The holiday season is in full swing and we’re bursting with joy for:
* Whether Frequent Podcast Guest Katherine is still vaping (watch to find out)
* N*zz* Watch pt. 1,000,000,000
* Trump took the brain test for people with dementia three times. Seems fine!
* The Warner Bros. acquisition by either Netflix or Paramount, both of which are outcomes that are definitely good
* Important digressions about: the birds, the cosmos, watching an eclipse on Fifth Avenue, the black licorice effect of Felicity Jones, the WGA screener app, and misspelling your own name
This week’s cultural recommendations:
* Jack recommends the 4K restoration of Stanley Donen’s Charade at Film Forum (playing through Dec. 18); also available through the Criterion Collection and on YouTube
* Katherine recommends rewatching the medical drama House
* Aleks recommends Mary Bronstein’s If I Had Legs I’d Kick You
