Lifestyle of a Fashionista

January 2025

I created the what to watch section of my newsletter to keep track of new movies, series, and everything airing in theaters and on the different streaming channels. Instead of weekly lists, I’m creating a post at the beginning of the month to list noteworthy releases, and releases I’m interested in. If there is not date, they are available to watch now, or the release date is in bold.

Movies and series with a ⭐️ have won an award, or were nominated for an award.

I will post stories on Instagram about noteworthy screen entertainment release dates. Follow me for updates: https://www.instagram.com/lsoffashionista/

The Graham Norton Show is my new favorite talk show to watch. Read How Graham Norton Mastered the Art of the A-List Couch. “Being a quick-witted and smart host, Graham Norton has mastered the chat show. Even if he has some of the world’s biggest celebrities in front of him, he doesn’t get star-struck. He simply treats them like any average person to help lower their guard. With his cards on his lap, Norton pulls out some of the best and unique stories for each guest, and trends effortlessly unite all the guests into the chat to let loose.” It’s a little like Smartless and Inside the Actors Studio.

The Graham Norton Show: Best Bits: Week of December 31, 2024 on January 7th on Netflix. Watch all of season 32 on Netflix, and earlier seasons on Prime Video. Award-winning comedian Graham Norton presents his long-running show focusing on the people, trends, stories and the aspects of celebrity culture that interest him the most, while getting up close and personal with a wide range of celebrities on his big red sofa.
