From Emily: Some strong weekend leisure options – In addition to the plain, White Lotus Season 3, (I haven’t began but) I flew by and couldn’t cease fascinated about Apple Cider Vinegar. I bear in mind each circumstances (fictionalized for TV however positively primarily based on true story) – one influencer who faked mind most cancers and have become a wellness influencer, and one other who selected different medication (and in addition turned a wellness influencer). It was the 2010s and it was (and nonetheless is) a wild experience on this business – however BOY is that this present exhausting to cease fascinated about. TW: it’s a lot about most cancers and may be unsettling so watch out if that feels too near dwelling. The performing, directing, writing – it’s all so good. I discovered it thought frightening – particularly since I’m such a sucker for the newest “snake oil” that the wellness business is making an attempt to push on me and the psychology about fictionalized problems (wild stuff). I actually simply couldn’t cease fascinated about this present (and extremely entertaining).
However extra importantly, if you happen to haven’t seen In The Heights, would possibly I recommend a strong watch? We’re large Lin Manuel Miranda followers over right here (Encanto, Moana, and naturally, Hamilton) and his 2021 film primarily based on his Tony Profitable play set in Washington Heights throughout 2001 is so freaking good. We watched it just a few occasions throughout lockdown however simply rewatched with the children and I used to be reminded how good it’s (up there with Paddington 2 and Wonka IMHO). The music is unimaginable, clearly, the story is so good, the performing is superior (so many Hamilton cameos!) it’s culturally necessary AND the directing/producing simply appears like a implausible large efficiency. The lyrics transfer quick (like all his work) so be happy to place subtitles on to assist comply with. So in case you are in search of a household pleasant musical film to look at this weekend, watch In The Heights (our children are 9 and 11 and it has some cursing and a few suggesting stuff, however general we felt it was completely acceptable – and heck, they watched it at 6 and eight and liked it then).
