Argh. “You know what will happen - why do you do this to yourself? You must not open the door and leave,” are their words.

Quick note: I wrote this in December I think as a way of dealing with some mental health stuff. About halfway through I realised I could use the prompt for the challenge about not opening the door - ha! As it was always about a shut-in so seemed fitting. After writing over 1000 words I realised the prompt was for a micro fiction. Alas, I retained the use of the prompt throughout!

10) Little Shop of Horrors - Dir. Frank Oz. 4.5 🌟 out of 5 This comedy-horror-musical from 1986 was a blast to see on the big screen with a packed audience, which really made it an experience with both fans’ and newbies’ audible reactions. While this film is from the 80s and I’ve seen it many times before, it was still a highlight of the year! They even screened the director’s cut versus the original ‘happy ending’. I’ve placed it in tenth place as it’s a retrospective.
This is a previously unpublished review from 2018. “Make Happy” (2016) is Bo Burnham's comedy special streaming on Netflix. After recently seeing the humorous doco-style drama "Eighth Grade" (2018) which he both wrote and directed, I found out that Bo Burnham is also a stand-up comic/musician. "Make Happy" is by turns darkly jovial and intellectual & existential, yet certainly not for all tastes.
