The holidays are here, and we’re feeling kind of conflicted about it, honestly. COVID precautions (and basic common sense and decency) mean Zoom calls and mailed gifts instead of in-person fun with family and friends. A solid 10 months of isolation and binge-watching has depleted our collective tolerance for rewatching the same movies yet again. And even the bittersweet pleasures afforded by the time-honored tradition of checking out the annual crop of indifferent Christmas movie releases during frenzied shopping breaks is gone, with our movie theater refuges still dark and cold.
