Although it’s easily bingeable, Cobra Kai is a deceptively ambitious series.

With Harold and Maude being Bruce Purkey’s all-time favorite film, a director’s spotlight on the great Hal Ashby was inevitable.

This week on Find Your Film our “biggest” movie is The Midnight Sky, and ultimately two out our trio recommend the flick (Bruce Purkey gave it the proverbial thumbs down).
