| Item | Type | Year | Rating | Note |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Christopher Nolan | Movie | 2026 | ★★★★★ | An epic by modern and ancient standards. |
| Jeff Tremaine | Movie | 2026 | ★★★★☆ | A nostalgic not-quite-cash-grab that's always funny. |
| Patton Oswalt | Stand Up | 2026 | ★★★★★ | The ticketing webpage had this categorized as "Spoken Word" but despite the lack of that it was still a great performance by Patton and opener Samantha Ruddy. |
| Katie Dippold | TV Series | 2026 | ★★★★★ | A perfect blend of everything in 30-minute package -- small arcs + big arcs; comedy + horror + every genre; dynamic acting. It's got it all. |
| Michael Sarnoski | Movie | 2026 | ★★★☆☆ | Robinhood stole some of my time on earth with this one. |
| Beethoven & Dinosaur | Video Game | 2026 | ★★★★★ | Short, sweet, and exactly the type of game I enjoy these days with good art, a great soundtrack, and mercifully short runtime. |
| Mountain Dew | Sustenance | 2026 | ★★★☆☆ | A soda is nice once in a blue moon. |
| Steven Spielberg | Movie | 2026 | ★★☆☆☆ | Watching Spielberg's Disclosure Day felt very much like watching Scorsese's The Irishman |
| Kane Parsons | Movie | 2026 | ★★★★★ | Like describing a dog to somebody who has never seen one. |
