My Favorite Movies of 2020

With the strange pandemic year, and the accompanying inertia, it was hard to sit still on my couch for a movie meant for the big screen, and also a lot of great cinema probably slipped under the radar. I'm grateful I got to see a few films in the theater, like Tenet, Bill & Ted 3, and Nomadland. Anyway, from what I managed to watch, here are my favorites in order of greatness. Try to see them if you can.

2021 Summer Indie Music Playlist

 Sometimes I worry the indie kids don't make dance music anymore, only heartbreak albums. It's why I quit going to Coachella. Anyway, I combed through thousands of new songs to prove myself wrong (mostly I was right, crybabies), and managed to find some pretty fetching jams. Seriously, don't let slow sad music define your life, or you'll never survive an apocalypse with a smile on your face like I will.
