At The Movies
Saturday Night
At 11:30pm on October 11, 1975, a ferocious troupe of young comedians and writers changed television, and culture, forever. Saturday Night is based on the true story of what happened behind the scenes in the 90 minutes leading up to the first broadcast of Saturday Night Live. Full of humor, chaos, and the magic of a revolution that almost wasn't, we count down the minutes in real time until we hear those famous words. This movie is a chaotic roller coaster from start to finish.

The Menendez Brothers (Netflix)
Serving life in prison for murdering their parents, Lyle and Erik Menendez speak out in this documentary explaining the shocking crime and ensuring trials. Supported by the testimonies of family members and forensic criminal experts in the first trial, it was established that both Lyle and Erik endured years of grooming and violence (physical, emotional and sexual) by their father, while the mother, herself lacking a moral compass, abetted the father through her passivity and silence. She was more distraught over his affairs with other women than his grotesque tampering with her own flesh and blood. Netflix allowing the brothers to do an in-depth interview about the events of not only that night but their lives prior to that was much needed. It's so refreshing to hear their voices after so many years.

Nobody Wants This (Netflix)
Follows the unexpected relationship between a rogue rabbi and an irascible, loud, agnostic woman. Kristen Bell and Adam Brody have the most amazing chemistry together. They are charming and their connection seems genuine, their banter realistic. It's rare to see a couple be so believable together from the minute they are on screen together. It touches on very relatable and relevant topics (regarding dating and dating culture) in such a realistic matter simultaneously, and doing so in a refreshingly unproblematic way.
