Some things I’ve experienced lately, in no particular order, and not necessarily only recent stuff:
Bill & Ted Face the Music (Movie): You’ve been missed, Wyld Stallyns 🎸
The Vow (TV): I have an unquenchable appetite for NXIVM material
Kottke Ride Home (Podcast): A fantastic new show in partnership with an Internet legend
Mapleworth Murders (Quibi): So weird, so charming
Yes, God, Yes (Movie): An entertaining and cringeworthy look at evangelical purity culture
First Person (TV): Speaking of Kottke (his recommendation), this was riveting
Nice White Parents (Podcast): A fascinating (and depressing) look at the role of white parents in NYC schools
Don’t Look Deeper (Quibi): This was one of the better Quibi shows
Howard (Movie): A sad story, but those songs
High Score (TV): I mean, obviously 🎮
Strong Songs (Podcast): This guy really knows his stuff
Sex Next Door (Quibi): A peek into the lives of Seattle sex workers
The Seventh Seal (Movie): Had never seen (no Death playing Twister though, so obvious weak point)
Ted Lasso (TV): Kinda old-school, but enjoyable
Nice One! (Quibi): Fast and funny
Money Plane (Movie): See tweet, it was everything I needed it to be 💰✈️
Lovecraft Country (TV): Really interested to see where this goes

The Fugitive (Quibi): Fairly average, with some good Kiefer sassiness
The Swamp (Movie): Always interesting to see how the other half lives
Bad Ideas With Adam Devine (Quibi): Had its moments
Joker: Put on a Happy Face (Movie): A fun look through the characters’s history that reminded me just how dark The Killing Joke really is 😬
