I generally go with things that are so big as to be inescapable (Barbenheimer), old enough to be universally known (The Matrix), or things that I I know most of them won’t get without some Googling and I’m fine with that (Little Shop of Horrors)

Fae licenses are open but non-free. They come with the most amazing and consequential conditions, and no remedial opportunity to cure violations.
