Best and Worst Movies of 2021

Well, after last year I didn’t think it was possible to watch any more movies, but I surpassed my personal best by sitting through 277 films this year. Honestly, there were a lot more good ones than bad! I even got the chance to participate in a few high profile film festivals this year, which might just be the coolest thing ever!

The Premise – Anthology Series Review

I was just preparing myself to see Jon Bernthal at a local comic con when a trailer for BJ Novak’s The Premise came out. I saw Jon Bernthal pop his head in and that was all the convincing I needed. Not only that, but there were only five half hour episodes making up this anthology series, so I knew it wasn’t going to be a huge time commitment either.

Dr. Death Miniseries Review

Back a few months ago I saw a commercial for this miniseries, Dr. Death and knew at some point I was going to get Peacock to watch it. Well, that time has come and it was well worth a month of my life subscribing to NBC’s streaming service.
