Something that has really kept me in a good mood during quarantine has been nostalgia. I get this feeling from reading and watching all of my favorite shows and movies that I otherwise wouldn’t have as much time to revisit. Personally, I find behind-the-scenes information about iconic film and television super interesting. For all of fellow folks that are sentimental for what was going on on the other side of the camera in 80s and 90s, this one's for you.

When I listened to the audio of Jenny Slate's essay collection, Little Weirds, a couple of months ago, I had no idea it would be so emotionally prescient.

When someone becomes a new parent, they are often overwhelmed with advice from family, friends and strangers in grocery store check-out lanes. Since giving birth three years ago, my own parenting style has faced many questions and earnest concerns. My grandmother still does not understand why my female child loves cars.

The last time I searched for “classic movies” in Netflix I got less than 40 results, and many of the available titles weren’t exactly what I’d consider cinematic masterpieces.The outcome was hardly better when I searched for foreign films. And while Netflix has a decent selection of documentaries, the majority of the offerings are Netflix productions. I say all this not to disparage Netflix but to point out that, although streaming films and TV shows has never been easier, Netflix and the other major streaming platforms are by no means comprehensive in their selections.
