Some things I've been watching and reading lately:
* Queenpins - Kristen Bell and Kirby Howell-Baptiste are awesome together and should do more stuff like this. It's kind of like a heist movie? (Definitely not fraud. Maybe stealing. Probably stealing. But for great justice. And okay, for money too.)
* Death on the Nile - Spectacular and glamorous. I enjoyed the touches to diversify the characters and dramatise the action. But I feel like Kenneth Branagh is indulging himself with his melodramatic and angsty Poirot. And the whole thing with Bouc is just baffling.
* Encanto - I'm late to the party, but what a heartwrenching and heartwarming movie. Those songs are bangers. The quest isn't about going on a journey far away, the journey is inside you and the quest is right here.
* Moon Knight - I knew nothing going in except Oscar Isaac. The first episode was shaky for me because I am not into some kinds of horror, but Steven is the best and won me over. By the end of the series I was blown away. (Season 2 when? I want to see everyone again. And yes, I mean everyone.)
* The Witness for the Dead by Katherine Addison - Something I love about all my favourite detective series is, the gradual building of a supportive community around the detective. I loved seeing Thara Celehar find the beginnings of his, while recovering from his past traumas, and seeking truth and justice for the dead. (On the other hand, I really want a moratorium on murdered women in noir fiction.)
