My Review of "Wham!"
Wham! is a Netflix exclusive documentary on the rise and fall of the popular band called Wham!. Growing up in the 80s I was aware of their music but I didn't realize how big they really were. I'm sure many of the general public only know of George Michaels but they probably don't recognize how crucial this band was to his career.

Gen V
We are rounding to a close on the first season of Gen V and it has been a well paced rollercoaster. I am very invested in this show. The younger characters are written very well and are easy to connect to. I like seeing the younger generation get a handle on their powers and struggle with their morality before they are grown up and Vought pushes them into the spotlight. When we last left off in episode 6 with our group now popped back into the real world and out of Cate’s mind. Our latest plot development is that the virus that The Woods has been producing and testing on Supes isn’t really about controlling them or even making them sick, it's about killing them. Dean Sheddy is hoping this virus can be made contagious to theoretically eradicate the Supes from the world. I don’t think I’m reaching in saying that we can probably expect another death before the end of the season.

The Haunting of Bly Manor
The Haunting of Bly Manor is the second Mike Flanagan project we watched after absolutely loving the Haunting of Hill House. This series is slightly shorter than Hill House at 9 episodes all an hour long. Bly Manor took what we loved from Hill House and put it on steroids from the lighting to the camera work. Flanagan's directorial style makes the horror genre something incredible.

My Review of "Bodies Bodies Bodies"
Bodies Bodies Bodies is a thriller/slasher film that came out in 2022. I loved the premise of this movie but I never got around to watching it. It's not necessarily my taste in movies but the concept of the movie was irresistible. To my surprise it was a lot more entertaining than I had expected.
