I'm looking at doing a double feature of Al Jazeera's The Night Won’t End: Biden’s War on Gaza, which I'm hoping will be something I can push on the maddening collection of people in my life who agree that Biden is committing genocide but think they have to vote for him anyway,

and Satyajit Ray's The Adversary:

Siddhartha (Dhritiman Chatterjee) is forced to discontinue his medical studies due to the unexpected death of his father. He has to now find a job instead. In one job interview, he is asked to name the most significant world event in the last ten years. His reply is 'the plain human courage shown by the people of Vietnam', instead of the expected: man landing on the Moon. The interviewer asks if he is a communist. Needless to say, he does not get the job.

      Starting off in a good position, since there won't be a studio audience.

    I've been watching Reservation Dogs, and I highly recommend it! Great show that tackles heavy matters like poverty, the way it affects people who live in it, and contemporary American Indian life/culture. It's also got Taika Waititi's signature brand of humor, which is nice to balance out the heavy themes and problems which characters face. The main cast is good, but I think my favorites are some of the recurring supporting characters. There's an ancestral spirit warrior who appears as a vision for some characters played by Dallas Goldentooth, and his entire character and performance are just one of the funniest things I've seen this year.
