In this episode, the movies that you've seen or should see that didn't get a sequel definitely deserve a sequel. There's a lot of movie out there that didn't get sequels and some that did but the sequels were trash OR some other movies who keep making sequels and they should have stopped.

Alright here goes the list…

Beautiful Creatures (2013)

Some you may or may not know but if you watched them you'll see why they should've gotten a sequel.

Ones not mentioned in the episode but easily could've were movies like The Princess Bride, Race to Witch Mountain, Rat Race, Bridesmaids, Girls Trip, Up, and Inception. I'm actually still pretty stuck on the way Inception ended, it just messes with your brain you know lol

Episode 50

"Long live the Race" 

We Lie, We Cheat, We Steal!

Any true WWE fan knows exactly where that phrase or should I say WWF because that's where I started when I would watch wrestling. It was so exciting, thrilling, and sometimes INSANE. But most of all it was so much fun to watch. The match, the chairs, ladders, tables, body slams, close lines and costumes everything it was awesome!

I'll never forget the first time I watched and I heard Big Show intro music; watching that very large man walk out and smack little dudes in comparison in the chest was hilarious and also a bit frightening. I with the crowd would "ooh" and "ahh" and "oof" because watching someones chest turn red from slaps that sounded like claps was crazy! My younger siblings and would jump off our couches, try to body slam one another on the beds and use pillows to hit each other. My mother was never happy about our decisions but we were so amped up from watching the show. 

It's number 50!!! In this 50th episode, I talk about my favorite wrestling duos. These guys made an impact on my life when I watched so much so that I would watch old clips and videos for nostalgic feelings. There are so many duos that I could've mentioned but I only did a few. Ones that had the most impact on me. 

Here's the list no a particular order

D-Generation X - Triple H & Shawn Michaels 

Goldust and Booker T

The Bros of Destruction-The Undertaker & Kane

The Dudley Boyz - Bubba Ray & D-Von

The Hardy Boyz - Jeff & Matt

Los Guerreros - Eddie & Chavo

KDTime: Word Up!

 Episode 49

The American English language is one of the most sought after languages across the world. Almost everyone wants to learn English so they can work and be successful in America, the land of the free! But is it easy to learn, not really, when we have words that use letters that aren't pronounced in the word. Like in when, the "wh" makes a 'wha' sound but why can't the word be spelled wen? Much like most of the words in this episode they could've been spelled or even said completely different if we were to match their sounds from the alphabet.

 Some words that have weird spellings would include ones with silent letters. There are over 200 words, that english speakers have to comprehend in order to have a conversation in english. They may seem useless when you read the word but they can help out in different ways. 

Some words that have unusual silent letters that make you scratch your head and question why is it spelled like this in the first place are phlegm, pterodactyl, muscle, asthma, receipt, subtle, knead, honest, faux, and rendezvous. When it comes down to the person who is learning how to write in English it is unclear why these words have letters that are essentially hidden when saying them aloud.

What's the best solution for people who are trying to learn and write English, simply memorization. They need to use their memorizing skills to keep them from stumbling over words with hidden letters. What also helps is having someone who is familiar with the language to read to them and go over the words together. That's why it is so important for English teachers and Adult teachers to help them out.

Now for some common (used almost everyday) words that have silent letters:

Silent B:

Bomb

Climb

Crumb

Dumb

Thumb

Silent C:

Scissors

Fascinate

Bridge
Edge

KDTime: Love Story

Episode 48

In this episode, love is in the air for these television couples. And to be very clear this is completely opinionated, but with these couples they have a special place in my heart. They have that slow burn, that undeniable chemistry, that will they won't they feel, and all the vibes of an ENDGAME couple. Now I know there are a lot of television shows and a lot of OTPs but these chosen are mine. Who knows? I could do another episode because again there are lot of tv couples out there that could easily be ENDGAME. 

5 Tv show Couples I absolutely love

1. Meredith Grey & Derek Shepherd - Grey’s Anatomy
2. Chuck & Sarah - Chuck 
3. Dwayne & Whitley - Different World
4. Jamie & Fancy - The Jamie Fox Show
5. Elena & Damon - The Vampire Diaries

Bonus Sinclair & Overton - Living Single

Dwayne & Whitley were from two completely different worlds. Whitley being a debutant and Wayne is a math genius who is headstrong. It’s like a small take from Beauty & the Beast, only the “beast” is really just a nerdy genius. The smart remarks, the slow burn, the there’s no way that these two will get together oh em gee they got together. They were one of the cornerstones of the iconic sitcom. Classic hate to love relationships. Even with it’s on again off again romance we still got to see they are ENDGAME. 6 season

