parks and Rec, shows that I can’t wait to watch every week? No. But do I think it could join shows like Raising Hope or The Middle, shows that I enjoy but have no problem letting pile up on my DVR until I have a lazy Saturday morning? Yeah.

Nashville – It’s got Tami Taylor, y’all! I shouldn’t have to say anything else, but I’m going to anyway. I love a good song and dance number, even when they are country. In general, I tend to go more for comedies, but the dramas I do watch tend to be ones that I can still have fun with, i.e. soapy, slighty over-the-top dramas. This looks like it should deliver in spades. Also going for it, the critics are raving and I am weak enough to buy into it.

Boff: (I’m going to start talking less)

Elementary – I may only have room in my heart for one Sherlock and Benedict Cumberbatch is taking up a pretty large residence. Show me what you got, Johnny Lee Miller!

Arrow – Dear CW,

Nice work with those billboards. You are really proving the boffability of this program. If you have any brains with that brawn, I could see this really working out between us.

Sincerely, Ellen

P.S. Nice work scheduling it with Supernatural.

Revolution – The premise intrigues me, but I don’t know how that plot is going to work on a week to week basis.

Kill:

The Neighbors – Have you seen the promos? I really don’t need to elaborate.

Chicago Fire – I don’t know why this has no appeal to me. The elements are all fine to great: procedural, bulky men, firemen, and oh yeah, FIREMEN! But it still is not working for me.

Beauty and the Beast – Like most things, the 80’s did it better.

-Ellen

Marry Boff Kill: Rudd vs. Scott vs. Hamm

Posted in MBK, TV by Whitney Weldon

To us here at Fangirly, Marry Boff Kill is so much more than a game. In fact, we firmly believe that you never really know someone until they’ve told you which celebs they would wed, bed, and make dead. Our MBK question this week happens to be something of a sore spot in our relationship. It first came up while on a camping trip more than a year ago, and remains a source of cousinly contention to this day.

Marry Boff Kill: Jon Hamm, Adam Scott, or Paul Rudd.

Whitney’s Answers

Marry Adam Scott- Ha! No brainer. While he’s still smokin’ hot, he’s the least classically attractive of the three so I wouldn’t feel totally inadequate. Also, if I married him I would get to hang out with his Parks and Rec co-stars, which would help me fulfill my destiny of becoming Amy Pohler’s best friend.

Boff Paul Rudd- That boyish face, that sexy grin, and the fact that he’s the funniest guy in Hollywood all lead me to conclude that Paul Rudd would be an awesome boff. Honestly, just look at this picture! (I really hope my parents don’t read this).

Kill…Jon Hamm- Ouch. This one hurts. He’s just too handsome. And every time I look at him all I can think about is his 30 Rock character Dr. Drew Baird, with his hook hands and less than average IQ. Sorry Jon Hamm. It was never meant to be.

Ellen’s Answers

Marry Paul Rudd- I have to. What Paul and I have is lasting and real because I have loved him ever since I was a little girl watching Clueless on VHS, trying to act like I totally got all the jokes. Totally. I like to imagine that he is out there wearing a promise ring, just waiting for me. He may call it his wedding ring that another woman gave him, but whatever.

Boff Jon Hamm – To fully explain my rationale behind this choice, it is important to know my strategy for playing the game. I first decide who will give me a more meaningful relationship. Not just a lover in the nighttime, but a true companion. From there I decide who I believe will be the best boff. Look at that picture. He is literally smoking! To give evidence as to why Jon Hamm is the best choice, I give you the following clip:

Kill… Adam Scott – You have no idea how painful this for me, Adam. It’s not you, it’s me. You’re a great guy, you know I think the world of you. It’s just that someone has to die and it kills me that it’s you. I had to follow my heart in choosing Paul and I had to follow something else in choosing Jon, but know that in choosing to kill you, I’m following a path straight to a night of crying in my pillow. Don’t look at me like that, Adam. You’re only making this harder.

Welcome to Fangirly!

Posted in Agree to Disagree, Anglophiles Anonymous, Choice Picks, Crush of the Week, Fangirly Exposed!, Fanmanly, In with the Old, MBK, Movies, Music, Nostalgia, Sweet Streams, TV by Ellen Lloyd

The day has finally come, the moment that only we have been waiting for, the launch of our new website, fangirly.com! We really have been excited to start and judging from some of the stuff that we have planned the fun is just beginning.

Like our tagline suggests, we consider ourselves to be fairly intelligent, discerning human beings, but you stick us in front of TV screen, movie screen, iPod/Pad screen, really any screen, and something strange happens. We lose all sense of how rational people behave. We squeal, laugh hysterically, sob, and do this weird thing that only select members of our family do, rub our hands together out of excitement.

We wanted to give you a little taste of the fun that is to come, so here are some of the features we will be doing here at Fangirly:

Sweet Streams: Do you ever sit down in front of your Netflix account and wonder what you should watch next? “Sweet Streams” will be our recommendations for what you should be streaming to your myriad of devices.

Grade A, Choice Picks: We’re going to give you our top picks for a variety of categories. Curious as to our top food fight scenes? Top movies based on SNL skits? Top TV bromances? We are going to rank whatever our little hearts desire, because it gives us a false sense of superiority. Join us, won’t you?

Fangirly Exposed!: Look we all have things that we are embarrassed to like, guilty pleasures, if you will. We are going to do the smart thing and announce ours on the internet!

Fanmanly: While we here at Fangirly enjoy our fair share of romance and polka dots and… other girly stuff, we still like to get down and dirty with the boys. (Insert innuendo of choice here). “Fanmanly” is our look at shows, movies, etc. that leave us feeling just a little more hardcore.

Anglohphiles Anonymous: Whether it be the accents, the dry wit, or the general regal air, we love the Brits and their entertainment (at least everything that makes it across the pond). Check out picks for the finest that the UK has to offer.

Agree to Disagree: Let it be said that we agree on a lot, but there are also some things on which we will never see eye to eye. Enjoy as Ellen wins every argument (No, Ellen didn’t write this).

In with the Old: Remember the day when movies and TV shows weren’t all spinoffs, sequels, remakes, and re-imaginings? Us, too! With this feature we hope to remind the future generations that we were once able to come up with novel concepts. Because we believe the children are our future.

Marry, Boff, Kill: We once spent an entire camping trip playing this game, arguing over our choices, and disowning each other for killing certain people. Now we are bringing the game to you guys so you can relish in watching us argue over (never going to happen) hypothetical situations.

Fangirly Crush of the Week: Pretty self-explanatory, but our spotlight on who is rocking our world. At least for that week.

We have a lot planned and we are really excited to start. Hopefully you will find the time to stop by and see what we are up to! – by Ellen and Whitney
