    THE
    NEVERENDING
    FILM FESTIVAL

    #120

    Thursday,
    Dec. 15, 2022

    Today at the movies — bad parenting in a small town, good gangstering in a big city, a bleak lesbo horror, a baseball tragedy, a rock’n’roll fantasy, making art and finding a home in a world that despises you, and something so awful I clicked it off before it got awful. … [read more]

  • “Oooh, fresh bagels!”

  • Peanut butter on meat
