Choosing peace over chaos this Thanksgiving, I decided against the typical travel frenzy to embrace a more restful celebration. Instead, I treated myself to a refreshing matinee of the musical "Wicked," underscoring the joy of prioritizing one's sanity and meaningful connections outside the traditional holiday bustle. 

However, not everything is serene as we shift gears to a critique of the current movie theater landscape, especially spotlighting AMC's missed opportunities. From the underwhelming incentives for matinee showings to the barrage of ads that test one's patience, these elements are key to understanding the drift away from theaters. Yet, the magic of the big screen remains unmatched, and it's a call to action to appreciate films as the creators/artists intended. And before we wrap up, we dive into music, sharing an appreciation for Kendrick Lamar's latest album, "Gen X," with its captivating track "Luther," urging listeners to broaden their musical horizons and experience its profound artistry.

At the end of the day, it really is All About The Joy!  So whether it's hanging out with friends and family during the holidays or how we need to enjoy the movie going experience, this episode will address ways in which things can always be better!  And, as the great Maya Angelou said, "...when we know better, we do better...".
