I knew that “weekly” version of this wouldn’t work. Monthly is much better. There’s more to include in the roundup and it gives me a chance to actually finish some of these things, rather than a whole bunch of “in progress” or “I’m working on it” or “I’m doing my best, lay off of me!”.
Also, I’m going to keep listing the extra details in the Movies section because I like having to do the extra work on finding out who made it. It’s good for trivia purposes.
