Here’s what I consumed in April. Let me know if you have any recommendations!
TV:
The Sympathizer
Sugar

Bluey - bonus eps
Conan O’Brien Must Go
Welcome To Wrexham season 3
X-Men ‘97 - (I mentioned this last month and only bring it up again because episodes 5 and 8 of this show are absolutely fucking chef’s kiss. Nightcrawler has always been my favorite and I feel like episode 8 finally did justice to how flipping sweet that lil German can be)
Hacks season 3
Movies:
Civil War
The Parent Trap - Lohan version. Jemma insisted I watch since I had never seen it. So many shenanigans.

Other Stuffs:
Balatro - Arnie got me curious so I picked this up and now I keep sneaking more and more runs every night.
Jemma and I are fostering 5 extremely tiny kittens and their mother. The mom is Ooh-La-La and her kits are Baguette, Bonjour, Fiancé, A’La Carte and Soupe du Jour!
I’ve been enjoying listening to the D’Arcy Carden hosted Wikihole podcast
My sister Sadieh introduced me to a fantastic newer Coffee Shop/Theater Bookstore in Chicago called The Understudy
Jemma and I are heading to Ireland in a couple weeks. If you have any tips/spots I’d love to hear them.
If you have the means I suggest donating to Palestine Children’s Relief Fund

Hey Riddiots -
We may still have a couple tickets left for our Chicago live show on Thursday July 25th. You can get tickets here: https://lh-st.com/shows/07-25-2024-hey-riddle-riddle/
For those of you who can't see us in person, stay tuned because we are working on at least one live+virtual show for this summer.
You've also probably already heard me talk about this before, but in case you haven't seen it yet, you can request that HRR come to a city near you for a future live show by filling out this form on our website: https://www.heyriddleriddle.com/request
A big thank you to the 500+ people who have already requested. And a special shout out to those of you who suggested venues!
And it's been awhile since I've had a recommendation, but I really enjoyed Shogun on Hulu. It's 10 episodes and it's only one season. And I just started playing the update to Death Must Die on Steam. It feels very much like a mix of Hades and Vampire Survivors so if either of those were your jam, you might enjoy it.
Hope you are all enjoying the spring!
