Beth and Michelle discuss a new(er) movie this time, the 80s is so whack. It’s a rollicking fun movie filled with family intrigue and honest emotional discoveries that will keep you riveted to the screen. How is it going to rate against our standards? I think you can deduce that, dear Watson.

On a serious Note:

To demand answers and accountability for the recent death at the Robert A. Deyton facility in Lovejoy, GA, you can point listeners to Georgia Detention Watch (GDW) and their partners at El Refugio.

• Website: gadetentionwatch.org
• Action: Follow their Instagram or Twitter/X for the specific "Call to Action" scripts regarding the mid-January death.
• Direct Advocacy: Listeners can also contact the ICE Atlanta Field Office at (404) 893-1210 to demand a transparent investigation.

These cards are designed to be shown through a window or slid under a door so residents do not have to open the door to agents.

• NILC Printable Cards (PDF): nilc.org/know-your-rights-card
• Informed Immigrant "Red Cards": These include the specific legal language to invoke the 4th and 5th Amendments.

In the Twin Cities, the primary line to report "Operation Metro Surge" activity, masked agents, or raids is the Monarca Rapid Response Line.

• Hotline Number: 612-441-2881
• MIRAC (Minnesota Immigrant Rights Action Committee): They also coordinate responses. Their resource page can be found at miracmn.com/resources.

Cue the sand storm, it’s time for perhaps our coziest adventure movie, The Mummy! Beth and Michelle get comfy in the blankets for this necropolis romp full of magic and two-gun firefights and sweet, simple romance. It’s like Jewel of the Nile, without the rain, parrots and snark.

Beth and Michelle ring in the New Year with Egon, Ray, Peter and Winston. They're back! And they must save Dana's child from Vigo the Carpathian, the city from it's own negativity and themselves from a failing business. It's a movie literally about emotional goo and auld lang syne. So, dive with us into the pneumatic transit slime because it's ghost busting time. Thank you, wonderful listeners, for an amazing year in which we were able to sit with you in our blanket fort and share our thoughts about the movies that moved us. We are looking forward to continuing our time with you, sharing our quilt and emotional conversations, in the new year!
