In the midst of one film festival, I have managed to stumble across another virtual film festival! Well, similar to Tribeca, this queer film fest is also doing a hybrid of in person and at home screenings, which works out just fine for me! While I only picked out a handful of films from this event, they were ones that were on my radar from other foreign screenings earlier this year. I’m so glad I got the chance to participate!

Tribeca Film Festival (At Home) – Week 1
As the world slowly starts to open back up, that means far away film festivals will once again become inaccessible to me unless I’m willing to travel and drop a lot of cash. Which, I’m not saying it’ll never happy, but for now I’m still glad to be offered a chance to partake in these awesome festivals from the comfort of my own home! Case in point: the Tribeca Film Festival! This is the first United States film festival that is taking place in person since the pandemic started, but they are still offering at home viewings of almost everything (except for No Sudden Move which I’m upset about). This festival takes place over the course of two weeks, so I’m splitting up my haul between the two, so here’s the first batch!
Read moreHacks Season 1 Review
I believe Jean Smart just knocks anything she’s in out of the park, and this HBO Max original comedy is no exception. Coming strong off the heels as the matriarch of Mare of Easttown, Hacks is decidedly quite opposite in terms of subject matter, but don’t be fooled into thinking there are no serious moments in this series.
Read moreSilicon Valley – Seasons 3 & 4
I’m burning through Silicon Valley, so I figured I’d give a light recap of the latest two seasons I watched! This show continues to deliver on laugh out load moments almost too frequent to count, so in my eyes, this comedy is gold.
Read moreA Weekend of New Movies
That’s right, all new movies this weekend! I paid a visit to a theater, checked some out video on demand, and even got to watch a couple from the Milwaukee Film Festival! All were very unique in their own way, and I consider that quite a success!
Read moreCommunity – Season 1
Of all the long-lasting comedy television legacies out there, for whatever reason, Community finally stood out to me as the one to watch. It probably also helped that it originally started airing in 2009 and that it was all available on Netflix, but who’s counting? Anyway, I’m glad I made the foray into this show, because it is truly hilarious!
Read moreSilicon Valley – Season 2
Well, it took me way longer to watch the second season of Silicon Valley, much to my dismay, but it was in no way less funny. For a show about technology, I find myself laughing out loud a lot. And as I said in the first season review, if a comedy manages to take something I know nothing about and still make me laugh, they are doing something right!

Such a short weekend, and a decent amount of movies! No venturing to the theater this weekend, but there were plenty of new titles to catch from the comfort of my recliner, so I made it work.

If it’s a comedy and it’s got Domhnall Gleeson? Count me in!
Read morePEN15 Seasons 1 and 2A
Ever since this Hulu comedy aired, I seen nothing but praise for it, so I figured it was finally time to check PEN15 out! Straight off the bat I could understand why critics loved this show, but I imagine the casual viewer was probably extremely uncomfortable by most of this show. I personally found myself somewhere in the middle of the spectrum, although the first half of the second season really got me hooked.
