The mini-expansion that essentially broke the community and led to a series of changes that walked back most of everything that Bungie was trying with Edge of Fate's portal update. To say this was a disaster is an understatement. The content itself? It was okay.

An over-reliance on parody episodes made this season a bit of a slog to get through. These have always been my least favorite types of episodes, so seeing so many of them in a single season really left me indifferent to most of it. Hoping next season is an improvement.

A beautifully human film about the bonds people forge with one another and all the messiness that comes with it. This is such a lovely little movie with such a spirit to it that is consistently moving without ever feeling melodramatic. It’s cozy and so very moving.

For better and for worse, Zootopia 2 feels like the start of a franchise. It’s structured in the vein of a classic buddy cop film like 48 Hours and doesn’t strive for the deeper themes like the first one did. That does feel like the right call, but it comes at the cost of ambition.

Great performances make a melodramatic and at times silly presentation watchable, though the music stings at inappropriate moments did undercut the seriousness of the story. This is pop history at its most reductive, but it is still enjoyable for the most part.

A fantastic follow up to one of the most hilarious action films of the last few years, this one manages to be more over the top and somehow much more emotional. It walks a fine line between live action cartoon and melancholy that shouldn’t work as well as it does.

While not what I consider Tarantino's best film, I do think this might have his most memorable characters in it. Aldo Raine, Hans Landa, Shoshanna, and Hugo Stiglitz are such incredibly wonderful characters to spend time with, and the wish fulfillment hits hard.

Incredible animation, a more focused story, and much more well-rounded characters make this a solid improvement and escalation from season 1. It's clear there's still way more story to tell, and if the show keeps improving like this, it's going to be something to see.

While not a fun watch, Jennifer Lawerence gives an absolute powerhouse performance in a film both thematically rich and incredibly interesting. Tackling complicated topics like postpartum depression and mental health crises is a tightrope, but I think this mostly succeeds at it.

Lacking the unique style found in director Edgar Wright's other films, this is a surprisingly predictable studio action film elevated a touch higher by Glen Powell's charismatic performance and some timely political messaging that lands shockingly well.

This film will forever be overshadowed by Sweeney's disastrous interview, but as a film, Christy is a solid biopic about an extraordinary, complicated life of a boxer that's bolstered with excellent performances by Sweeney and Foster in the two leading roles.
