Old Dads
I know Bill Burr is a standup but I don’t follow standup… so to me he’s that guy on a couple episodes of The Mandalorian. I gather the humor in Old Dads is based on his act… observational comedy from … Continue reading

Night of the Hunted
Besides being audacious enough to call itself Night of the Hunted (Robert Mitchum is not amused), this film has the audacity to both-sides” a brutal showdown between a right-wing conspiracy nut and a lefty Big Pharma rep. It asks who … Continue reading
