In our recent employee pick, Zoe and I had a discussion about the 1986 film "Club Paradise." Her love for the film became infectious and made me come around to the film's comedic beats and its standout performances, particularly those of Eugene Levy, Rick Moranis, and Peter O'Toole.

Today's cinematic gem is "Mandy." As we delved into the discussion, the consensus emerged that the initial thirty minutes of the movie had left Otis somewhat disenchanted. Despite the rocky start, we found ourselves recommending "Mandy". The film's ability to captivate and surprise makes it a must-watch for any cinephile seeking a distinctive and memorable experience.
