I don’t know how this happened. There was a time that I would have considered myself discerning when it came to movies. An expert and connoisseur, of sorts. Then The Christmas Prince happened and it’s like I’ve developed the taste of a teenage girl when it comes to movies. But especially when it comes to…
Netflix Original movies.
I don’t know if it’s because my mind needs some mindless entertainment or what, but there’s no Netflix Original movie that I don’t love. Love to hate, in a lot of ways, but still, love. It was only earlier today as I watched The Set Up, the latest in a long line, that I realised I was obsessed.
I’ve seen them all. The Christmas movies. Then the teenage movies. The next lot of teenage movies. The Adam Sandler movies that would 100% have not ‘made it’ in the movies. Luckily the best part about these movies is that they can be watched anywhere (hello, Netflix app) and they don’t require a huge amount of concentration or effort to watch.
So, the bingeing continues.
This is me, asking you, to help me (or commiserate? Maybe that’s a thing?). I worry that given the amount of content I’m consuming that is aimed at the teenage audience, I might just regress into some description of teenage brain. If I start saying ‘as if’ you know it’s happening. Send help. And documentaries about adulty adult stuff.
Or popcorn, you could totally send popcorn. Haha.

I’ve heard great things about The Set Up! I totally get the ‘teenage non-thinky’ content thing though. Have you checked out Dynasty? It’s obvs a series not a movie but it’s the perfect trashy, non-thinky guilty pleasure viewing!

I haven’t seen it, but my girlfriend watches it and she loves it. Might have to put it on the list with all this love for it floating around.
Me too!!! Watched Ibiza the other day. Thought it would be crap but surprisingly awesome!
I started Ibiza but ended up taking a work call then not going back to it! I’ll have to put it back on my list.
