What's On Tonight (Friday): Murder for the Job You Want

          

No Other Choice

Today's Top Pick is the streaming premiere of director Park Chan-wook's No Other Choice.  The dark comedy follows a man who loses his job and goes to extremes to insure he gets a new one to maintain his family's standard of living.  The movie received excellent reviews but strangely was not nominated for any Oscars.  Never let it be said that the Oscars have better taste than What's On Tonight.

If Oscar nominations are important to you, we also have the streaming premiere of the Timothée Chalamet starrer, Marty Supreme.  I know a lot of people on our board don't much like Chalamet, but I have no issues with him.  Probably because I ignore most of the celebrity bullshit.  

⭐🎥 No Other Choice (Hulu, 12:01 AM) STREAMING PREMIERE. 'Follows a desperate paper industry expert who decides to kill off his competition to be assured of the job he seeks to maintain his way of life.  Directed by Park Chan-wook.'✔️
