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

Another Round (2020)

Four high school teachers, all kind of phoning it in, get to talking about a theory that humans are born with an insufficient blood alcohol level to perform at peak capacity. The one of them who is having a particularly hard time of it, both personally and at work, decides to see what happens if he's low-level drunk all day. Turns out he's inspired and engaging, so the other three join him in the experiment.

In the week since we watched this, I've said at least a half-dozen times something like "Another Round was so good." It's original, beautifully acted, thought-provoking, funny, and stars Mads. Pretty much everything you need right there.
