These Are a Few of My Favorite Things

Or, Good Shit

My wife and I don’t have kids. Plus she runs her own business. Which leaves me time to watch and read a lot of movies, shows, and books. And in this moment of fragmented culture, I think it’s important to share what excited, thrilled, touched, and moved us. Here’s what I loved in 2024, in no particular order.
