Review and recommendations of Netflix's 6-part series, 'Black Doves', and the Caroline Lindy's indie film, "Your Monster". Keira Knightly morphs into a super spy with impressive fighting skills and a comedic relief spy best friend in a series that I thought rivaled any action movie in recent years. Then, Melissa Bererra gives an outstanding performance as a young woman dealing with a pile of disappointments and challenges amidst a backdrop of musical theater and fantasy. BONUS: Jax Taylor's silent Cameo and the recent luxury handbag upset by the "Wirkin"

Sutton's fashion show and Kyle's separated husband take center stage for this episode. Dorit has an awkward lunch with Garcelle, Kathy continues to provide cringeworthy comedic relief, Jennifer Tilly continues to be quirky and likeable, and Erika continues to drag out her storyline of redecorating to an extreme that would make Monique proud.

A political deep dive to review where the country is at after the first 40 days of the latest administration. A look at key players and apparent leaders, executive orders, and other actions of note. Bravo references and jokes are peppered throughout a brain dump of sobering topics that include America's new crypto era, the chaos of mass government layoffs and cuts, objectives from Project 2025, details on various lawsuits, the bravery of historical and current military members, and why seeing the Zelenskyy meeting left me shaken.

This episode revolves around Sutton and Dorit rehashing their "tete-a-tete" from the 4th of July party. Amidst an event to celebrate expensive potatoes, caftans, and jewels, the women jab, mock, and ridicule one another to the amusement of all attendees. Sutton delves into her baser impulses and coins the moniker "Poorit" as she flexes the hefty girth of her divorce settlement. Was it a horrid, distasteful look? Yes. Was it also accurate and amusing? Yes and yes. The episode ends with a collective gasp as the group sees Mo and a young woman splashed on the tabloid pages. BONUS: A mini update on significant changes I'm tracking for the legendary, and once prestigious, office of the Southern District of New York All opinions are personal and not representative of any outside company, person, or agenda.

Then, a wrap up of Blake Lively's amended lawsuit, including an analysis of an "apology" email she sent to screenwriter Christy Hall, a realization about why I find one of their key arguments so insulting, and a rundown of what items still remain contested.

As Dorit searches for the perfect body chain amidst a closet in disarray, Sutton arrives to an empty foyer and is subjected to 39min of waiting and muttering. From there, the scene is set for confrontation and outbursts from each cast member as Kathy looks on with a fan.

Wading through the last pages of Justin Baldoni's 168-page "Timeline of Relevant Events" that presented new information and perspectives on specific complaints made by Blake Lively. Final receipts via public articles, production emails, and personal texts, supported Justin's claim that Wayfarer and Sony catered to escalating requests and schedule changes solely to keep the peace and ensure Blake would not only finish the film but also promote it. His PDF document ends with new revelations regarding timestamp data, found by TikTok sleuths, that seems to show The New York Times' access to those personal texts, and Blake's complaint, weeks prior to them reaching out to Justin's team for comment.

New behind the scenes information and receipts regarding cast opinions on shooting the film, Colleen Hoover's BookCon event, dueling film edits and audience viewer scores, as well as a looming Contract of Engagement that may have never been signed by Blake Lively, all continue to fill in the gaps of a dysfunctional reality far more fascinating than any authored work.

Sutton's trip to Augusta, Georgia to work on her strained relationship with her mother takes center stage in this episode. With Garcelle and Kyle by her side, she braves the trip to her childhood home where her family experienced the loss of her father. Sutton finally confronts her mother, Reba, about their lack of connection and we bear witness to the disappointing dynamic. Back in Beverly Hills, Dorit's upbeat mood about PK/PJ finally calling falls flat when Boze and Erika remind her of the stakes and his likely ulterior motives for smoothing the situation over after riling her up.

A full rundown of the last two episodes of Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. From Kyle and Dorit finally squashing the "more than memes" text issues, to a look back at the nicer times between PK/PJ and Dorit before she laments him going MIA before resurfacing to send a tersely worded seven-page email, the episodes run a gamut of emotions for Dorit. Sutton's visit home to Georgia with Garcelle and Kyle reminds us about her challenging relationship with her mother, Reba. Erika spends $37k on luxury interior design and warns Dorit about being proactive in her situation with PJ/PK. Boze continues to deliver stellar commentary while not hesitating to dive into topics with the group and we get a Kathy sighting complete with a Capri inspired, lemon forward luncheon.
