TV I have finished or stopped watching in 2025
His Dark Materials(We FINALLY finished this show, lordy! It wasn't bad but the last season was slow and there was SO much time between seasons 2 and 3 and it took us then even longer to watch so it lost a lot of emotional resonance. ALAS.)
Step by Step (Started 6/6/24)(Currently through S3, Ep 8)(Haven't touched this in months but also just decided I'm not returning to it, heh.)
How to Die Alone(This was canceled and I'm very bummed and really hoping that it gets rescued by another streamer).
The Sex Lives of College Girl(Soooooooooooooooooooo sad this was canceled and really hope it gets rescued by another streamer.)
Gilmore Girls(Re-watch)(The perfect post-election 2025 balm of a show. Love it.)
Bunheads(Started 3/10/25, Completed 4/3/25)(This was Not Great but I'm not mad I watched it! Last available Amy Sherman-Palladino show that I haven't seen, check and check.)
Gilmore Girls: A Year In the Life(Re-Watch)(Turns out, this Wasn't Great haha. I didn't realize the first time I watched cause I was so happy. Alas!)
You (Netflix Original Series)(This show wasn't perfect but it was a lot of fun and I was really satisfied with the final season.)
Adolescence(This was wildly well done and intense and challenging. Incredible achievement.)
Wheel of Time (Amazon Prime Original Series)(VERY upset this got canceled. I hope another streamer saves it.)
Etoile (Amazon Original Series) (Grrrrrrrrr another good series canceled by Amazon. Another reason it's evil!)
Friends(Finished yet another rewatch. Forever my comfort show.)


Movies!

Movies Watched in 2025
When Harry Met Sally(Re-Watch)(1/1/25)(This is such a perfect quintessential romantic comedy and an ideal New Years Day recovery movie. Glad I rewatched.)
Spellbound (1/3/25)(This was very cute. Interesting message movie on families post-divorce.)
We Live in Time(1/4/25)(I thought this was a lovely film- definitely tragic but also so beautiful. Love Andrew Garfield and Florence Pugh.)
A Real Pain(1/6/25)(Really enjoyed this- Kieran Culkin is really terrific and it was a great story.)
Fever Pitch(1/26/25)(Watched with the besties. Had never seen it. It was fine but definitely not top rom-com pantheon!)
Chicago (1/26 & 1/27/25)(Re-Watch)(Watched with Shannon)(Always an excellent choice.)
Conclave(2/1/25)(Oscar Watch 2025! This was actually really compelling with great performances and all kinds of intrigue. It wasn't at all on my list before it was nominated and I'm glad I watched!!)
The Substance(2/9/25)(Oscar Watch 2025! OMG This was the wildest craziest shit I've ever seen. The most body horror everrrrrrr. But extremely good. Extremely good.)
Anora (2/14/25)(Oscar Watch 2025! This was another wild one but in a really different way. Not really a "for Rachel" movie and honestly I'm a little confused about it's nomination? But Mikey Madison did give an amazing performance.)
Stepbrothers(2/21/25)(Well this was ridiculous but very funny hahaha)
A Complete Unknown(3/1/25)(Watched this in 2 parts. Like so many other Oscar noms I've watched this year, this was.... fine. Well made. Good performances. But left me flat.)
Bridget Jones's Diary: The Edge of Reason(3/29/25)(Re-Watch)(This is not as good as the original but it's very cute.)
You're Cordially Invited(4/21/25)(This started so weird but got really cute and fun and enjoyable.)
The LEGO Movie(5/17/25)(Re-Watch)(Hadn't seen this since the theater but wow it really was so clever.)
Barbie(5/17/25)(Re-Watch)(Always great.)
Father of the Bride(5/19/25)(Re-Watch)(My forever sick day movie.)
Girl's Trip (5/24/25)(Re-Watch)(I love this movie always.)
Friendship(5/25/25)(What a weird movie. Cringe comedy. Not for me but not mad I tried it out!)
Mission: Impossible- Final Reckoning (5/28/25)(This was an excellent (hopefully) final chapter for Tom Cruise's era of this franchise. It honored the entire thing and was a lot of fun with a ton of heart. I loved it.)
Materialists(6/13/25)(This was a quiet and nice little romance but I'm not sure about Dakota Johnson! Or if that was just the character. Anyway, Pedro Pascal & Chris Evans were yummy haha)
Emilia Perez(6/29/25)(Finally back on my Best Picture Nominee Watch Project! This was not GREAT by any stretch and also I didn't hate it as much as I feared. Major representation problems. Interesting story.)
A League of Their Own(Re-Watch)(7/9/25)(One of the greatest movies of all time, watched in on the plane back from Milwaukee vacay, never disappoints.)
Nickel Boys(7/12/25)(Another Best Picture nominee and uggggggggh this was not it! The gimmick of it was irritating and made things unnecessarily disjointed.)
Jurassic World: Rebirth(7/13/25)(OK! This was surprisingly really enjoyable. There was a scene that came close to the wonder and majesty of the first movie. And for the first time in ages, I wasn't actively rooting for the humans to die. Well, not whole-cloth anyway!)
