TUESDAY

The State of the Union was supposed to take place tonight but thanks to Nancy Pelosi’s brass balls, it’s been postponed. As a result, everyone is just airing reruns. As for what to watch?

May I suggest catching up with your DVR recordings? Maybe with that Netflix queue that is backed up? I finally got around to Fyre on Netflix and Get Me Roger Stone and I recommend both. But if you’re missing the sense of existential dread that the SOTU would have provided, I urge you to watch Hereditary on Amazon.
