The entire show is about whether or not a grade school student killed a classmate.
I would never want to watch that, but this one was so good in such a moment, I had to, and I loved it.
I'm curious, as a parent of a son and soon to be two sons, what was your biggest takeaway from the show?
I'm very curious.
Because no one goes anymore.
Very surprising stat.
Most Americans only go to the movies a little bit less than once a year.
I don't know if you mentioned it.
I blame COVID lockdown.
Well, and we've reached this weird spot where.
where mid-tier movies, movies for adults, they just don't hit anymore.
You have to have a big franchise, big IP, or a kid's movie to really dominate.
The only outliers this year were horror films like Sinners and Weapons, both of which I loved.
It's a race movie.
And it's a Michael B. Jordan movie.
