Tonight's Top Pick is a show I had planned never to make the Top Pick, Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen. Andy's lone guest is Ms. Julia Roberts, who has been plugging the hell out of Leave the World Behind. You know me, always one to honor some good old-fashioned project-pimping.
STREAMING

"Follows Janet (Roisin Gallagher), a foul-mouthed supermarket worker who doesn't care about anything, and Seamus (Johnny Flynn), a handsome, self-centered, political broadcaster with a seemingly perfect London life and a celebrity girlfriend (Alice Eve).

Mychael Rambo) is real and wants to drum up some holiday spirit, two of Santa's elves, Chuck (Patrick Thomas O'Brien) and Debbie (Bailey Stender), devise a plan to grant one human on Earth three wishes to kickstart the holidays. Unfortunately, that human is Erin (Rachael Leigh Cook), who has lost all affection for the season. Even a blind date set up by her sister, with the affable and charming Sam (Sam Page), won't change her mind about Christmas. But when she makes the mistake of wishing Christmas would 'just disappear,' Erin wakes up to a world where the holiday never existed! Horrified, she realizes that she's taken away everyone's joy, so she enlists Sam to help her reinvent the festivities from scratch. In the process, Erin learns just how much this holiday and its traditions have meant to everyone around her - and how much Sam has come to mean to her."
