Previous Watches: 01–03 | 04–06
Watch 07: Tequila!
If not obvious by now, I’m an absolute sucker for a buddy comedy, and this one nails it. A super fun watch.
Favorite Scene: …when Shoshena (Steffan’s character) gets razzed for that jacket.
Biggest Nitpick: …that it was only a movie and not a full series. Would come back to watch that duo again and again.

Watch 08: Shango
A smattering of unique visuals connected by (intentionally?) discomforting character choices.
Favorite Scene: …probably the early shootout, with the wagon of hay.
Biggest Nitpick: Shango seriously just willingly hands his gun away?

Watch 09: Compañeros
This one had come highly recommended, so I had been saving it; and it surpassed even those expectations. My favorite so far, by far.
Favorite Scene: It’s gotta be when they finally come back around to the standoff the movie had opened with. Now, you fully care about the characters, and seeing the way it plays out is so rewarding.
Biggest Nitpick: I kind of wanted the earpieace henchman to have more screen time, but I might love that character design decision so much just because it’s on such a minor character.
