Saturday Night Movie Review
It has been said that if you remember anything about the seventies, you weren’t actually there but as a teenager staring at the television set with disbelief as the original live broadcast burned itself into my brain cells, the memories are still vivid.

The moral pendulum that swings in both directions time after time was actually being influenced by a TV ...

Oh, and the leader of Canada sports the type of ironic man bun that would put any barista to shame.
The seven leaders of the free world are presented as almost petulant children and it’s funny to see them act so juvenile and ...
