Quickies - CALAMITY KATE, KIDNAPPING STELLA, OXENFREE, & FIRST CONTACT EP
(Reviewed by Melody Werner)
I watch, read, listen to, and play a lot of things I don't review immediately. In an attempt to at least share some of my thoughts on these pieces of media, I'd like to do a few quickies in one post for at least a few weeks. The hope is to expand on these down the road, but for now these should maybe whet your whistle.
