We're breaking our accidental 2016-streak with I Care A Lot (2020), written and directed by J Blakeson and starring Rosamund Pike and Peter Dinklage.

We watched the very American black comedy Catfight (2016), written and directed by Onur Tukel and starring Sandra Oh and Anne Heche. And, man, does this movie pack a punch (pause for laughter.)

This is the movie of all time. -ClaireThis week we watched Bottoms (2023), directed by Emma Seligman and starring Ayo Edebiri and Rachel Sennott, and, man, we liked it a lot.
