Happy 4th of July! Happy Independence Day! Happy Birthday America! 2023!

We do apologize for this being a bit tardy but, in honor of the 4th we will be focusing on Action movies this month! There is no genre of film or T.V. that we do not enjoy and action films are no exception! We will be sharing some of our favorite Action movies this month and creating some new games. We hope you will join us this month for some laughs, fun, some critiquing and analyzing, and of course a few drinks! (Always be safe and drink responsibly!)

The movies we watched this 4th are as follows:

1.     On the Basis of Sex (We know this is not an action film…but it is too awesome and RBG was and will forever be a badass!)

2.     Mercy

3.     Captain America: The First Avenger

4.     The Patriot

5.     Sgt. Stubby

What do you think??! We had fun with it and the game even worked fairly well for On the Basis of Sex which was surprising! We have also been known to watch more dramatic films this time of year as well just about freedom, civil rights, etc. in general. We have watched Les Miserables and V for Vendetta this time of year in the past as well. It really just depends on our mood!
