Illinois Radio Personality Shares Massive List of Everything He Read & Watched in 2023

This list was a few years in the making to get that out of the way right away.

I had heard that acclaimed filmmaker Steven Soderbergh has done something like this in the past and I thought I might try it too.

Soderbergh keeps a running list of everything he watches, whether it be TV or movie, and every book he reads. At the end of the year, he publishes the list on his Soderblog to share with his fans.

If you think that sounds like a massive undertaking you aren't alone. I tried this in 2022 and fell off before the end of the year. For 2023, I was determined to give it a try again.

This time, I made it through the entire year. Looking back I watched lots of movies, read a few books (mostly comic books) but really went in on the TV.

See if you watched and read the same things I did in 2023. Movies are in BOLD, while TV is listed plainly with the corresponding season following in parentheses. and books are in italics. The dates I did the watching and listing are above each.

To qualify for the list, I need to watch a full episode of TV from start to finish, and the same goes for a movie. For books, I added if I read just a small bit.
