Whiskey Tango Foxtrot

This week we'll be screening a "new release": Whiskey Tango Foxtrot (2016), a film starring Tina Fey that looks somewhat more substantive than Mean Girls (which I loved). It was co-directed by Glenn Ficarra and John Requa, and also stars Alfred Molina and Billy Bob Thornton. Here's the trailer:

The movie is billed as both dramatic and comedic, and it's also based on a work of non-fiction: Kim Barker's memoir: The Taliban Shuffle: Strange Days in Afghanistan and Pakistan, which recounts her experiences in these countries as a journalist in 2002 and following.

Friday, September 23rd:
Drinks and snacks at Matt and Yuriko's at 7pm; movie at 7:30.
