The other day, I was going through the twenty-two 2019 movies I'd seen up to that point and trying to rank them all from best to worst (for the record, the best so far was Us). While going through this list, I discovered something I hadn't realized before: The Highwaymen is my least favorite movie of 2019 so far. Considering we've only just now reached April 2019, that statement doesn't really have much weight to it, goodness knows that The Highwaymen isn't anywhere near as bad as all-time worst films like God's Not Dead. But of the small crop of movies I've seen from 2019, The Highwaymen is easily the most disposable and tedious film of the bunch.

It's Hard To Find Much Meat On The Bones Of The Founder
In the 21st century, McDonalds has weathered a storm of bad publicity stemming from growing health concerns surrounding their food which has only been compounded by documentaries like Super Size Me. While McDonalds still makes money hand over fist, there's no denying their reputation has been tarnished greatly in the 2000's and it's likely never going to restore itself to its former reputation given how the fact that the companies food is so completely unhealthy is now basic knowledge. The Founder takes audiences back to a time when the word McDonalds had an aura of promise and innocence to it, to an era where the eatery was limited to just one location in California.
