Dooood! What the? Okay, check this out. They say the fourth of July is for fireworks and freedom, but this year it's all about films. Yep, you heard me right, folks. The U.S. turning two fifty means we're not just celebrating independence anymore. Instead of talking about the Declaration of Independence or something serious like that We're actually having a big conversation about which TV shows and movies best capture this so called American dream. I mean, if you want to celebrate America's anniversary by zoning out in front of your screen, have at it. But let’s not forget to question what exactly that 'dream' is in the first place. Duuude... What the. (sigh)
