Superman: Worth pushing past your superhero fatigue to see this one. Entertaining from start to finish with plenty to chew on thematically. Another one that I can’t believe wasn’t written in the past three months. It’s just plain nice to have a good Superman movie out there.

Mountainhead: Not as crackerjack as Succession, but playing on the same field. Armstrong–per usual– gets that in order to show how warping being a billionaire can be, you have to show why anyone would want it in the first place

How To Train Your Dragon: I was dubious when this was announced, but it stuck close to the animated original when it should and diverted when it made sense. Also wow– those flying scenes! I’m so glad DeBlois gave them the space they needed to breathe
Your Friends and Neighbors, Season 1: Never doubt the roles that Jon Hamm picks. I knew this would be good, but I didn’t know how good it would be. Never met a symbol it couldn’t use…
28 Years Later: With the way it comments on immigration and treatment of others, I refuse to believe that this movie was written and filmed more than three months ago.

Friendship: dudes! We’re our own worst enemy!!
(And we have each other’s backs)
The Last of Us, Season 2: Bold decisions do not equal bold outcomes
Andor, Season 2: there’s so much to get into with how our culture’s general knowledge of Star Wars is crucial for how this plays, but I’ll just say this show will stand along 1984 as a seminal text on the impact of facism
Sinners: a thematic and technical masterpiece. This is a messy movie because it’s dealing with a messy subject.
An absolutely perfect Righteous Gemstones finale. More to say later

Yellowjackets, Season 3: What a messy season of television. The show is a shadow of its former self— except for when it’s not (like in the finale). One more season should be good enough to wrap this up.
The White Lotus, Season 3: “Death” this season as opposed to “Sex” last season. It lost a step from season 2, but there’s no way you’re going to put Parker Posey, Carrie Coon, and Walton Goggins in the same show and I won’t love it.

Severance, Season 2: this show continues to walk the tightrope between nonsense and profundity better than any I’ve seen since Fringe– maybe even LOST– because it realizes that sometimes life is profound because it’s nonsensical.
