Randall’s Top 2, 2020
Remember how much 2020 sucked? Remember how it kept getting worse? Well here are some bright spots. My top 2 from media I enjoy.
Podcasts
You’re Wrong About - The series on Princess Diana got me through election season.
Spooked - Bananas ghost stories from around the world + the enchantment that is Glynn Washington.
Movies
His House - The scariest movie about Sudanese refugees in the UK. Horrifying on every level.
The Nest - Fucked up family with a fucked up horse in the fucked up 80s. Carrie Coon is queen.
Books
The Vanishing Half - a perfect book about America.
Open Book - I don’t feel like enough people are talking about how her cousin died, speaking of horses.
TV
Better Call Saul - And this was Season 5! An exquisite slow burn.
Emily in Paris - I’m sorry but season 1 of this show is legitimately great, and come to think of it, I’m not sorry.
Music
I can’t keep up with music; everything sounds like a robot or a scarecrow.
