Hello everyone!

Here's a quick look at what you may have missed between May 24 and June 6:
🎬 Movie Reviews
I reviewed several new releases, including Backrooms and Pressure, sharing my thoughts (and a few spoilers), observations from the theater, and discussions about cinematography, acting, history, and storytelling.
🚗 The Parking Chronicles
What started as a trip to the movies turned into another encounter with a handicap parking offender who apparently believes parking lines are merely suggestions. If you've ever circled a parking lot looking for an accessible space, you'll probably appreciate this one.
❤️ My Adventures in Dating
Sometimes you're looking for seafood and good conversation...and sometimes you end up with a story involving warning messages, requests for money, and more red flags than a Formula One race.

🚩 The Recruiter Scam
Watch how a seemingly legitimate recruiter email unraveled into something very different. I walk through the warning signs and show how quickly a job opportunity can become something suspicious.
