Movies

Listen This is too Hard. But Logan Lucky may be my favorite movie ever made, and I love Soderbergh and Cuarón generally. Excited to see more from Lulu Wang. Watch Another Round, The Half of It, and First Cow and get back to me. Still need to see Nomadland, all of Small Axe, Miss Juneteenth, Minari, and Judas & the Black Messiah.

Television

Ya heard about Ted Lasso? Stream The Expanse. Watching Outlander (a mess), The Knick (Soderbergh fucks), DS9 (queercoded star trek but even more than usual), and a bunch of other stuff that I'll pick back up later. Rewatching season 1 of Hannibal and The Dragon Prince.

Books

Current faves: Rebecca Roanhorse, Sarah Gailey, Brandon Sanderson, Malka Older, Neon Yang, Tamsyn Muir Old Stand-Bys: Gabriel Garcia Marquez, Carlos Ruiz-Zafon, and way more shit I read in school. Mid read on a lot.
