After absolutely loving the first two seasons of House of Cards, Jenn and I ventured onto the other Netflix original, Orange is the New Black. You might remember that the show made my list of shows I wanted to watch and I'm glad we finally took the plunge. With news that Season 2 was about to release Jenn and I jumped in and just recently finished Season 1.

After the dud that was Godzilla, I was ready to see a good movie. After the incredible reviews for X-Men: Days of Future Past I pushed even harder for Jenn and I to go see the movie, even if Jenn has never seen an X-Men movie before. I've been a huge fan of the franchise (especially X-Men and X-2) and was really looking forward to the cross-over between the old X-Men cast and that of the X-Men First Class. Luckily the movie did not disappoint. 

Last season I was successful in picking the winning team of Season 23 of The Amazing Race. Season 24 of The Amazing Race was an All-Stars edition which meant racers from past seasons got a chance to come back and try to do better then the last time they were on the race. 

I'm coming to find that maybe I'm growing out of the doomsday movie genre. Either that or I just haven't watched a good one in a while. On Friday (5/16) we went to go see Godzilla at the Big Newport Cinema in Fashion Island after having happy hour at Yard House. Both Jenn and i were super excited to see the movie but both of us came out of the movie scratching our heads wondering what we just wasted our time seeing.

Last summer John Oliver took the reigns for Jon Stewart on The Daily Show, while Jon went away and filmed a movie. I guess HBO was watching because Oliver really did a phenomenal job and as such was offered a weekend gig on HBO. John Oliver's new show, called Last Week Tonight launched a few weeks back and so far Jenn and I are hooked.

I've mentioned a few times how big fans Jenn and I are off The Daily Show. Its a staple in the Szerlip household and we still have not stopped laughing from the #McConnelling craze of a month ago. For some reason we started talking about it on a walk a few nights back and I just cannot stop watching these videos. So a little context. Republican Senator Mitch McConnell of Kentucky put together a new ad for his senate race.
