Favorite Media of 2022
Tangentially related to my Enjoyment Roundups, I thought it’d be fun to go through various media I most enjoyed this past year.
Films

Having a kid really changes your media habits, not to mention the whole ongoing global pandemic thing. So I didn’t get out to ye olde cineplex as much as I have in the past.

If you listen to the podcast Wonderful, you’ve heard Griffin McElroy say that this may be the best year of television in recent memory — and I’m inclined to agree.
