Where To Invade Next

Where To Invade Next

Sarah was on assignment covering the 2015 Toronto Film Festival this year for Consequence Of Sound.

Michael Moore’s new return-to-form film Where To Invade Next premiered at the fest and it was “a very good op-ed in favor of America’s ability to live up to its potential and build itself into a country that actually represents the idea of liberty and equality that it’s espoused for so long.”

Mike Tyson's Bitcoin machine

Mike Tyson’s Bitcoin machine

Former boxing champ/current pop culture wind up doll Mike Tyson apparently has some Bitcoin machines in Las Vegas.

As someone who’s still reluctant to use their debit card this digital currency stuff is well foreign to me.

It’s also foreign to Sarah as well, but she was nonetheless tasked with writing about Tyson’s new venture for Fightland.

Sarah was on assignment covering the 2015 Toronto Film Festival this year for Consequence Of Sound.

One of the films she was particularly excited about was Ben Wheatley’s new effort, High-Rise. She says, “Film nerds, degenerates, and the sizable middle of that Venn diagram will be arguing about it for years to come.”
