    We may need to find another way of breaking this tie since anyone who's going to vote on this category likely already has. If no one votes, should we try a ranked ballot?
    Just because...
    The Fabelmans (Steven Spielberg, 2022) mild
    Petite maman (Céline Sciamma, 2021) mild
    The Banshees of Inisherin (Martin McDonagh, 2022) mild

    The last book I read was...
    The Complete Short Stories by Mark Twain


    The (New) World

    I can't wait to watch Cold War in two years when it hits Hulu or some streaming service I am paying for.

    The Favorite was great. I'll get to Roma maybe next week.

    If I recall correctly, it was funded by Amazon so it should be on Prime pretty soon, if it's not already.
