GOAT (2026)

It has been three decades since the original Space Jam made a splash in my young life (and even more so in my little brother Jeff’s life). 

Nostalgia has blinded me from finding out if that film truly holds up or not (sorry to my nephews, but the same could not be said for the 2021 sequel), but it was, at the very least, a childhood milestone. Naturally, it made me interested in practicing basketball for a bit, yet my short height was holding me back (along with a childhood friend who, while talented, loved to showboat and win over me). Perhaps had GOAT come out in my childhood, things would be different.

Chasing Summer (2026)

Within the last year or two, I was given (without much warning) the duty of helping to organize a 20th reunion for my High School graduating class (set for the fall of this year).

Honestly, it is somewhat low-key (we are all just meeting at a bar for now), but the interactions with my fellow grads of 2006 will indeed be a unique blend of fear and excitement (since I am one of those heading the whole thing, I doubt I can avoid people much when I am there). If it is anything like the reunions shown in Chasing Summer, it will be much more fear than excitement.
