I use the Watch TCM app. The selection is limited and rotates constantly (it keeps films for a week after they air on the network), but there’s always something I want to watch.

Animatronic babies are creepy, but parents who pimp out their days-old preemie baby (or babies, as they’re usually twins/triplets) for Hollywood glamour/cash are way creepier.

For something that seems so intent on being American, the pun in the title relies on the British pronunciation of the word “leisure.”

Not to mention the sizable populations of Africans who practice Islam or traditional religions and DGAF about Christmas anyway.

Well, if their offices were in NYC, they might catch liberalism.

It worked for Pravda!

It’s a nickname for Paul McCartney that’s been used for decades. Macca = M(a)cCa(rtney)

“Dated” is a good way of putting it - that was what I had in mind when comparing it with “Do They Know It’s Christmas?” above. Even if you like those songs, they belong to a specific cultural moment. The fact that they’re still mindlessly piped into malls decades later merely because they have the word “Christmas” in

I actually non-ironically love “Wonderful Christmastime” and listen to it year-round. “Happy Xmas (War is Over)” — the proper name of John Lennon song you reference above — is abominable, though, as is the similarly-themed “Do They Know It’s Christmas?” Just because a song mentions Christmas doesn’t make it a holiday

So you're saying that this movie gave you … memory loss?

Sorry to be "that guy," but Bruno is actually Jo's grandfather, not his father.

Trumpet: Australian for saxophone

"Un" is Italian for "a" and "il" is Italian for "the," so they're basically the same.

… says the costar of The Private Lives of Elizabeth and Essex.

That's OK, you can still use your colon.

Well, the mix is called "Excelsior," which is the New York state motto.

Joe Jackson's "Sunday Papers" is a bit of a left-field choice. It doesn't even mention New York!

Sure, but when is "Givin' Em What They Love" coming back to The Electric Lady? The song used to be up there - it was only taken down after Prince died.
