  This Was the XFL 2017

  ★★★½ Added

  Was interesting to learn about the somewhat desperate attempts to make this entertainment driven league and how some of the antics were adopted by the NFL

  Confessions of a Jumbotron Addict 2024

  ★★★★½ Watched 11 Feb 2025

  Love the Losers series by Mickey Duzyj on Netflix because it delves deep into the subtler personal conflicts that are behind athletes. Love animation style and how it adds to the story telling and especially the explicit nod to the themes around fostering connection with sports and comfort with no inhibition around expressing joy

  It's All Good 2018

  ★★★ Watched 24 Jun 2019

  Caught this at the 2019 Human Rights Film Festival in NYC and the filmmaker did a Q&A explaining that the doc is “not plot driven but rather character driven”. I did enjoy the nuance of their every day lived but often wondered about the context of many of the their conversations. I felt like it tried to capture the essence of the folks in Venezuela being affected by the political crisis but can’t say for sure not having lived there.

  Chicken for Linda! 2023

  ★★★★ Watched 09 Mar 2024

  This movie started out as a pensive commentary on relatable and heart wrenching parent/child dynamics and gradually turned into a hairbrained adventure comedy. But thoughtout the characters were compelling and the artistic style sucked you in with the free form coloring book style animations.  This story is really told in a way a child would really embrace including the dreamy song interludes.
