Time spent watching films, even crappy ones, is time well-spent.

Bombshell (2019)

This had the vibe of "The Big Short" with up-front narration and visual aids to help tell the story. But, ultimately, this is old news that doesn't feel nearly as impactful as it might've before Trump became president. At this point -- with Kavanaugh and Epstein being more recent/sensational stories -- this feels dated almost to the point of quaintness. Yes, it's terrible. But we're at "terrible overload" by now.

The most impressive thing about this film was Theron's makeup. I kept forgetting it was Charlize under there.
