TV Shows/Movies/Podcasts Mentioned:

  • Schitt’s Creek (Netflix) – I’m almost done with the first season of this one. It’s one of those sitcoms that grows on you over time. Not a drop everything and binge it now but I like it enough to keep watching.
  • Pet Semetary – Michael says this one scary but a terrible movie.
