Irresistible (2020) Review!!

Synopsis – A Democratic strategist helps a retired veteran run for mayor in a small, conservative Midwest town.

‘Marriage Story’ and ‘Joker’ Lead 2020 Golden Globe Nominations!!!

This is a bit of double-sided news. One one hand, Russian … Continue reading ‘Russian Doll’ Renewed for Season 2 by Netflix!!!
