Best of 2019

This was originally a Twitter thread, but I wanted to bring it into the fold of a true blog post.

With 2019 wrapping up I wanted to do some kind of best-of blog post, but I thought keeping it simple would be better. So, here’s a quick wrap-up of my 2019 favorites.

Favorite Movie

Annihilation

Alex Garland

I tried to up my movie watching this year—with help from Letterboxd!—and I heard about this movie from some folks.

This was by far my favorite movie of the year. The visuals were great, the sound/music was fantastic and the ending blew me away.

Favorite TV Series

Chernobyl

Johan Renck

This series was both parts captivating and harrowing.

The acting by Jared Harris is terrific and the producers did a great job showing the effects the Chernobyl disaster has on the Russian people, the government and the rest of the world.

Favorite Album

I’ll Explain Later

Hotel Apache

There wasn’t an album I listened to more than this one. I really enjoy the kind of pop music Hotel Apache makes and this album kept me wanting more of it.

The song “1985” just feels like summer to me.
