If this awful world has room for a petty gripe: I'm blown away by the streaming success of SHE RIDES SHOTGUN. But! Streaming's "shrink the movie the moment the closing credits start" means that most viewers have no idea it's based on a novel. And I, personally, would like it better if they did know.

I did like that old Andy Rooney piece about zippers they ran instead.
