I am so excited! This year, for my resolution project, I’m rewatching the Star Wars franchise. I chose it because I love Star Wars, and I thought it would be fun to re-watch the movies in order of release date, with perhaps a bit more of a critical and appreciative eye than I have before.

So, is anyone else out there watching Hulu’s TV horror anthology series Into the Dark? I haven’t heard much hubbub about it, but I also feel like Hulu hasn’t been featuring it as much as they could.
