Assistant band director Dr. Bert Groover has been watching home renovation films.
In these shows, people will find homes that are in dire need to be fixed. They will buy the houses and put in a certain amount of money depending on the budget and document their journey of fixing and selling these houses.
A couple of the most well known home renovation shows include “Fixer Upper” and “Property Brothers.” Some of the actresses include Chip Gaines, Joana Gaines, Drew Scott, and Jonathon Scott.
What did you enjoy about this film/series?
“I like all of the design ideas,” Groover said. “Working around something to get the same look and appeal for like half the price.”
What motivated you to watch this film/series?
“It gives me ideas for my own house,” Groover said, “It is like my side hobby.”
What was the most memorable part of this film/series?
“Probably the budgets because I think they’re obscene. The people are like, ‘Ohh, they have $250,000 to renovate our house’,” Groover said. “That isn’t my house. I don’t have that budget.”
How is this film/series different from others that you have watched?
“They aren’t based on fiction or any other thing. They are based on reality and something I can actually apply to my life,” Groover said.
What other films similar to this one would you recommend?
“I don’t know if I would recommend home fix shows to most people or teenagers at least,” Groover said, “Honestly, I’m a big fan of Jason Statham action movies, because those are always fun.”
These shows can be viewed on HBO Max, Hulu, and Discovery+.
