TV Show: The Bear
I highly recommend it! I started watching it because it won a bunch of awards and I wanted to check it out! It’s a nice blend of comedy and drama and doesn’t take a lot of effort to enjoy (also Ayo Edebiri, I love you).
Movie: Past Lives
Amazing! I saw it at the AMC at the Waterfront and I was emotional. It’s an excellent dedication to the people you won’t meet and the stories you won’t live.

TV Show: House of the Dragon
I am absolutely, positively obsessed. I’ve never seen Game of Thrones and started watching this because I felt like I could better commit to one season (and the second one coming soon!) during the school year. I’m about halfway through this and truly cannot get enough of it! Alicent and Rhaenyra are everything to me and I cannot wait to watch more.
Movie: Hairspray (1988)
I watched this for my Gender & Film class and loved it! It’s honestly so much better and campier than the remake (which I also love).

TV Show: Psych
I absolutely love this show. I’ve watched it before but am rewatching it because it’s such a comfort show for me. It’s super cheesy, witty and nostalgic. I would recommend it to anyone looking for a good show to binge or even to have on in the background while doing work/getting ready.
Movie: Saltburn
I wanted to watch it to see what all the hype was about, but it was honestly really disappointing. Sienna’s review of the movie here pretty much sums up how I felt about it as well.

TV Show: Only Murders in the Building
I’m at the beginning of season three and I think this season is not that good! I loved seasons one and two because they were so easy/quick to watch, but this one is not as engaging.
Movie: You Are So Not Invited To My Bat Mitzvah
It was so funny and lighthearted! I would definitely recommend it if you are in the mood for a laugh but don’t mind a little cringey-ness.

TV Show: Bojack Horseman
I’m on my third or fourth rewatch of it. If you love morally gray characters you need to watch this show right now. One second, a character is getting into a wacky situation, and the next, that person is contemplating their morality. It’s really clever and totally worth the watch. The first episode is kind of a drag but I promise it gets better!
Movie: Deadpool
My boyfriend made me watch it (hi Tony!) and although I usually hate superhero (or superhero-adjacent) movies, this one wasn’t half bad. The humor was clever and the plot was really deep and kept me hooked. I will say it fails the Bechdel test though, so take that as you will.

TV Show: Abbott Elementary
I really like it so far! It’s not as laugh-out-loud funny as other sitcoms I’ve seen, but the fun relationships between the characters are what keep me coming back. I’m a little bit through season two, and I don’t love it as much as the first one, but there is a third season currently airing!
Movie: Shiva Baby
This was one of the most anxiety-inducing movies I’ve ever watched. Everything that could go bad did, but it is pretty short. This is the same director who did Bottoms, which is why I watched it in the first place because Emma Seligman and Rachel Sennott are a great team. I would definitely recommend it but know that you’re getting into something crazy.
I hope you found some new recommendations or learned a little bit more about what our members love to watch!
