Someone Take the Remote Away From Me

By Kathryn Tanaka

If you couldn’t tell by now, I watch a lot of television. Any free time I have is typically spent cozying up on my couch with my remote in hand looking for a new show to binge. With my avid viewership in mind, I thought, “Why not wrap up all the movies and shows I’ve watched in the big two five?”

1. House M.D.

2. Abbott Elementary

3. Miraculous Ladybug

4. Inception

5. Caught Stealing

6. The Roses

7. Wicked: For Good

8. K-Pop Demon Hunters

9. Enola Holmes

10. My Happy Marriage

11. Doctor Strange

12. Sherlock

13. Watching the Detectives

14. Batman Begins

Favorite New Actor: Cillian Murphy

After the release of Oppenheimer in 2023, I’ve begun watching a lot more movies with Murphy in it. I really loved Watching the Detectives which also starred Lucy Liu. Their dynamic was so cute and it’s a super feel good movie to watch whenever you don’t want to watch anything too emotionally taxing.

Left me the most confused: Caught Stealing (There are slight spoilers ahead!!)

Tell me why every single person except for Austin Butler’s character dies…I guess that just goes to show how ruthless the mafia is. While the message of confronting the past is important, the movie was a little too violent which ended up distracting from the lesson.

Easiest Couple To Root For: Enola and Tewkesbury

Duh!

Ragebait: My Happy Marriage

Call me corny, but I kind of like this romance anime! However, I have never yelled at my TV as much as when I do when watching this stupid show. The female lead is so gullible, I can’t believe I liked the show that much.
