⚠️ Spoiler Warning: This review discusses major moments from Season 15**

I absolutely loved this season from start to finish.

After how much I enjoyed Season 14, I was excited to see where the show would go next. Somehow, Season 15 managed to be even better. It took everything that worked in the first new season and leaned into it even more.

Ten episodes just wasn't enough. By the time I reached the finale, I was already wishing there were ten more.

One thing that really stood out was how heartfelt so many of the stories were.

The episode where Hank tries to help Peggy through menopause was one of my favorites. It perfectly captures who Hank Hill is. He doesn't always understand what someone is going through, and he certainly isn't great at expressing his emotions, but he'll do everything he can to support the people he loves. Everyone deserves a Hank in their life.

The relationship between Bobby and Connie also gets some great development. Instead of pretending every relationship is perfect, the show lets them disagree, argue, and work through their problems together. That's one of the things King of the Hill has always done well. Relationships take work, and the show isn't afraid to show that.

There are plenty of great comedy moments too.

Luke Jr. is a fantastic addition, and I loved seeing Boomhauer, Bill, and Kahn team up. That group ended up being one of my favorite parts of the season, and it was especially fun seeing Kahn taken down a peg. Dale is somehow even more Dale than ever, and I mean that in the best possible way.

If I had one criticism, it's how the show handled Nancy and John Redcorn.

I wasn't a fan of suggesting that Nancy was cheating again. One of the things I appreciated about the original series was that she grew beyond that storyline. It felt like she had earned that redemption, and it showed real growth for her character.

I understand why the writers may have gone in that direction, especially since it serves as something of a farewell to John Redcorn following the passing of Jonathan Joss. Even so, I don't think it was the right choice. Unless I missed something, the only indication that Nancy was cheating again came from a reference to internet comments. Internet comments say all kinds of things, and I don't think that was enough to undo years of character development.

It's not a huge issue. It was just the one nitpick I had in an otherwise fantastic season.

Overall, Season 15 reminded me why I love King of the Hill. The humor is still there. The heart is still there. The characters still feel like real people instead of caricatures, and that's something very few sitcoms can pull off after all these years.

I'm already ready for more. Ten episodes flew by, and now I'm just sitting here hoping we don't have to wait long for Season 16.

Rating: Worth a Watch

I went into Roofman not knowing much beyond the basic premise: a guy robs McDonald's restaurants by drilling through the roof, escapes prison, and hides inside a Toys "R" Us. It's such a bizarre true story that I was immediately interested.

The movie ended up being a lot more charming than I expected.

Channing Tatum carries the film. He's just an incredibly likable actor, and I found myself rooting for Jeffrey Manchester more than I probably should have. Several times throughout the movie I had to remind myself, "This isn't a good dude." He's stealing from people, holding employees hostage, lying to everyone around him, and constantly making selfish decisions. But Tatum brings so much warmth to the role that it's easy to get caught up in wanting things to work out for him.

That's probably the movie's greatest strength—and maybe its biggest challenge. It humanizes Jeffrey without pretending he was a hero.

Kirsten Dunst is excellent as Leigh. She's been showing up in movies and TV for what feels like forever. I still remember first seeing her in Bring It On back when I was in middle school, and she's continued to be one of those actors who always seems to elevate whatever she's in.

Juno Temple has a relatively small role, but she's always fun to see. I really became a fan of hers after Fargo, where she absolutely crushed it.

Jimmy O. Yang also pops up briefly, and I'm always happy to see him. Between Silicon Valley and his stand-up comedy, he's become one of those actors whose appearance immediately makes me smile.

Peter Dinklage is fantastic as the Toys "R" Us manager. His character walks the line between being frustrating and oddly entertaining, and Dinklage makes the most of every scene he's gets.

What surprised me most is how funny the movie is. Even with the serious subject matter, it balances the comedy and drama well enough that it never feels like it's making light of Jeffrey's crimes. Instead, it focuses on the absurdity of the situations he finds himself in while still reminding the audience that his actions have consequences.

If you're expecting a high-octane heist movie, this isn't really that. It's more of a character-driven crime comedy with a surprisingly big heart. Knowing it's based on a real story only makes some of the stranger moments even more enjoyable.

Overall, I had a good time with Roofman. It made me laugh, had a strong cast, and kept me engaged from beginning to end. It's not a movie I'll probably revisit often, but it's absolutely worth watching if you're looking for something a little different.
