Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah, joyous Festivus for the rest of youse, and all the other holidays! It\\u2019s the final Spoilerpiece of the year with three movies to check out after you\'ve opened presents\\u2026or three movies you can see to hide out from the peeps you don\\u2019t want to see. We make no judgments; live your life. First, it\\u2019s HONEY BOY (2:34) starring (and written by!) Shia LaBeouf. He plays a version of his own abusive father! WHAT! Next it\\u2019s A HIDDEN LIFE (14:17), Terrence Malick\\u2019s latest, and his first movie with something resembling a story since THE NEW WORLD in 2005 (or THE TREE OF LIFE in 2011 depending on your point of view). Finally, everyone saw Great Gerwig\\u2019s adaptation of LITTLE WOMEN (28:05), and it\\u2019s a wonderful way to end the year - a sort-of Christmas movie on a sort-of Christmas episode. See you in 2020, everyone!
