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.

The 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)!
Read moreA Very Serious Movie Weekend
Somehow I’ve managed to squeeze in more movies than should be possible, especially given that the Emmys are on tonight, but here we are! Some are great and some are just meh, but no regrets with my choices this weekend. Here’s my brief take on all of them.
Read moreMost Random Movies
I don’t know that anything I watched this weekend I planned on watching, but I have zero regrets about any of them. All were practically spur of the moment, with a few that I’d never even really heard of before. They also covered a wide array of genres which always makes for an entertaining time. I would say if you picked any of these films to watch in the future you won’t be let down. I promise!
Read moreIt’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia – Seasons 13 & 14
Even though I somewhat predicted it, I was still no less surprised with how quickly my eyes consumed the last two seasons (currently available) of It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia. At first, I was a little bummed with how the last episode of the fourteenth season ended until I remembered that there’s more coming! When that “more” is coming is yet to be seen since 2020 has been such a crap-shoot. Either way, reminding myself that this is a show that’s still on the air put my mind at ease.
