Hello everybody welcome to another first-run bald movies we've got a treat

tonight Jim and I went to the cinema to see a film the cinema even called a

beautiful day in the neighborhood.

It's directed by Mary L Heller, who directed a diary of a teenage girl,

and also, can you ever forgive me?

That, uh, oh shoot, is Melissa Hartman? No. that the Melissa McCarthy film

the Melissa McCarthy film and it's the Melissa McCarthy film and it's been on that's been on my

HBO watch list for a while.

I kind of was tempering my expectation

because I was really excited about this

because last year I saw that Fred Rogers documentary,

Won't You Be My Neighbor?

And I read this article about around that time that the article that this film is based on and then I started hearing things like oh

There's only like 20 minutes of Fred Rogers in it and it's really not about him so much as about this journalist and his story.

So I'm like, okay, well I'm going to dial back because I thought this is more of a biopick.

I left the movie very pleasantly surprised. I've found this a very emotionally effective and

Just just in a really I made a pretty amazing film. What do you think? I wasn't pleasantly surprised but I was pleased. Yeah I mean I love

this movie I think it's great. This is this kind of movie that if you're estranged from

your parents perhaps makes you want to call them up and say hey yeah no we fix this

whole situation you know yeah I totally get that vibe yeah and it is

disarming I definitely want to talk about that, but also there's a lot like watching Mr. Rogers itself.

There's a few things where the film started doing a particular thing, and I'm like, there's no fucking way this is going to work
