Today we'll talk about two of the most anticipated series/season finales, The Undoing and Fargo, and the controversial new Netflix movie with Hillbilly Elegy starring Amy Adams and Glenn Close.
But first, Thanksgiving!
We cooked a lot. We ate a lot, and we watched a lot of movies! Half of our feast is currently in the freezer and may make a comeback at Christmas. But, while you can overcook and you can overeat, you can never get enough good movies!
We did watch one over the Thanksgiving weekend that we hadn't seen before, Knives Out. We give it our seal of approval. If you haven't seen it yet, check it out for free on Prime.
The Finales
The Undoing Hear what we had to say on the show. I don't even wanna write any more about it!!
Fargo A much more satisfying ending with lots of comedy, tragedy, and murderers that made sense! Big kudos to Noah Hawley and the entire cast. Fargo does it again! Here are some of our fav death scenes.

And then of course...
The most bittersweet Easter egg ending.
Fun Fact!
Glynn Turman, who played Doctor Senator, has had a long and illustrious career. But there was one thing we didn't know! He was married to Aretha Franklin! He even co-wrote with Franklin the song 'I'm Your Speed,' which appeared on her "Almighty Fire" album.
Big love to Noah Hawley
Besides being the writer behind the upcoming Untitled Star Trek Sequel and Cat's Cradle, he wrote Legion, My Generation, The Unusuals, which he also created along with Fargo, he was Executive Story Editor and then a writer for the TV hit Bones.
Oh, and he writes books! (see our website)
