The Cracker Barrel thing was THIS YEAR. We have three more years of this shit. Anybody who makes it to 2028 without looking like Nosferatu will be required by the state to start a skincare brand.

I know "Die Hard" is y'all's favorite Christmas movie but there's another film that has a lot of elements of "Die Hard" PLUS a much more involved Christmas message and musings on the "invisibility" of homelessness. This Christmas, check out "Tokyo Godfathers."

WAKE UP DEAD MAN may be my favorite KNIVES OUT movie. It is wildly ambitious, with Rian Johnson using the structure & pleasures of a locked door mystery to say something about the state of faith in America right now.
That something? People should choose mercy & grace instead of rage and vengeance.

Remember: The oligarchs who control our economy and democracy seek to divide us so they can become more powerful.
They want us to turn on each other so we don't look up and see where all the wealth and power have gone.
Don't fall for it.
