Original Summary

Wanted to share something that I have been laboring over. One of many ways that our household connects is through TV and Movies. My wife and I have several shows we watch in the evening together. Movie night with the kids is a common occurrence on the weekend. Sometimes, the hard part is finding something to watch. At dinner with friends one evening, I recognized that our conversation at some point had evolved to an exchange of shows or documentaries that we had seen recently.
