Joel Swagman (Reviews / TESOL): 2022 Movie List

* I didn't watch any new movies this year

* The Jungle Book (1967)

Not much of a list is it? Well, what can I say? I've been really busy this year. (See my year in review post on the books I read in 2022 for further elaboration).

The thing with books, however, is that books can be read bit-by-bit in little 5 or 10 minute increments. If I've got 10 minutes at lunch to eat a sandwich, I can get a couple pages read.

But 120 minutes of peace and quite to watch a whole movie in the evening? Not this year!

Someday I'll get back into watching movies, but not this year.

No TV Shows to report on this year either. For the same reason.

As for Podcasts, I've only got one season of Revolutions completed this year:

* Revolutions Season 3: The French Revolution by Mike Duncan

My podcast progress has also suffered as a result of being busy. Last year I listened to a lot of podcasts while exercising every day, but I've had no time for daily exercise this past year.

That, plus, in the weeks when I've been too busy to write up and film reviews for finished books, I've used my listening time to review the book by finding the audiobook on Youtube, and listening to that in order to keep the book fresh in my mind until I found time to review it.

But I am still listening to Revolutions Podcast. Slowly working my way through it. (I'm midway through my second listening of the Haitian Revolution now.)

Also this year I listened to (and reviewed) the episodes of the Russian Revolution as they came out. I started doing this in 2021, but the episodes from 2022 are below.

* 10.81- The Revolt of the Left SRs: Hey it was worth a shot. Well, actually, probably not.

* 10.82- The House of Special Purpose: Time to tie up some loose ends.

* 10.83- Terror is Necessary: But is it though?

* 10.84- The End of The Old World: The end of WWI was a pretty big deal all things considered.

* 10.85- The German Revolution: There was a revolution in Germany. But it wasn't like the revolution in Russia

* 10.86- The Communist Soviets: All power to the Soviets!* *The Communist Party

* 10.87- Anarchy in Ukraine: Nestor Makhno thy time has come

* 10.88- The Moscow Directive: To Moscow!

* 10.89- The Collapse of the Whites: Spoiler Alert in the title.

* 10.90- The Polish-Soviet War: Why stop fighting when you can keep fighting?

* 10.91- The Battle of Warsaw: So close yet so far away.

* 10.92- Long Live the Bolsheviks Death to the Communists [Insert Spider-Man meme here]
