DEEP DIVE: Spirit Thanksgiving

We're so back. Don't worry, I haven't ran out of directors to focus on by a long shot, but the holiday themes are just too tempting to not pursue!

Watch at home, discuss in person. Planes, Trains, and Automobiles is overdone and it's too early for Home Alone. So for this DEEP DIVE, we're going to be looking at films that represent the spirit of Thanksgiving in some way, shape, or form. You can probably guess what they might be from the synopses. Yes, I know it's gaudy to plan a deep dive around a national holiday, but still! I think I picked films that are worth discussing, especially before the holidays.

The Stuff (Larry Cohen, 1985):

Please keep your RSVP up to date! Please let me know if you have trouble finding ANY of the films. I'll get you together. We're trying a new location just for kicks. They usually have a food truck and they have free parking.

Happy watching!
