I need help getting through my Criterion Channel queue, rather than continually adding to the list 😭

I need a queue partner to motivate me; maybe share lists and pick a 1-2 a week for each other, or together 🤷🏿‍♂️

"What's new and different?"

Well, it's not new (1986), but #LizzieBorden's #WorkingGirls is still a very different and great #movie that shows the everyday realities of #SexWork (for white women and their customers) in a specific type of environment.
