June 2024 Watch List
To qualify for my Watch List every month, the following has to be something that I've watched that's new to me. It doesn't necessarily have to be a current show, but it can't be reruns or rewatches of something I've already seen. So if I'm including it in this list, it means this month is the first time I've watched it. I'll put "DNF" (Did Not Finish) next to anything that I stopped watching and have no immediate plans to finish.


Movies

         *Bullet* Boss Baby: Back In Business
         *Bullet* Ferrari (DNF)
         *Bullet* Hit Man
         *Bullet* Inside Out 2
         *Bullet* Next Gen


Television

         *Bullet* FBI (Season 1)
         *Bullet* FBI (Season 2)
         *Bullet* FBI (Season 3)
         *Bullet* FBI (Season 4)
         *Bullet* FBI (Season 5)
         *Bullet* Hacks (Season 3)
         *Bullet* The Legend of Vox Machina (Season 1)
         *Bullet* The Legend of Vox Machina (Season 2)
         *Bullet* Selling the OC (Season 3)
         *Bullet* X-Men '97


My wife continued to binge-watch the procedurals this month (five seasons of FBI in one month!), and then I had to take a break and start watching some other stuff, so I got caught up on a few other shows that I've been meaning to watch. On the television side of things, I'm really hard-pressed to pick a favorite. Hacks is such a smart show, and Season 3 definitely didn't disappoint; especially the cliffhanger they left the end of the season on. But I think I loved The Legend of Vox Machina (an grown-up animated show based on the Campaign One of the hit online live-play D&D campaign from Critical Role) might have been even better. Bringing the exploits of that campaign to life and imagining things through the lens of animation was really, really fun. But from a pure nostalgia and professional pride perspective, I think my favorite show would have to be X-Men '97, an animated show we've been working on for months, and that continues where the very popular Saturday morning cartoon series left off.

I didn't watch nearly as many movies as television this month, and in general they were pretty forgettable. Especially Ferrari which I didn't even get through because it was so slow. But Inside Out 2 was surprisingly great, and I think I might have enjoyed it more than my kids. The new "grown-up" emotions were a great complement to the original five. And the way they depicted anxiety and the way it can both protect you as well as completely consume you was really well done. I honestly saw a lot of myself in the way the emotions interplayed in the movie and it was a great follow-up to the first film.


TOP PICK: Inside Out 2
