I’m currently being told by people on X who have never watched my stuff that I must be happy a man has been charged for burning a Koran. A good time to revisit this, which I recorded last year.
There are still surprises to be had at the movies and this is one of them. Don’t pass on seeing MISERICORDIA. www.latimes.com/entertainmen...
