'Is This Thing On?' Performs a Decent Set
It's certainly not a Best Picture contender, no matter how hard Cooper and Netflix try to push it. It's merely okay, which is pretty much the state of Bradley Cooper's directorial career.

Why 'Hamnet' Will Break and Repair Your Heart
For a common fool like myself, unable to even comprehend most of Shakespeare's old English, Hamnet profoundly makes you understand his work.
