Endorsement: Juliana Stratton for U.S. Senate (Illinois)

This is Endorsement #14 — Juliana Stratton for U.S. Senate (Illinois).

Movies That Make You Think — Part 18

Four different kinds of tension — surveillance, conscience, loyalty, and chaos — all with that “hangs in your head afterward” quality.

KIMI (Max)

A tight techno‑thriller about isolation and surveillance — a woman who listens for a living hears something she can’t unhear, and the system closes in.

Juror #2 (Max)

A courtroom pressure cooker built around one question: what do you do when your duty to tell the truth collides with your instinct to protect yourself?

End of Watch (Max)

A gritty LA cop story with real heart — friendship, adrenaline, and the way “routine” work can turn into life‑or‑death fast.

Fargo (Prime Video)

A darkly funny crime classic about how small greed turns into big violence — and how ordinary people react when chaos drops into their lives.

Movies That Make You Think — Part 17

Four very different stories, but all built around the same pressure: what happens when you want connection, answers, or control badly enough.

Friendship (Max)

A painfully funny black comedy about adult male friendship — the need to belong curdling into something else.

Weapons (Max)

A town comes apart when a classroom of kids vanishes in the middle of the night — dread, rumor, and a mystery that won’t stay contained.

Miracle (Hulu)

A sports classic about belief and discipline — a reminder that “impossible” is often a story people tell themselves until it isn’t.

If I Had Legs, I’d Kick You (Max)

A raw, darkly funny pressure‑cooker about caregiving, identity, and the thin line between “holding it together” and unraveling.
