We just got back from seeing 'The Chosen" (Season 3 Episodes 1&2) in the theater.
For Christians and the Christianity-curious, I highly recommend this made for TV series, but start with watching Seasons 1 and 2. They can be watched for free. https://new.thechosen.tv/
The production values and acting are top notch. With the TV series having more time/room to work with than a movie, the characters are fleshed out, with their human failings and challenges making for relatable drama. The show is not simply a word for word transcription of biblical text. It is meant to be entertaining as well, so while taking great pains to not contradict scripture, it does fill in plausible back stories to depict a more complete view of the time period and the humanity of Jesus's followers.
There will be seven seasons in total. Filming for season 3 has wrapped, and season 3 episodes will start being released on TV in December.

I can guarantee no one here has seen "She Said" since that movie flopped big time.

I finally watched the film "The Wizard of Oz" at the Gene Siskel Film Center. I knew all the songs, quotes and tropes, but I have not seen the film until now. And it was a joy to see TWOZ on a large screen with awesome audio!
Watching E1 of Wednesday that drop 10 minutes ago. Will provide my opinion soon.
edit:
E1 is Dope!

I've only seen it once in its entirety and I'm pretty sure I was a kid at the time.

I saw that one for the first time probably about 10 years ago. It’s a very bizarre film which I enjoyed quite a bit!

Raw Deal and maybe Commando are the only ones of the bunch worth seeing.
I say maybe with Commando because it's astoundingly cringe even for its era, on the same tier as Stallone's Cobra, although that might be part of its charm.

That movie has the greatest performance by a former game show host.
