Pretend It's Monday
I was watching Yellowjackets
I’m a little late and headed to the airport to testify in my first ever legislative hearing but I couldn’t leave you without entertainment because I assume that you have already head a full Wickathon and then seen John Wick 4 in the theatre and then shed a small tear before giving in to the uncontrollable urge to rewatch American Gods. Followed perhaps by a re-read of the book. No? Just me?
In that case, here are other things for you to do:
Watch
Yellowjackets (Showtime) and Succession (HBO) are BACK! The gods have smiled upon us once again. If you’re not watching these two shows, are you even a part of the conversation?
Waco: American Apocalypse (Netflix)- Oh boy, I could write a whole thesis on Waco but many conspiracy podcasts already have. This is a great updated docuseries though because there was SO MUCH left out of the narrative for so long that really could have changed the course of history.
MH370 (Netflix)- Speaking of conspiracies, this show has them all. This is about what people choose to believe when there are no answers.
Listen
Scamfluencers (podcast)- I have been bingeing this super fun pod, which features a lot of scammers I know but, shockingly, many that I don’t. We truly do live in the golden age of the scam.
The Town (podcast)- If you love learning about the movie business and hearing the hot goss on what’s happening right now, this pod is for you.
Turnin’ Heads (Spotify)- Kari Faux’s new single is super fun. Take a listen and then make a tiktok or whatever the kids are doing these days.
Read
Once We Were Home by Jennifer Rosner- A friend’s wife just published this book. I haven’t read it yet but it’s on my desk and I can’t wait, she’s a great writer.
