While there are few substantive reasons to believe orange-faced Russian stooge/President elect Donald Trump will actually make America great again, his ascension is helping out one industry — self-defense.

Mascots
Christopher Guest, the master of the mockumentary, has released a new film covering the world of competitive mascotting called, coincidentally, Mascots.
The film will break little new ground for anyone familiar with the likes of Best In Show and A Mighty Wind. But what it does showcase is a master at his craft once again creating something solidly entertaining.
Sarah reviewed the film for Consequence Of Sound.

Free Fire
One of Sarah’s favourite directors is Ben Wheatley.
Because of this she made a point to see his new film Free Fire when it played at TIFF 2016.
Though not the knock out that High Rise was, the film displayed Wheatley’s “level of commitment, craftsmanship, and reliability.”

Sarah assembled a panel of academics to analyze exactly how mean those mind games are in a feature story for Fightland.
