Finding this little gem of a film and must comment
I re-watched the original "The Craft" movie and decided to watch the 2020 remake, "The Craft: Legacy". What a treat. Woke before its time. I said to my wife, "who's that ugly linebacker in the coven?", not knowing the actor was a trans anyhow.
To be honest, discovering the trans actor coupled with a sad, old, out of place David Duchovny, I somewhat forgot about all the other propaganda stuffed in this movie, but it is there. We can use this movie in our documentary, "the evolution of wokeness". That would be fun.

M3gan 2.0 action!
We didn't notice much, if any, propaganda in M3gan 2.0, but the vibe sure changed from the first: less blood, more action. It's worth a watch. I enjoyed the first film but I don't think my wife liked it much and 2.0 is about what you'd expect from a sequel like this.

On killing the dog
I'd like to put it out there that directors who can't come up with better ideas than to murder dogs in their films should they themselves be taken out of society.

Hey Kids, We Can't All Be Influncers
Aside from the horrible, tone-deaf acting and Gen-Z narrative ("I'm a content creator") and what first I assumed to be her roommate, likely lover's desire to go back in time to re-kindle a lesbo affair she missed out on, what's not to love about Through the Door? Who knows. I hit stop on this bad boy 10 minutes in.

Mickey 17 is just as subtle as Trump
I mean, I'm by no means a fan of the orange man, but do we need to create unfunny parody films with the absolute douche Mark Ruffalo leading the charge? Do we need a movie to tell me how to think? How about one with yet another, tooth-gapped mixed couple happy and in love? I give up. This movie is absolute Hollywood cringe at its finest.

Well, at least it took a while.
I try extra hard to avoid all these shows, the modern binge-type show with mild to excessive liberal propaganda, but ended up watching The Pitt regardless. It's actually a good show. I'd even rate it higher if not for the inevitable late-in-the-season wokeness where we see gay men, of course, mixed, with their surrogate in the story. And I really want to just ask, why? Is there a reason we have to go all in on this stuff? Ugh.

Not too terrible. A fun watch. Kind of.
I understand Anya Taylor-Joy is 5'8" and looks to be about 40kg, so she really can't be slugging around huge guns and fighting monsters, but that doesn't count much in this film. So, no woke. No extraterrestrial love affairs, no crying rooms or apologies. The Gorge is somewhat a fun film.
The only issue is that it starts out with a super cool premise, but kind of falls apart in the middle and esp. the end. The story goes in a few different directions and I wasn't really too interested in the new plot turns. Is it wrong to say I think Anya Taylor-Joy is sexy? And she's cool in this film too. Worth a watch.

Surprisingly, not so bad
I went into this film thinking it might be kind of a cringy cop or FBI movie, just in general I guess. Rami is super cool, I've always like him in films. Turns out, it's an interesting if not all that groundbreaking plot, the story moves along well enough and it's quite fun. I can't say for sure if there were any lead FBI peeps or even the president of the United States of America as Native American Indian women or that nonsense. There might have been and it's been a while since I watched The Amateur, but I'll give it a woke-free pass.

Another Wes Anderson film about kind of nothing (if that's new)
I find myself a kind of Wes Anderson fan. Life Aquatic actually grew on me after a second viewing. Rushmore and Moonrise Kingdom were super fun. This movie doesn't have an agenda. To be honest, I'm not even sure if Wes Anderson is interested in woke ideology. Anyway, as far as that nonsense goes, it's great. The story isn't engaging, though, and there's quite a bit of Wes Anderson trope to be found.

Sneaks it in at the end. Or, so to speak.
If not for my wife, how would I ever know about these shows? I sat through an episode or two of the first season and kind of enjoyed it. Fast forward a few days of my wife binge watching and, poof, one of the main characters is now a gay. He rolls around in bed with some other dude and basically does gay things. How did he become gay? Was he hit by lightning? A bus? Who the hell knows.
I did notice a ton of sophomoric toilet humor that would really appeal to the thirteen year old in me, except I'm no longer that age. My wife noticed tons of penis scenes too but, lucky, I missed them. Does anyone want to see that? I know women have been running around naked in films for years, but let's face it, they kind of look a lot better than a dude with his junk hanging all out.
