Movies watched

  • Mad Max: Fury Road -- Finally saw this one. It has been on my short list since it came out. 
  • Black Panther -- Oh my! Oh my! This may have just become my favorite Marvel movie so far. Such great characters! 
  • Red Dawn (Riff Trax Version) -- Obviously I have seen the original Red Dawn many times, but we watched the Riff Trax version this month and I was dying of laughter!
  • Road House (Riff Trax Version) -- We continued our Patrick Swayze nonsense. Not quite as funny as Red Dawn, but entertaining.
  • Pitch Perfect 3 -- I needed some mindless fun.

TV Shows watched

  • Supernatural S4-5 -- Working our way through this colossal series. 
  • Full Frontal -- We finally caught up!
  • Plebs S3 -- The last episode was a great send-off for the boys.
  • Elementary S6 -- J and I have been watching this one in real time. We usual figure out the killer very quickly, but it's still an entertaining show.
  • The 100 S6 -- Oh my. This show is super cheesy and yet I can't wait to watch it!
  • UnReal S3 -- With J out of the country on a work trip, I get to watch some of the shows that I have ignored in favor of shows we both watch. I finally get to watch S3 for this one!

Comments - Another great reading month in the books. I knocked out a few more book from my unread shelves. I also started a few good series. I even sorted through my unread shelves and put 10 books that I am no longer interested in reading into the "To sell" pile. Here's to June's giant stack of comics.
