Movies watched
Incredibles 2 — Arthur and I went to see this at the theater while in Indiana. He was scared by the villain. I loved it!
Ant Man and the Wasp — Paul Rudd is a treasure! The rest of the movie was pretty good. That mid-credit scene just about killed me.
Peter Rabbit — Parts of this movie were really concerning…
Tag — Funnier than the trailers and reviews made it seem.
TV Shows watched — I didn’t really want anything the first half of the month as I was visiting family and then moving with no tv. We played catch-up for the second half of the month focusing on shows currently airing.
Food Truck Road Race S6 — Random watch while still at my mom’s house. I didn’t realize there were at least seven seasons out. I’ve only seen the first three.
Last Week Tonight — Playing catchup
The Good Place S3 — Playing catchup. Chidi’s breakdown was simply amazing!
Doctor Who S11 — Only two episodes in, but I’m loving Jodie Whittaker’s Doctor.
It’s Always Sunny S13 — Starting out strong with a fun episode featuring Mindy Kaling. I loved the “Time’s Up” episode.
Superstore S4 — The side characters are the best parts of this show.
Big Mouth S2 — This show surprises me with the serious topics and the big laughs.
Comments - We officially moved to Nebraska during the second week of the month. Everything has been thrown off due to the move, but I amazingly enough read a ton throughout. Looking to end the year strong.
