10 Most Popular 'Beyond the Balcony' Articles in 2024

In a year where my output could have been better, what became the most read pieces?

How about pieces from many years ago?

10. The Star of the Journey: This post is actually from 2024, but it is one of my 'nostalgic photos with a quick anecdote' specials. Why was this one more popular than the rest? No idea. It does reflect upon what was the start of the Spicer family theatre journey, which has become a significant part of our lives. 

9. For Those Curious About Powder Thanks to The Movie Breakdown. . . : After all this time. people still can't get enough of the 1999 classic, Powder.

8. The Great Spicy Movie Catch-Up: Ranking with Star Ratings Every 2024 Movie I've Seen: It is almost as if this high ranking is a sign I should start reviewing movies again.

7. Good-Bye Anastasia: Final Thoughts on the Musical that Consumed Our Lives the First Galf of 2024: Theatre has become a treasured part of the Spicer family, and it has conjured magic for our mental health and relationships. I'm glad that sharing this journey is something my readers are interested in.

6. Finding the Positive of 16 Years of Marriage: This is a pop culture site where most of my readers found me through my movie reviews and entertainment columns. It always humbles me to see my personal pieces attract so many readers and show me we have created a genuine connection where you care about my life. 

5. Come with the Spicers to Narnia: Yep, you're sure interested in my newest hobby. I thank you all for the amazing support. A piece about this experience will arrive this week. 

4. RIP Macho Man Randy Savage 1952 - 2011: This is the most read piece ever on my site by a massive amount. It was linked from major sites back in 2011, which is a major reason why this still ranks incredibly well in searches. Though not sure why in 2014 so many were interested in Macho Man. Am I missing a significant anniversary?

3. The Return of the Misleading but Accurate Description of Popular Movies: This is one of my favourite pieces ever to write. I'm glad that clearly two years later, there are still people who love to read it. 

2. Explaining My Four-Star Rating System: In 2018, I wrote this with some fear it was little more than naval gazing. Yet, it is becoming one of the most read pieces I've ever written. Why? My guess some folks arguing about a star rating on a movie and looking for internet validation. 

1. Disney Plus Offering Mulan for $29.99 Could Turn Out to be a Historic Event: Why is this 2020 piece the most-read piece of 2024 so far? No, seriously, I'm asking. Why? No clue.
