“All around me are familiar faces, worn out places, worn out faces.”
You know what rhymes with “faces”? “Places”. Know what rhymes with “places”? “Faces”. If you like this kind of clever word play, except with more mother-in-law jokes, then have we got a mad cap flick for you!

If only my gosh darn mother-in-law would get off of my back and let us review it!
If you’d like to watch ahead for next week’s film, we will be discussing and reviewing Ernest B. Schoedsack’s The Most Dangerous Game (1932).
