What did you watch?

NO HARD FEELINGS on the Hulus. A comedy starring Jennifer Lawrence as an Uber
driver struggling to pay off the taxes on her Montauk home, which have
skyrocketed due to gentrification. She responds to an ad from a set of
richie-rich helicopter parents (Matthew Broderick is the dad) who are
concerned about their introvert son and want to hire a girl on the sly to date
him and relieve him of his virginity to bring him out of his shell before he
goes off to college. Typical rom-com silliness ensues. As you can probably
guess, this was not my viewing choice for the evening. The blame lies with the
girlfriend for this one.

I will note that I was surprised with the full frontal (and dorsal) nekkid
nudity of Jennifer Lawrence in the skinny-dipping scene. And it wasn't just
some fleeting glimpse. It was "behold, here I am, completely nekkid" nudity,
which the internet assures me was not CGI or a body double.

OUT COME THE WOLVES on the Hulus. Missy Peregrym and her writer fiancé meet a
Friend from her childhood at a cabin in the woods. The writer is doing a piece
on hunting and wants to learn the ins and outs for his article. Things become
tense when he finds out the Missy and Friend slept together once when they
were teens and jealousy ensues. The next day, while out on the hunt, writer
and Friend are surrounded and attacked by a pack of wolves. Writer is badly
mauled. Friend leaves him to die and goes back to the cabin. Missy is
understandably not cool with this and grabs her gear and goes out to find her
man. Woman against nature ensues.
