A Man on a Mattress who Watches Movies
Spielberg Ranked: Bolstered by Bias
Three movies. All divisive. But here they are in Spielberg’s Top 20. Perhaps I’m throwing a dog a bone here, but what do I care? I like dogs. Nothing is wrong with loving what you love… however, with that said, there are very objective reasons why my favorites don’t land closer to the top.

Black Christmas (2019) feat. Fede Groff

It was one of 2019’s most divisive films. And while I most definitely dislike the movie overall, we understand from people like my guest, Fede Groff, that there’s plenty to like about it, too. Is the general blowback mostly due to misogyny, or is the anger well deserved?
