'Ink and Paint' was where many of the women artists at the Disney studio started. I'm happy to still see it around in some form.

Just watched the new Knives Out and I think it's really important you know that the scene in the Seminary's Gym is filmed in the same place Rick Astley filmed the music video for Never Gonna Give You Up.
I saw the window tracery and immediately made my friends pause the film so I could tell them.

I have never seen anything like THE PERFECT NEIGHBOR (Netflix) before. It’s a documentary about a racist woman who shoots her neighboor, all told through police body cam footage. It won best directing (US doc) at Sundance and it’s clear why. I highly recommend it!
