Foshe Q2 Media Check-In

Much like Thomas my number dipped quite a bit from Q1 for a few different reasons. Ellen and I used to be on different work schedules so when I got off work I could watch a few episodes of a TV show that I was watching. Our schedules are back in sync so we are watching more things together now then ever. I also committed to a few longer running shows in Q1 that are carrying over to Q2. Things also started to open up a little more from the pandemic so we were able to get out and do more. I finished 2 TV shows and have 4 in progress, I watched 12 movies, played one video game, and read 4 books.

Thomas Q2 Media Check In

Well this quarter looked vastly different than the last. I thought I would be able to get through even more content because I was home for much of the quarter on parental leave. But, you would think I would know that having two toddlers and an infant at home would be anything but a time to consume content. I only take into account anything that is new to me, so for instance I am not counting the 21 days straight my toddler made me watch Ratatouille since I have seen that before. In total, I watched 6 full tv shows (and a couple seasons or episodes of 4 others), 1 comedy special, 7 movies, and played 6 video games.

Foshe Q1 Media Check-In

Earlier this year Thomas released a blog of everything he watched during the Covid-19 lockdown. This idea got us thinking that we should do this every quarter. Below you will find my Q1 Media Check-In (Movies, TV, Video Games, and Books), we released Thomas’ earlier last week. What did you watch during Q1?

Thomas Q1 Media Check In

When Kyle asked me if I wanted to continue to track what I was watching, I was excited. I also thought it might be much more balanced. Then, I watched 35 movies in January and realized that movies was going to be my focus area for this quarter. I did watch some tv shows and I did play some video games but my primary consumption was movies. I tried to be more well rounded, adding in some horror, some artistic films, and widening the range of release date. In total, I watched 75 movies, 1 documentary, 5 tv shows, and played 3 video games.

Media and Pop Culture I am Thankful For 2020

2020 has not turned out the way any of us could have imagined but that does not mean there aren’t things to be thankful for. Of course I am thankful for all of my family, friends, health etc. but this is the Going Off Topic blog and with that in mind we are going to throw a twist in the idea. Let’s look at some of the media and pop culture I am thankful for.

Recasting the Expendables with Bad Ass Actresses

The Expendables movies are some of my favorites. Every movie in this franchise is full of a bunch of old school action heroes doing what they do best, kicking ass and making ridiculous one-liners. In all honesty, I wish they would make more of these. Maybe like one a year or something until the end of time. If they take my idea I think we need a total recast of one of these movies with an all women cast. That would be bad ass! Well, lucky for Hollywood I have done all the work and all they have to do is get the actresses together. I have even carried over the incredible, and absurd, character names from the original franchise. Dear Hollywood, don’t let us down!!

18 Reasons Why Con Air is One of the Greatest Movies of All Time

If you don’t know by now I am a huge Nic Cage fan. Not as a joke and not because it’s “cool” but because I genuinely enjoy his acting. The guy is truly fascinating and has made some of the most interesting movies you will ever see. I am thinking about making this a running blog topic, whether it is on Nic Cage or just some of my favorite movies in general. These 18 reasons are in no particular order as they are all equally important to the cinematic masterpiece that is Con Air. Let’s dive in.

Actor Draft - Kyle

I found a picture online with the headline, “Who Would You Bring Back for 1 Final Movie?” followed by pictures of great actors who unfortunately are no longer with us. I found this picture extremely interesting and wanted to put the Going Off Topic spin on it. I came up with the idea of having a “draft” with four friends, each of them writing a blog on it, and then having each of them on the podcast for a more in-depth discussion. The following is my blog the fifth and final part in the series. Make sure to check out the other blogs and podcasts on this topic!
