Mad Friday treat @thesjt.bsky.social with a well-chosen festive Moviedrome screening of the gothic-style fantasy romance Edward Scissorhands (1990), with host @madbasil.bsky.social live on stage.
Themes of otherness explored in a magical fairy tale, so right tonight for a Christmas treat. Bravo!

Tonight @thesjt.bsky.social, a Japanese movie in the 'Rashomon-like' vernacular when multiple tales are conflicting, subjective & contradictory versions by different people (disambiguation). Hosted @madbasil.bsky.social, Kurosawa's 1950 film excels in telling a good yarn or two (or three or four).
