What's On Tonight (Friday): Oh Holy Nightbitch...

          

Nightbitch

We've had an interesting holiday. It started when a friend got food poisoning on Christmas Eve and spent most of the evening vomiting.  That same night my mother-in-law's heat went completely out (temps were in the 20s) and there was a house fire near us that had us all gagging from the smoke.  Then on Christmas day there was another big house fire right around the corner from us.  Trump ain't even President yet and shit is falling apart.  

Today's premieres aren't going to turn the tide.  The streaming premiere of Nightbitch gets the Top Pick honor pretty much by default.  There are some other premieres but nothing I have any intention of watching.  I'm not going to watch Nightbitch either, but at least it has Amy Adams.  I know some people don't like her, but I'm a fan.  Her latest film just doesn't hold much interest for me.  

TOP PICK

⭐🎥 Nightbitch (Hulu, 12:01 AM) STREAMING PREMIERE. 'A woman pauses her career to be a stay-at-home mom seeking a new chapter in her life and encounters just that, when her maternal routine takes a surreal turn. Starring Amy Adams.'