Meredith & Derek start off very cutesy and gutsy because he’s her boss and they literally begin their relationship on a one night stand. Sometimes that works for people. I’ve never been in that situation but I'm not knocking it because I've heard some of those relationships have lasted. The secret romance, the elevator moments, the longing looks. His nickname around the hospital was McDreamy because of his eyes. They go through a lot and it never slows down for them but I think what makes it all worthwhile is the drama of it all. And we only get a glimpse of an “endgame” because well Derek is gone. So that endgame would be them reuniting in death. Honestly I can't see her with anyone else and this show is still on so i’m kinda forced too but it’ll always be him. Still going

Chuck & Sarah from Chuck are ENDGAME. From the very beginning you hope that these two get together and stay together but it wouldn’t be a love story if there wasn’t drama mixed in between. The development between them is exciting and classic will they won't they. Sarah has a job to do and Chuck is trying to learn how to do that same job but he has feelings. Sarah treats him like a job and he breaks down those walls and you just can’t help but root for those two. Their love is incomparable. They fall for each other in a way that is beautiful to see. The ending is bittersweet with a pesky memory loss mission but I believe they find their way back to each other.

Jamie & Fancy, The Jamie Foxx Show. Although this show is a sitcom, it's a majority comedy. Jamie is an aspiring musician who comes to work and live at his family’s hotel run by his Aunt & Uncle. In that time he works alongside Fancy who is the front desk clerk and he constantly flirts with her but she won’t give him the time of day. Well she doesn’t until the last couple of seasons in the show. All Jamie’s romantic advances toward Fancy are mostly unrequited and some of those scenes are down right hilarious. Fancy & Jamie eventually get together and then married by the series end but it is a fun ride to view along the way. I think what makes them a great couple is how it definitely takes time for Jamie to mature. And as he does so Fancy sees him in a whole new way where she can let her guard down to be with him. 5 seasons

Elena & Damon. Now I know what you are thinking… if you are a TVD The Vampire Diaries fan and you were a fan of Stelena or anyone but Damon & Elena that is fine. But you have to admit watching these two spar back and forth change throughout the series was wild. I didn’t like Damon at first but I let you in on a little secret. I am a fan of the underdog! Yes Damon is the underdog in this situation. He is supposed to be unlikable and mean and crazy. But does he not deserve love? Is he unworthy? Vampire bleh bleh aside Damon as a human was a good person. He got wrapped up in Katherine’s drama and subsequently chose a different path because of his heartaches. Drama with his dad and mom. This guy has a lot of issues but the chemistry he has with Elena is out of this world. Stefan is nice and a good guy when he’s not hopped up on blood binges, but he didn’t challenge Elena, he didn’t make her feel most alive. *her words* To be honest Damon could have chemistry with a brick wall and I’d ship it. His story is just so interesting and although he and Elena were endgame the real endgame was the relationship between the brothers Damon & Stefan. 8 long seasons.

Bonus Sinclaire & Overton (Ovie). Ovie is a hardworking guy, and a hopeless romantic. He pines after Sinclair for the first couple of seasons and then finally they get their time to shine together. They are cute and relatable. He is a wise, clever and loving handyman who absolutely adores Sinclaire. Their relationship isn’t quite a slow burn but it makes you smile. I like that out of the four ladies Sinclaire is the first to get married because it made sense. All three of the other girls had issues with the majority of their relationships. Kyle & Maxine could come close second but they made each other too crazy. I’m glad they reconciled in the end but I enjoyed watching Overton and Sinclaire more. 

That’s all for now. Once again this was entirely opinion. No harm no foul here.

Episode 47

In this episode, we kick the Fall season off with some fun family/friend activities that would be great to do. During this time of the year, the leaves change colors, the weather goes from scorching to a light breeze, pumpkin spice everything comes out, apples seem more delectable and more. Funny, I didn't realize that apples are way more appealing in the fall season compared to the rest of the year and yet apples are encouraged to be eaten every single day! The best things to do during the fall/autumn months involve coziness and chill vibes. The air is crisp, the sweaters are warm, all kinds of plaid outfits are brought out from the closets and of course Halloween decorations start to cross the lawns and doorways.

KDTime: Feel This Moment

Episode 46

In this episode we celebrate songs that have finally made it to double digits. 2012 doesn't feel like it was 10 years ago but when you look back and all the ups and downs of the past you realize that time really doesn't wait for anything or anyone. Some of these songs were legit bangers, "mega" hits, cruising on the charts. 10 years ago you could argue that we were still listening to CDs but the wave of audio streaming was carefully taking off with phones being used as mp3s. It was certainly a different world back then. So much so that these songs are seen as "throwbacks" and Gen Z might recognize them but not like millennials do. Take a look at the songs and see which ones you used to belt your heart out to or some that you are seeing for the very first time.
