Hi Everyone.
Times are shaky and most of us are locked in at home so i wanted to present some suggestions for things to watch and listen for.
All my suggestions should be able to be found on either Criterion Channel, Netflix, Hulu, Amazon and/or Disney+.
If you can't find it there DM me and I can likely figure out a way for you to watch it. Likely. Also to get this posted sooner than later i'm not adding my rating/commentary...just know that they are all worth watching.
With all the fear and fervor of today...here is a list to help fan the flames and to cool em down...Let me start with a focus on Frances McDormand...my favorite actor living today.
