Movies watched
Moonfall - This was utter trash and I kinda liked it.
The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent - Amazing! After learning so much more about Nicolas Cage, I really really enjoyed this one.
Everything Everywhere All At Once - Loved this twisty twisty story. Michelle Yeoh is amazing.
TV Shows watched
The Great S2 - Oh I love this show so much.
Obi-Wan Kenobi - The actors were great, but this show opens up so many plot holes.
Holey Moley S4 - It’s our fun silly show.
The Boys S3 - They have really upped the gore and the ridiculousness.
The Outlaws S1 - I’m very intrigued by this show.
Sex Education S1-2 - Still really enjoying this show.
Love Life S1 - Almost finished with this season.
Shroesy S1 - Surprising that I cared so much about Shoresy as I did. Not as funny at Letterkenny, but solid.
The Orville S3 - Man that third season started with an incredibly serious episode.
Loot S1 - Our new delightful show.
Comments - Such an amazing reading month! I flew through a ton of books (some really great ones in there) and even finished two read alouds with the kids. We also watched a ton of tv (what happens when’s it ridiculously hot outside) and a few movies. The reading retreat at the end of the month helped me wrap up my reading plans and think about July.
