In order for a film to be truly great, it has to have a scene involving some kind of meal at a table.

Arthur Miller's "The Death Of A Salesman" still slaying at the Tony's nearly 80 years after its Broadway debut. Maybe more relevant today than ever.

The Pink (and company) opening to the 2026 Tony Awards is absolutely freaking amazing! It was electric and exciting. Old school performances! Congrats, all!
