Can we all agree it is officially THE season for binge watching movies + tv shows? Between spooky season and the holidays, the selections are grade A and the weather conditions are perfect. I never thought I’d be in a place where I wanted to watch more tv, but to be honest I don’t really spend all that much time watching movies or shows. Unless it’s date night with JJ, I usually end up writing blog posts or just working on something else in my free time.
I’m hoping to change that this season by relaxing more + catching up on some much needed entertainment. There are also several new big releases coming out that I can’t wait to watch! Here’s a quick breakdown of what’s on my watch list:
MOVIES
+ The Many Saints of Newark - If you're a fan of The Sopranos, the new film The Many Saints of Newark is probably on your radar. It's a prequel to the storyline that follows Tony Soprano as a teenager growing up in Jersey prior to becoming a mob boss. I'm sure we can all agree that it feels both nostalgic and sentimental to have Michael Gandolfini following in his father's footsteps by playing Tony. I remember clearly when James Gandolfini passed back in 2013 (Tony on The Sopranos) and it was heartbreaking. I believe HBO + the creators had originally plans prior to his death to make a film with the cast which they were never able to do without him. I love that The Many Saints of Newark is in many ways (for me at least) a tribute to both his character and his legacy. It's at the top of my fall watch list-- can't wait to see it!
+ No Time to Die - My love for Bond movies runs deep! I’ve been watching them with my dad for as long as I can remember + Daniel Craig is my favorite 007. I'm glad No Time to Die is FINALLY coming out after delays. Who is your favorite Bond?
+ Ghostbusters: Afterlife - This one looks interesting- a much more somber/series Ghostbusters film from the looks of the trailer. I’m into it!
+ Netflix Christmas - I never thought I’d jump on the Netflix Christmas movie train but they got me last year, ya'll. Sometimes you just need some cheesy romance, ya know? Hopefully there will be some good ones this year!
+ Spooky/Suspense - In the spirit of Halloween, I'm adding a few "suspensfulish" movies to the mix. I haven't figured out which ones yet though... send me yours picks?
TV SHOWS
+ The Great British Bake-off (Season 9) - Sooooooo great. I’ve been catching up on last year's season + plan to start this year's once I'm done.
+ Gilmore Girls - Right now Gilmore Girls is the top contender but I need a cute or funny show to watch. Gilmore Girls is a classic and a rewatch during the fall just feels right, ya know? I'm thinking that or Schitt's Creek but I'd also love to start something new I haven't watched before.
+ The Sopranos - JJ and I have been slowly watching our way through The Sopranos for the past few months. I think we're almost through with Season 2 now so I'm hoping we can tackle a few more seasons over these next few months. If you've watched it-- should we wait to wait The Many Saints of Newark until we're done or watch it in the middle?
