Just got back from seeing "Mickey 17" with my boys.

If you enjoy dark comedy and syfy, I highly recommend. I don't understand why I haven't heard more about this movie. Directed by Bong Joon Ho (Parasite) and stars Robert Pattison and a gloriously Trump-ish Mark Ruffalo.

It was filmed during the pandemic and makes a mockery of religious cult members wearing red baseball caps. MAGAs are going to hate this movie--if they are smart enough to catch on.

Won't go see anything with Mark Ruffalo in it. He's too much of a lefty activist.

He's also from Kenosha and was a friend of my daughter.

They said it was... intense.

If you do see Mickey 17, I'll be curious to know what you think.
