DAILY CALL SHEET: DECEMBER 17, 2019


Rollerball (1975) Athlete takes on the soul-crushing corporatocracy which controls the dystopian future of 2018. Corny and cool at the same time. TIL: According to Pope Pius XII, sports can help us to learn the importance of wisdom and perseverance in the struggles of daily life.


Still Voices - Black Mama, White Mama (1973) "Conformity goes to the fourth-remov'd, I wear my hat as I please indoors or out." - Walt Whitman


Dad Rock Daily: Gordon Lightfoot - Summertime Dream (1976) Nice collection of folk rock, but alas, nothing else on the album can escape the shadow of the Edmund Fitzgerald. Laudable Lyrics: The house you live in will never fall down if you pity the stranger who stands at your gate.


And finally, in h9nor of the soon to be released Episode IX, Catholic Skywalker presents his ranking of all the films that have come before in the series. It’s not the way I would rank them, but what are lists for if not to argue over?
