Inspired by Automated media diet, I am going to start posting backdated “media diet” posts here. (I might move these to brie.dev over time.)
I watched 18h 57m of movies and 25h 38m of TV shows, a total of 44h 35m:
🎬 Movies
- Den of Thieves (2018) – ⭐️ 5/10
- Juror #2 (2024) – ⭐️ 3/10
- Den of Thieves 2: Pantera (2025) – ⭐️ 3/10
- 🍿 I saw this in theaters.
- Waterworld (1995) – ⭐️ 7/10
- London Has Fallen (2016) – ⭐️ 3/10
- The Accountant (2016) – ⭐️ 8/10
- Star Trek (2009) – ⭐️ 9/10
- Red Rooms (2023)
- Not all indie films are charming. This was the most memorable of the movies from January. Setting the massive content warnings aside, I did enjoy the character study and the way this was shot. I was very curious to know what would happen as I watched.
- Star Trek Into Darkness (2013) – ⭐️ 8/10
This represents a good split between new movies and rewatching films I’ve seen before.
📺 TV Shows
- Superstore – S02E10, S03 partial (4 episodes with 1h 24m)
- Seinfeld – S05E21 (1 episodes with 22m)
- Blockbuster – Miniseries (1 episodes with 27m)
- American Auto – Miniseries (1 episodes with 21m)
- Tacoma FD – Miniseries (1 episodes with 25m)
- The Good Cop – Miniseries (1 episodes with 46m)
- Dune: Prophecy – Miniseries (1 episodes with 1h 6m)
- SAKAMOTO DAYS – S01 to S01E02 (2 episodes with 48m)
- Detroiters – S01, S02 partial (18 episodes with 7h 30m)
- Loot – S01 to S01E04 (4 episodes with 1h 51m)
- I really wanted to like this show because of the cast. I gave it many chances.
- Brooklyn Nine-Nine – S04E05 (1 episodes with 21m)
- Tires – S01 partial (5 episodes with 1h 46m)
- Arrested Development – S01 to S01E18 (17 episodes with 6h 16m)
- Shrinking – S01 to S01E04 (4 episodes with 2h 15m)
- I really liked Shrinking. Jason Segel and Harrison Ford nail their characters. The show was my introduction to Jessica Williams (1/2 of 2 Dope Queens and a correspondent for The Daily Show). The show is a touch formulaic and predictable at times but it was totally worth the watch!
🎧 Music
