I'm back to hosting #Comedon this week! @greenpepper22 has been keeping the movies rolling but has other duties to attend to tomorrow night.
Next up is Juno with Elliott Page and Michael Cera dealing with unplanned pregnancy in high school. It feels like something I hardly need to say on the fediverse, but when the film was made Page presented as female, but has since transitioned. In the role he became the sixth-youngest Oscar nominee but Best Actress instead went to Marion Cotillard for her portrayal of Édith Piaf. Quelle dommage!
I've been wanting to see it since it came out in 2007, but at the time my life was pretty much defined by the end result of our own kinda-sorta-not-exactly-planned-but-we'll-roll-with-it pregnancy and I didn't get out to movies very often.
There are a lot of paid services that have Juno and you can find them listed on

I've been looking for free options and so far have only found this one which is in sub-optimal, but viewable, 380p resolution.

Gee, this isn't making it sound very fun but it is a very well-regarded comedy...
The movie isn't about gender identity but it might come up as a meta topic and that's total legit.
