33-Word Review of “Sorry To Bother You” [NO SPOILERS]

Posted on July 19, 2018 by toddpanther

 

This year’s “Get Out”–and let’s have one of these attacking America every year!–is part “Network,” part “One Flew Over The Cuckoo’s Nest” and part “A—-l -ar-.” Political clarity meets visual hilarity.

Thank You, Anonthy Bourdain

Posted on June 8, 2018 by toddpanther

You went around the world. Showed culture. Talked to people. Listened to what they said. That’s all that supposed to be done.

Sorry that your demons caught up with you, because I would have liked to have known that more stories were coming from you.
