Movies watched
- Mad Max: Fury Road — Finally saw this one. It has been on my short list since it came out.
- Black Panther — Oh my! Oh my! This may have just become my favorite Marvel movie so far. Such great characters!
- Red Dawn (Riff Trax Version) — Obviously I have seen the original Red Dawn many times, but we watched the Riff Trax version this month and I was dying of laughter!
- Road House (Riff Trax Version) — We continued our Patrick Swayze nonsense. Not quite as funny as Red Dawn, but entertaining.
- Pitch Perfect 3 — I needed some mindless fun.
TV Shows watched
- Supernatural S4-5 — Working our way through this colossal series.
- Full Frontal — We finally caught up!
- Plebs S3 — The last episode was a great send-off for the boys.
- Elementary S6 — J and I have been watching this one in real time. We usual figure out the killer very quickly, but it’s still an entertaining show.
- The 100 S6 — Oh my. This show is super cheesy and yet I can’t wait to watch it!
- UnReal S3 — With J out of the country on a work trip, I get to watch some of the shows that I have ignored in favor of shows we both watch. I finally get to watch S3 for this one!
Comments - Another great reading month in the books. I knocked out a few more book from my unread shelves. I also started a few good series. I even sorted through my unread shelves and put 10 books that I am no longer interested in reading into the “To sell” pile. Here’s to June’s giant stack of comics.
