Even though there are new movies hitting local theaters these days many theaters are still at limited capacity and new films are few in coming.
This being the case there are some great choices on the small or not so small screen at home not only through streaming services but on regular, standard tv as well. Shows like Call Me Kat with Mayim Bialik, most recently of The Big Band Theory and before that from the 1990’s TV Hit Blossom.

With co-stars like Swoosie Kurtz (Jessie on Desperate Housewives) and Lesslie Jordan (who played the short gay guy, Beverley Leslie, Karen’s nemesis in Will and Grace) the show is definatley set up for the laughs.

First and foremost we can’t forget that we’ve been living in a Streaming State for the better part of the past year. Most of us who are avid movie watchers have sought out streaming platforms to be able to watch new movie content. In fact many movie companies have even pushed us closer towards their streaming platforms and started releasing quite a few new movies through them instead of at a theater.

Things become more complicated when Vivian’s hard-living neighbor Shelly (Juno Temple) disappears on a prolonged bender, leaving her precocious and unique 7-year-old son Sam (Ryder Allen), often the target of bullying, in Palmer’s reluctant care. In time, Palmer is drawn into a more hopeful world as he forges a connection with Sam through their shared experience of being made to feel different by those around them.
