After stuffing my face with turkey (quarantined at my house), I made sure I left tons of time over the holiday weekend to watch as many movies as I could manage! Here they are, neatly reviewed for you.

Dickinson Season 1 Review
Well, I got Apple + back in order to watch Sofia Coppola’s latest film, so I figured it’d be a good opportunity to a watch a couple more shows in their catalog. I wanted something somewhat comedic, and besides Ted Lasso, Dickinson was the next beset thing. I remember being intrigued by it when press first started for it, but Hailee Steinfeld wasn’t quite enough to sell me on it.
Read moreWorkaholics Seasons 4 & 5
That’s right, I burned through two seasons of Workaholics so quickly that I just decided to write about them at the same time. I’ve only got two seasons remaining and I’m getting a little sad about it. These guys are hilarious together and I just feel like this has the longevity factor that It’s Always Sunny has. Oh, well. Take what I can get, right?
Read moreHalloween (sort of) Movie Weekend
Since Halloween was this weekend, I tried to keep my film choices in that vain. And I would say for the most part I did that! They were creepy, gory, and at the very least mentioned the holiday.
Read moreThe Great – Season 1 Review
Back at the start of the year I was really excited to learn about The Great, a new show that was coming to Hulu penned by one of the writers of The Favourite. And starring Nicholas Hoult alongside Elle Fanning! I didn’t watch it straight away and then the Emmy shows took some precedence, so I’ve only just now gotten around to watching this comedy-drama, and slightly true telling of the early days of Catherine the Great of Russia.
Read moreWorkaholics Season 3
I feel like I’ve grown to love Workaholics much sooner than I did for the last long-running comedy I watched, but I suppose it’s easier to relate to these guys because they are in their 20s and in an office setting. I mean….that’s probably all I can relate to because their personal lives are a tornado and that’s just not me, but their antics make for some amazing comedy. Most of the scenes that have me laughing the hardest are completely unexpected and it elicits a surprised burst of laughter from me. Kudos to them because I feel like that’s hard to do!
Read moreMilwaukee Film Festival and Apple TV+’s On the Rocks
I keep scouring the web for more virtual film festivals and it’s done a great job in providing them to me! Thanks to a stranger on Twitter I found out about the Milwaukee Film Festival, which while it didn’t provide a lot of titles that caught my eye, it did crop up the gem that was I Used to Go Here. I was also equally excited to check out Apple TV+’s latest cinematic offer with Sofia Coppola’s On the Rocks. So that’s what I did last night!
Read moreWorkaholics Season 2
If my experience with watching a long running comedy taught me anything is that as time goes on, the show typically gets better. I promise that is no exception for Workaholics. For my second season in about a week, this show has solidified it’s brand of comedy and doubled-down on the friendship aspect. For all of this, I approve.
Read moreWeekend Movie Round-up
Ah, after last week’s unusual mediocrity, I have got my film viewings back up to snuff. On the lower end, but considering I did stuff with some people (say what??), the fact that I managed to squeeze these all in is quite the feat.
Read moreTed Lasso – Season 1 Review
Let me just start off saying that I had some real doubts about Ted Lasso. As much as I like Jason Sudeikis, the premise of this show just seemed a little lame. A football coach with a slight southern accent gets chosen to coach an English Primier League football team. He’s clearly out of his depth, and I was nervous that the show would solely rely on those out of the loop jokes. Well, joke’s on me. This show was an actual delight to watch and I already can’t wait for the second season (it was renewed five days after its initial release)!
