Over the course of four meetings in an anonymous-looking hotel room, the two embark on an unlikely ally-ship, with Nancy eventually discovering, like Dorothy in Oz, that when it comes to fulfillment — sexual or otherwise — there’s no place like home.
What happens in this movie is a seismic shift that feels personal but also generational: Leo is an avatar of a generation known for questioning conventional ideas about gender roles, binary identities and patriarchal power dynamics.

It was surprising a shirtless Clint Eastwood wasn’t acting in this movie.

Is there a cut off point? No, really, I'm serious, and if it's not just about a women's body image but also men. I just don't know when to say I'm sexy enough...LOL! I'm to sexy for ______ (fill it in).
CBS Colbert crew breached the Capitol under the direction of Adam Schiff! Insurrectionists! Are they in solitary confinement? Are we going to have June 15th Hearings? Did Joe Biden direct them to storm the Capitol? Will Schiff be arrested or persecuted like Laudermilk?
