Louis C.K. has done another thing. He did the thing a few weeks ago, it turns out. But this week the thing appeared on the internet, as things do. And so The Nose, as it does, must cover the thing.
And we've gotten to that part of the year where all the awards-season movies all come out at once. (I guess it's called... "awards season"? Huh.) But then the rest of pop culture keeps keeping on at the same time.
It can get to be a real strain on The Nose, so this week we cover two movies at once: Adam McKay's six-time Golden Globe-nominated Vice and Susanne Bier's Sandra-Bullock-and-John-Malkovich, post-apocalyptic, Netflix thriller, Bird Box.
