Jack and I loved this documentary about the outspoken, hilarious columnist (1944-2007). Director/co-writer Janice Engel and co-writer Monique Zavistovski's work kept us captivated throughout the story of "six feet of Texas trouble" who took no prisoners, including calling George W. Bush "Shrub." One reviewer called it "a wistful reminder of the pleasures of free speech."
Her 1991 essay collection, Molly Ivins Can't Say That, Can She?, resides on my humor bookshelf.

We streamed it on April 9, included with our Hulu subscription. You can also get it for a small fee on other platforms.
Musings on movies, suitable for reading before or after you see them. I write WITHOUT SPOILERS. The one thing I hate more than spoilers is reviewers' trashing movies because they think it makes them seem smart. Movie title links are usually links to blog posts.
