Movies of the Month officially launched in July 2026, but we wanted to dedicate this June edition to the memory of our dear friend Chris Boudreau, who was going to be a contributor for Movies of the Month before his unexpected passing last month.
Nasha found some of his reviews on Letterboxd and added them to the site. He was a great writer and a great friend. We miss him.
– Kyle & Nasha, Creators of Movies of the Month
