Well, I can tell you what movie NOT to go to. Literally read this after seeing The Materialists. This, however, is great. I get you don’t want to write about the cesspool that is politics, but sheesh is it better coming from us normies paying through the nose in rent and interest rates.

Oh man The Materialists seems ... like the only movie out that's worth considering seeing right now. It's been so nice to have some Zohran-related optimism but it feels like a very delicate flame lit on a candle where the wrong wind is just going to make it go another way? It's also so weird because MA has Good Politics and very much Establishment Good Politics but also ... can be REALLY not good, too. Like wild how then a guy like Scott Brown pops up and ends up fucking things like real health care change.
