Welcome to Hey, What Are You Watching? — your home for pop culture recommendations, reviews, personal essays, and stray musings from me, Valerie Ettenhofer.
If you don’t know me, let me introduce myself: I’m Val, a freelance writer currently working as a TV critic at Film School Rejects, news writer at /Film, and contributor at IGN and The Playlist. I’m also a voting member of the LGBTQ+ critics’ circle GALECA, as well as the Critics Choice Association’s television and documentary branches.
Hey, What Are You Watching? will publish new essay posts periodically, with a weekly round-up post every Sunday or Monday featuring links to what I’ve been watching and writing about. If you’d like more information, you can find a lengthier description of what this project is going for here.
If you’re a paid subscriber, expect access to all posts, plus my undying gratitude. Meanwhile, free subscribers will be able to access 2 of every 3 posts and still a whole lot of gratitude. Either way, drop me a line in the comments or at vettenhofer@gmail.com and tell me what you’re watching!
