Music Video Breakdown: Candy by Mandy Moore

A little bit ago I was up in Kansas City hanging out with Spencer and James (friends of the pod). I was staying at James’ house and his daughter was requesting music that we could all dance to. We ended up getting to Candy by Mandy Moore with the music video playing and I had to stop dancing to watch this masterpiece. This is by no means an original idea but after watching the music video I immediately thought about starting a blog series. Welcome to the first Music Video Breakdown featuring Candy by Mandy Moore.

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.
