Wildcat: Flannery for Rookies
Flannery O’Connor is considered one of the greatest Catholic writers of all time, but most people, when asked about her, make a face. The new movie Wildcat is provocative enough to drive a new audience to her strangely redemptive stories.

Our Elites will likely follow their playbook of “ask, then demand” compliance for central bank digital currencies (CBDCs).
Nefarious Is…
Nefarious is not a horror movie along the lines of Texas Chainsaw Massacre or Nightmare on Elm Street. It was basically a conversation between an unbeliever and a demon. And the demon had all the muscle.
The Jesus Revolution Remembered
The Jesus Revolution had all the elements of something I’d love: Jesus; the marvelously gifted Jonathan Roumie; the beautiful beaches of southern California; and redemption. Recipe for success; but it left me strangely unaffected.Â
