Given the year that 2020 was, it left us with very little in the way of new TV and movie content. So what did that leave? All those shows that you had put off watching now conveniently streaming on a platform of your choice. It didn’t matter when the show had previously aired, with far …
We stumbled across a Netflix show called Minecraft Storymode.

You better, You better, You bet…I’m going to tell you how The Newsroom made me cry. Of all the Aaron Sorkin shows I have watched so far, this one by far has affected me the most. In just two and a half seasons, the series finale brought me to tears and then had me laughing …
Netflix recently released the third season of their popular show, Glow, a show I have been meaning to watch for some time now. So I used my recent week-long business trip to Chicago, to catch up. During the day, I trained the new hires on the team, and the evenings were spent in my hotel …
