MOVIE OF THE WEEK

Okay, this isn’t a great movie. Nevertheless, it demonstrates that life doesn’t have to be essentially over in your 80s or in the case of Rita Moreno, your 90s. 

80 For Brady (2023)

80 for Brady is a 2023 American sports comedy film produced by former NFL quarterback Tom Brady. The film follows four lifelong friends (Lily Tomlin, Jane Fonda, Rita Moreno, and Sally Field) who travel to watch Brady and his New England Patriots play in Super Bowl LI in 2017. Billy Porter, Rob Corddry, Alex Moffat, and Guy Fieri also star. (Source: Wikipedia)

Movie Background

80 for Brady is based on a true story! According to CBS News Sunday Morning, the movie was inspired by a real group of Tom Brady super-fans who dubbed themselves the “Over 80 for Brady” club. The real group consists of Elaine St. Martin and Betty Pensavalle and their friends Anita, Pat and Claire.

MUSIC OF THE WEEK

Pocketful of Sunshine (2008)

By Natasha Bedingfield

Music Background

Bedingfield noted “Pocketful of Sunshine” as her favourite, stating that it centers on escaping from one’s troubles.

Lyrically, the song discusses escapism and finding a peaceful place in difficult situations. The message is amplified by the melancholic tone of the lyrics mixing with the exuberance displayed in Bedingfield’s voice. (Source: Wikipedia)
