⭐ 6.0/10 (Originally written by Jona) With all the hype around this series I figured I would watch it, and you literally can’t make this stuff up if you tried. Joe Exotic might be the strangest person I’ve ever seen. The series was interesting enough to keep my watching, but the only reason it’s gotten so much attention is because the man is literally a meme.

⭐ 8.5/10 (Originally written by Jona) Wow... this was an emotional movie to watch. My heart breaks for the kids that have to go through the same experiences, and 99% probably don’t turn out well. Overall, I loved the way this was filmed. I enjoyed to flashbacks and the journey the movie portrayed.

⭐ 8.0/10 (Originally written by Jona) This book is unlike anything I’ve ever read before. Steve Dangle makes a living making content about the Toronto Maple Leafs, and in this book he shaves his life story and the journey he took to get him working at Sportsnet. From being a kid with way to much energy, to a guy doing a college radio show, to now making a YouTube video after every Leafs game, Steve has done it all. I would recommend this book to viewers of his show and podcast, or diehard Leafs fans, but if those don’t apply to you, then don’t bother reading it. It’s written in a fun way, and when I read it, I can literally picture him telling the stories in person.

⭐ 8.5/10 (Originally written by Jona) As a child I considered this to be the scariest movie I had ever seen... this is still true today haha. I love this movie and I think it blows the remake out of the water. One of Robin Williams best movies, and I love Peter turning into the monkey boy. I would recommend this film to everyone during this time of social distancing.

⭐ 8.0/10 (Originally written by Jona) After seeing the trailer for this I was dead set on seeing it because it reminded me of Coach Carter, and various other sports movies that followed the same story line. After watching it last night I had some time to think about the film as a whole and I really enjoyed it. It’s a story of a man hurting from various past traumas in his life, and how he has suppressed his pain with alcoholism... This film hit a bit harder for me as I was reminded of people in my life who are caught on in addiction, but the thing that I loved about it was that it doesn’t glamorous the recovery process or make it seem easy. It was raw and really showed how far someone has to drop before they get help... It’s a film of redemption and recovery, and a healthy reminder that recovery and redemption looks different for everyone...

⭐ 8.0/10 (Originally written by Jona) Seems like a popular film tonight. Overall I thought it was a great watch, and I enjoyed the character development. I thought the family dynamic was really funny, and I also enjoyed the well placed humour throughout the entire movie. Would recommend.

⭐ 8.0/10 (Originally written by Jona) This album randomly popped up on Spotify, and I’ve been listening to it all day. He’s got a unique style, and I feel there is a lot of depth to his lyrics. Some songs remind me of Josh Garrels, or Ben Howard, but then others have a hip-hop feel to it. Very unique, but it’s really growing on me.

⭐ 9.0/10 (Originally written by Jona) From Fruitvale Station, to Black Panther, to Just Mercy. I love the roles Michael B. Jordan chooses to play and he is hands down one of my favourite actors. It’s based on a true story, and with knowing this to be true I found myself getting upset throughout the whole film because of how unjust things were for the black community, and even how in many places it still happens today. The credits shared a statistic saying, “1 out of 9 inmates executed during this time were innocent”... just disgusting...

⭐ 8.0/10 (Originally written by Jona) A heartwarming film of a boy with down syndrome wanting to fulfilled his dream of being a wrestler, and the crazy journey he takes to get him there. Even though the ending wasn’t the best, it was still a great performance by Zack Gottsagen and Shia LaBeouf. Highly recommend.

⭐ 8.0/10 (Originally written by Jona) It took some time to get through the last quarter of the book, but overall it was a great read. A true story of redemption, perseverance, and a desire to change the world. One person's actions can make a lasting impact. It was also a healthy reminder that it doesn’t matter how far you feel from God, He can still use your gifts and passion to serve.
