Movies watched
- Godzilla vs. King Kong - Decent kaiju movie.
- Point Break - New version. Beyond terrible.
- Nobody - Very John Wick-esque but starring Bob Odenkirk. We really enjoyed this one.
- Say My Name - A quirky action comedy. We really like these types of movies.
TV Shows watched
- AP Bio S1-3 - We finished the series and I laughed so hard!
- Falcon and the Winter Soldier S1 - Really enjoyed the buddy cop elements of this show.
- Below Deck
- Staged S1-2 - We needed to watch this. Delightful.
- Star Trek: Voyager S2-3 - Slowly continuing on with our goal of watching all the Star Trek. Voyager really is very uneven…
Comments - Very good reading month! I actually knocked out 6 from my Unread Shelf. Unfortunately, I added 16 books to that same shelf. Goodness… Well, more books for me to love I guess.
