 I thought it would be fun to go on Buzzfeed and complete one of their many quizzes. This time I chose one where everyone votes on whether they prefer the original movie or its sequel. I was surprised by some results but for the most part I think I was vindicated! There's a lot you can say about a sequel to a movie, but for me I mostly say, No Thank You! See if you agree with my votes, and if you have some I didn't mention, share them! Listen to past episodes here: https://www.statementsofopinion.com/episodes

Happy New Year! Welcome to 2023! A year has passed by so fast, but now it's time to look forward to what is coming.

Speaking of topics, hopefully you'll enjoy what I've planned, as well as whatever I haven't planned and just ends up being talked about! Let's ring in the new year!!

 So recently, WNBA star Brittney Griner was released from a Russian prison after being held for 9-10 months. She was exchanged in a prisoner swap for a notorious arms dealer. Now the whole situation has me asking questions? I mean, is this all really a big deal? Or is it just an example of someone being released from prison, which happens everyday here in the U.S. In this episode I talk about some of the things in this story that have me scratching my head. Maybe you'll agree, maybe you won't. But I bet you'll have an opinion!

So this past weekend I attended the Pax Unplugged convention. I was all about tabletop games, hence the unplugged. I have never been to one of these, and I have to say I was impressed! And really, whats better than walking down aisle after aisle of games! It was like the good ol' days of Toys R Us (I feel a tear forming). Sit back and relax while I tell you all about my experience. Then drop a comment and let me know if you've ever been to Pax Unplugged yourself! Want to catch up on all of my episodes? Click here: https://www.statementsofopinion.com/episodes

I have a new pet peeve-the U.S. Postal Service! So over the last few years it seems that we receive our mail less often, packages and letters go missing, and a general mess is left in our mailrooms? If you can relate then this episode is for you! There doesn't seem to be a reason, other than the worker shortages of the pandemic in general, but it's still getting on my nerves. Listen in and see if you agree! Have you missed an episode? You can find them all here: https://www.statementsofopinion.com/episodes

 Millions of people are subscribing to streaming services in order to cut ties with more expensive cable and satellite TV.  Only, now streaming services have begun to increase their prices as well. The difference is that we are not necessarily getting more bang for our bucks. Listen in on this episode and see if you think that streaming services pricing is getting out of hand!

It seems like these days more and more people can't help but behave badly. Especially on airplanes! Now we all know that we should display a certain etiquette when flying, and that includes sitting in your assigned seats. Except, for some people it seems that they feel entitled to sit in YOUR seat! In this episode I talk about the attitude that some people give off on airplanes when you refuse to switch seats with them. You may have encountered this very scenario yourself! Listen in and let me know how you feel about this type of airplane etiquette. Listen to past episodes here: https://www.statementsofopinion.com/episodes

There is an ongoing trend in Hollywood to remake successful movies from years past. Sometimes this turns out to be a surefire hit, others a total bomb. It happens with TV shows as well. Is there a problem in Hollywood, where no one has any original ideas anymore? I have to question why some of these movies were made in the first place. As the old saying goes, if it ain't broken, don't fix it! Well, if they weren't broken before, more often than not they certainly end up that way! Listen in and see if you agree with me!

This week I decided to treat you all with a little, and I do mean little, Q and A. But since I thought of it last minute and didn't get any of your questions, it's just mine! Don't worry, if you really want to ask me something, I'll do another longer version! So in the meantime, enjoy this shallow dive! Have you missed other episodes?
