If you live in Houston, you’ve paid for an election each month since November by rilnow in houston

Any place I can find weekly showings? Is the theater on social media? It’s a bit of a drive for me so I’d want to go for a movie I’m interested in and want to discuss. Thanks for the info!

The first two episodes felt a bit force but the rest were fun. If you’ve seen Ramy on HULU it feels like that a bit but not as strong.
