I’m obsessed with the trend on TikTok and Instagram where users share their Ins and Outs for the year. Instead of the usual New Year Resolutions, we list positive things we hope to have more of and then outdated things that don’t bring us joy and happiness. Here’s what I have on my 2026 Ins and Outs list. 

Ins: 

• AMC A-List
• Mocktails 
• Reading the book before seeing the movie
• Closed Captions
• DVDs 
• Paper movie tickets 
• TV Show bingo boards 
• Rewatching comfort shows 
• Going to the movies by yourself 
• Watch parties with themed snacks 
• Watching while walking 
• Drive-in movies 

Outs: 

• Movie theater snack prices 
• 3-hour long specials
• Obnoxious product placements 
• Increased subscription prices 
• TV Show spoilers
• Shows that have more commercials than the actual episode footage 

Here’s to binge-watching more movies and TV in 2026! Let me know what’s on your Ins and Outs list.
