From the Hail Murray to 'Minari,' the 10 best things I've watched during the pandemic Bill Goodykoontz, Arizona Republic Like so many people during the COVID-19 pandemic, I have spent a lot of time in front of my TV set. Full disclosure: I spend a lot of time in front of my TV anyway. It’s a job requirement. But I also usually spend time in movie theaters. I haven’t been inside one in more than a year. That’s also true for a lot of people. Make no mistake: The pandemic is not over. Despite that, it sure seems like some people are acting like it's on the way out. I'm not there yet, but it does seem like a shift in the fabric of things. So it's a good time to look back on the last year and how I spent it — and what I spent it on.
