I wasn't planning on doing Hooptober again this year, but I started thinking about how much it helped me to get into the season when I was unemployed and depressed in 2018, even though life got wacky and I didn't finish. Now that I'm unemployed and depressed again, it kind of seems like the sensible option.

All first-time viewings. List includes unseen films from my thwarted 2018 run as a sort of unheard, unnecessary apology to myself and the world.
