Green Book
Recommended by Al Sacco, managing editor
At final month'south Academy Awards, Green Book took the award for Best Motion-picture show. And for skilful reason; information technology's an excellent picture, and probably my favorite motion picture of 2022.
It'southward the story of an African American musician in the U.S. during the early 1960s, played by Mahershala Ali, who goes on tour across the American South. Earlier leaving New York City, he holds a ready of job interviews for a driver to become him from gig to gig but to also protect him for the problems he is well-nigh guaranteed to face up in the southern states, due to his race. Viggo Mortensen, a tough Italian handyman of sorts, gets the chore. And the embark together on an eventful road trip.
The flick is simultaneously uncomfortable, funny, heartwarming and smart. And both Mortensen and Ali are authentic and memorable. I loved it, and I bet y'all volition also.

Trailer Park Boys
Recommended by Cale Chase, staff writer
If you're Canadian, chances are you've heard at least a whisper of Trailer Park Boys, the cult hitting TV show that debuted in 2001 and is still going today in some form or other.

Lahey likewise happens to be a wicked drunk, and the boys tin usually play him equally they go about growing dope and other unlawful activities. The testify is crass, uncensored, and oftentimes over the height, but in every episode there's a message of friendship, family unit, and freedom.

Utopia for Realists — Rutger Bregman
Recommended by Dan Thorp-Lancaster
I started reading Utopia for Realists by Rutger Bregman, a Dutch historian and journalist, this week and I haven't been able to put it down.
It'southward amazing to me how Bregman lays out how a number of "progressive" policies are more feasible than either side of the political course (at to the lowest degree here in the U.S.) would have you believe and, indeed, are natural progressions of a path humanity has been on for hundreds of years. After all, ask someone in the 14th century to describe their platonic earth (read: utopia) and they would likely come up up with a list of things we enjoy today: unfettered access to food for most of the population, the virtual eradication of common mortiferous diseases, and a whole host of other ideas that seemed unattainable for almost of humanity's history.
Bregman touches on everything from topics like the enormous benefits of universal basic income (UBI) for lifting people out of poverty (did you know President Nixon, of all people, was very close to passing a UBI beak?), to shorter work weeks and more. Bregman doesn't lay out an verbal blueprint, just the basis of the volume lies in envisioning what our generation's aspirational "utopia" should be, backed upwards by plenty of data showing that nosotros can afford these policies in ways that satisfy both the correct and left of the political sphere.
