The documentary “Stutz” by Jonah Hill premiered on Netflix November 14, 2022. In it, Jonah presents the life’s work of his therapist, Phil Stutz. Dr. Stutz has one rule: you are not allowed to tell yourself anything negative. You can’t put yourself through that.

The draw to HBO Max for me is the documentary “Expecting Amy.” It details her pregnancy and preparation for the 2019 Netflix comedy special “Growing.” Neatly divided into three parts that I am just now realizing were about one hour each, it is either a long documentary or short miniseries.

The abundance of precaution to slow the spread of Coronavirus has hit the entertainment industry suddenly, and hard.

I loved this show from start to finish. Imaginary Mary was one of two live action/animated hybrids from the 2016-2017 primetime broadcast television season and although neither got renewed, they both had a lot of heart. Funny, sweet, both family and antisocially oriented. What I didn’t anticipate was my heart being ripped straight out of […]
