The Voices (2015)
Ryan Reynolds recently called this movie one of the favorite movies he has ever made, describing it as “weird and fun and beautiful.” This lesser-known film isn’t one of Reynolds’ most notable or best-reviewed films. Yet The Voices is a pretty entertaining watch. It only had a limited release, so chances are you haven’t watched it and probably never even heard of it.
In the satirical psychological horror comedy, Reynolds plays Jerry Hickfang, a factory worker who hears voices in his head caused by his schizophrenia. Despite having constant hallucinations, he tries to keep this secret from his co-workers. When he goes off his medication, his hallucinations, however, start leading him to commit murder, again and again. Also starring Anna Kendrick, The Voices received pretty decent reviews, not to mention that glowing one from the star himself.

All in the Family (1971-1979)
All in the Family is one of the most iconic sitcoms of all time and also one of the most controversial when looking back. Carroll O’Connor stars as the surly Archie Bunker, a racist, bigoted working-class man who doesn’t hold his thoughts back on any marginalized group, whether it’s those of a different race, gender, or sexual identity. The show was one of the first of its kind to tackle serious issues like women’s liberation, rape, religion, the Vietnam War, and antisemitism. The sitcom uses a humorous lens to tackle these subjects in a lighthearted manner.
While Bunker isn’t necessarily a likable character, it’s the family members who surround him and try (and fail) to change his views that contribute to those laugh-track-worthy moments. All in the Family should show us how far we’ve come in the last half century, but in many ways, the sitcom highlights how far we haven’t.
Stream All in the Family on Amazon Prime Video.
