You Think You’re Disciplined? I Watched 200 New Movies/Shows This Year, Punks

My new year’s resolution for 2022 was to watch as many new movies and shows as possible to hone my skills as the Conservative Critic, open my mind to new ideas and styles in film and storytelling and to get my money’s worth out of the absurd amount of streaming subscriptions for which I currently pay. The following list is not even remotely comprehensive because I am an abysmal record keeper. But I watched and documented 200 new shows/movies (new meaning: I had never seen them not necessarily new to everyone) in 2022 and here they are:
