DAILY CALL SHEET: MAY 6, 2022

Duck Soup (1933) The Marx Brothers savage kneejerk nationalism and politics in general. Almost 100 years old and still one of the funniest movies ever made. TIL: Pope St. Paul VI condemned nationalism that leads to isolation, but approved of pride in national history and culture.

The Innkeepers (2011) Closing night at a historic hotel gets a bit creepy for the staff. Not much happens until the end, but the quirky characters make the wait worthwhile. TIL: St. Julian the Hospitaler is the patron saint of innkeepers and those seeking safe lodging.
