Hello all! Welcome to the weekend! We are still firmly in January’s grip, but February is just around the corner. Hard to believe that the month is nearly over. Time flies, and all that. Feels like only yesterday that I was working on last week’s update. But here we are again, and there’s a whole new week to look back…

It’s no secret that there’s a bunch a readers here at Speculative Chic. Asking our writers what their favorite read of 2017 seemed like an easy task, but it wasn’t. When you read as many books as we do, how do you pick just one? And did it have to be a book published in 2017, or just a book…

Last year, a handful of our writers embarked on a Speculative Chic Resolution. As with all resolutions, we started out with the best of intentions, but as 2017 progressed and wound down, well, you can see how we fared here. But the lure of a New Year is that clean slate, a chance to start over, and a chance to…

Come one, come all! It’s that time again, Speculative Chic’s weekly roundup! Normally, our roundup editor, Casey Price, would be regaling you with all the things you missed this past week, but like so many of us, she’s been struck by the plague, so the Editor-in-Chic is going to attempt to fill Casey’s shoes. Keyword: attempt. She’s much funnier than…

We’ve shared our 2017 Disappointments with you, so now it feels only appropriate that we share what we’re most looking forward to next year. There’s a lot of amazing content being released, and for a lot of us, it was hard to narrow our picks to just one. Nevertheless, we managed, so without further adieu, come see what the writers…

You know what the trouble is when you look forward to something? Inevitably, it just might let you down, and then something you could’ve shrugged off otherwise becomes a bitter disappointment. So while we at Speculative Chic love celebrating our favorites (seriously, have you been reading our My Favorite Things column?), we also think it’s important to talk about those…

Sometimes, it’s hard not to get caught up in the music of our favorite geeky properties. All I need to hear are the first few notes of “Hedwig’s Theme” from Harry Potter, the wolf-like howl in the opening credits to Buffy the Vampire Slayer, or pretty much anything from The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, and I am there,…

In 2016, your Editor-in-Chic had what she thought was a brilliant idea: why not make New Year’s Resolutions, but make them spec-fic related? So I asked my contributors: What’s something you’ve always wanted to read/watch/play/attend that you keep putting off? A handful answered me, and so, The Resolution Project was born. The plan was to write up our own individual…

Welcome back to Sound Off!, a semi-regular column where members of Speculative Chic gather together to chat about the latest BIG THING in entertainment. This time, remember your ancestors and discuss Star Wars: The Last Jedi, which premiered in the United States on Friday, December 15, 2017. Sound Off! is meant to be a reaction, but not necessarily a review. After all,…

Goodbye, November, and hello December. How is it already the last month of the year? Where has the time gone? Nevertheless, here we are, and I hope that you had a great week, as always. We’ve had a lot of fun here at Spec Chic, and I am your humble guide to what we’ve been doing. Take a moment from…
