Monday Media Roundup

Well, I’m actually rather enjoying this. Again: This isn’t everything, but it’s a fair representation of the media that barraged me last week.

Movies

I watched most of Spy Kids with my son over the weekend.
I watched the middle twenty minutes of Roadhouse with my wife one night; I’ve never seen this whole movie but have caught almost all of it in ten and twenty minute pieces over the years for some reason.
One night while trying to go to sleep around one a.m. I accidentally landed on HBO ten minutes into Cast Away and ended up watching the entire thing.

My wife and I watched the last two episodes of Homeland on Showtime. It’s a good thing they’re definitely doing another season because that ending was far from satisfactory.
My wife and my son and I watched another episode of Nate & Jeremiah by Design on TLC. It is definitely be the best reality show on TV and you should start watching it.
We watched the first two episodes the second season of Westworld on HBO and – damn! I loved, loved, loved the first season and it looks like they’ve lost nothing over the break. Bonus points to see an IRL friend of mine on the show! How cool! I love that they’re giving us a little more backstory, although I am confused as heck right now.
I started watching the Netflix documentary Bobby Kennedy for President. I’ve only made it through the first half hour of the first episode so far, but it’s fascinating stuff.
My wife and I finally caught the season finale of This Is Us. I am not madly in love with this show, but I do really like the relationship between Sterling K. Brown and Susan Kelechi Watson.
I watched a lot of Sesame Street videos on YouTube.
Yes, we watched the first two episodes of the second season of The Handmaid’s Tale on Hulu. Yes, it’s excellent.

I read another few chapters of Atlantic: Great Sea Battles, Heroic Discoveries, Titanic Storms, and a Vast Ocean of a Million Stories, by Simon Winchester.
My 7-yo and I are continuing to work our way through the early 1980s Tom Swift series. (We’re on book two right now, Tom Swift: Terror on the Moons of Jupiter.)
