DAILY CALL SHEET: JANUARY 23, 2020


Rabbits (2002) Bunny people experience angst. So this is what a David Lynch sitcom would look like; weirder than most things on the planet. TIL: Contrary to legend, the domestication of rabbits did not start because Pope Gregory declared fetal bunnies okay to eat during Lent.
