See notes for lots and lots of thoughts! Expect bonus choices to beef up to 52 weekly choices, or up to approximately 60 in total, especially if I decide to bring forward from Summer to the week I've assigned it for, either because I wanted to, or due to last minute streaming unavailability, even though I still found ways to watch my first choice.

But anyway, I'm looking forward to beginning another year after the last, utterly wonderful year I've had with these same co-hosts, Wade, 𝖘𝖊𝖙𝖍𝖊𝖓𝖘𝖙𝖊𝖎𝖓 and Adam.

Top choices will be on the first 33 slots, second to third choices etc, will be filling the remaining 19-27 slots. Plus, the hosts are inviting us to add any other choices to each week's viewing, so expect some of these (up to 60) choices to be added concurrently.
