Mickey 17 2025
Listen, it ain't subtle. But neither is the constant unrelenting barrage of abhorrent and nonsensical far right vomit that people keep eating up. So, for me, not an issue here. Spoonfeed away. Maybe not everything has to be too clever for it's own good in our current climate.
Hilarious, messy, and simultaneously laser-focused amid the chaos with a grounded human heart.

He's a better person.
