The Movies of January 2026

Let’s take a moment to appreciate the variety of viewing experiences January brought me, from the utter disappointment and exhaustion of the series finale of Stranger Things to my crying multiple times while watching Come See Me In The Good Light, which utterly emotionally wrecked me. There was no particular rhyme nor reason to my January watches, but that feels entirely right for the first month of the year. It’s a recovery month, a stuttering-into-life month after the holidays. I watched some good stuff, and I watched some utter trash. (Beyond Stranger Things, let’s call out Tron: Ares for also being terrible; at least the disappointment of A Big, Bold, Beautiful Journey was rooted in some kind of ambition that it could never hope to fulfill.) As far as first steps into the year go, I could have made worse ones.

The Comics of January 2026

I ploughed through a lot of comics in January, in no small part because I obsessed over the Superman: The Triangle Era Omnibus volumes 1 and 2, both of which I read in the month. (Between the two, that’s almost 100 comics combined.) I also revisited Rob Williams and Michael Dowling’s massively underrated series Unfollow — someone, somewhere, should adapt it for television, please — and sampled a handful of other old series to see what was going to follow my weird, obsessive Superman binge. As far as starts to the year go, it was a pretty good one, I’m not going to lie.
