My husband is a huge Witcher fan, so that’s exciting that a short series will start next week. I want to see A Man Called Otto, but will wait until it streams. Nice post again, Jodie!

I always enjoy these Monday posts!
Fun fact about A Man Called Otto. It filmed in the city where I live, and one of my friends is a “featured extra” who gets some screen time with Tom Hanks!
