10 Things – SHANG-CHI and the Legend of the 10 Rings
I enjoyed the Kaiju and "Fantastic Beast" aspects (except maybe the thing with no face, Morris, was pandering a little too hard to the younger demographic).

I just never got it together to either go for the day, or commute a few days, spend on accommodations or impose on an acquaintance. The great thing is this year I don't have to do any of that, God do I love these Virtual Film Festivals, it just feeds the introvert in me! #TribecaAtHome
