Movie of the Year: 1982 – Poltergeist

Movie of the Year: 1982

Poltergeist

Can Poltergeist scare its way into being 1982’s Movie of the Year?

Nothing encapsulates the 1980s mindset quite like the horror buying a huge house only to have it turn out that there is something completely wrong with it. Or maybe it’s about the fundamental horror of realizing that every acre of land in this entire land must be haunted many times over, what with the manifold sins of this country. 

But also it’s a rip-roaring good time and a special effects smorgasbord! Will this duality help make it Movie of the Year? Probably not with Greg around, but let’s do this thing.

While Americans overwhelmingly support the right of an individual to make their own decisions about abortion, unfortunately, that right is no longer protected everywhere in the U.S.

The Supreme Court overturned Roe versus Wade on June 24th.

Abortion is a basic healthcare need for the millions of people who can become pregnant. Everyone should have the freedom to decide what’s best for themselves and their families, including when it comes to ending a pregnancy. This decision has dire consequences for individual health and safety, and could have harsh repercussions for other landmark decisions.

Restricting access to comprehensive reproductive care, including abortion, threatens the health and independence of all Americans. Even if you live in a state where abortion rights are upheld, access to safe medical procedures shouldn’t be determined by location, and it shouldn’t be the privilege of a small few.
