Watching Something Every Week in 2026

I, Jay, am going to try to watch something every week in 2026 and post a review here. And on Letterboxd, too. My main blog is @jayslashthem

Hello Tumblr!

Merry 2026 everyone! I'm gonna try and pick this up again. One review a week, perhaps more but no promises. New tag is #jay movie review

Polyamory is safe for work. Polyamory is safe for kids. Polyamory is safe for day time tv. Polyamory isn’t more sexual than any other relationship and it can be just as romantic, sweet, and healthy.

[jay-watches-stuff]

03/02/24 - Gravity Falls S1E03 Headhunters

5/5 Stars

6/5 in my heart. The first tell to new veiwers that this show isnt afraid to go to dark places like Attempted Child Murder. Also a really funny episode. Nailed every damn joke. Perfect television.

26/01/24 - Gravity Falls S1E01 Tourist Trapped & S1E02 The Legend of the Gobblewonker

5/5 Stars

This is an incredibly biased review but I genuinely believe that Gravity Falls is the best cartoon of the 2010s and I think they nailed it within the first 2 episodes. If you haven't watched Gravity Falls please watch Gravity Falls.

Hm, i do not think the way i am going about this is stable longterm. Might pull it back to 1 mandatory movie a week and ill post reveiws for anything else i watch too. Self-care and all that.

18/01/24 - Scooby-Doo, Where Are You! S1E02 - A Clue For Scooby-Doo

4/5 Stars

While What A Night For A Knight is the series pilot, i think this episode really set the formula that all future Scooby-Doo media goes off. And, gotta say, thats pretty comendable on its own. This episode is also just plain good, so 4 stars it is.

17/01/24 - Hamtaro S1E01 - Hamtaro

3/5 Stars

Ok I haven't watched this anime since I was like 10, has Hamtaro's voice always sounded like Timmy Turner gargling nails? Anyway this was fine. It exists!

I wish hamsters were real

16/01/24 - The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie

5/5 Stars

13/01/24 - My Little Pony: A Charming Birthday

3.5/5 Stars

I love this special and will be taking no criticism on its rating. MLP G3 is the best idc if im biased.

12/01/24 - Scooby-Doo, Where Are You! S1E01 - What a Night for a Knight

4.5/5 Stars

I will not be taking constructive criticism on my rating for this one. I fucking love classic scooby-doo and this episode was really good for a pilot. Really gothic and spooky and cool.

Also btw sorry for not posting yesterday I was Super Busy.

10/01/24 - Unicorn Academy

3.5/5 Stars

I'm not the target audience for this in any shape or form but ngl this was pretty good for a film aimed at like 8-12 year olds. Songs were average, plot was kinda predictable, but hey the magic was cool! Also did not go into this expecting a dead dad to be a major plot point. But anyway, yeah. It's nice to see gen alpha has their version of barbie princess charm school.

09/01/24 - One Piece S1E1 - I'm Luffy! The Man Who's Gonna Be King of the Pirates!

5/5 Stars

My friend has been trying to get me to watch this for literal years and I finally caved and holy shit oh my god jesus christ it's amazing??? What. It's only the first episode and I'm already endeared to the stretchy man. Anyway expect more episodes of this to be reviewed on days I don't feel like sitting for like an hour.

08/01/24 - Scooby-Doo! Spooky Games

2.5/5 Stars

It's been like 5 minutes and about half of this film has already trickled out of my brain never to be seen again. I think i guessed the villain like 5 minutes in? Also is "The Olympics" a copyrighted term because they went out of their way to not say it.
