It helped form an opinion there's no such thing as a bad prison movie. For example, I remember formative experiences like watching 1980's Brubaker (Morgan Freeman's other jail flick). It's times like these, when I do feel the urge to turn my back on TV, I remember all it's taught me. There's plenty more streaming potential on that dank, fusty COVID-bum-dented lounge.
While we may have some outdoor liberties reinstated, we are still weak and vulnerable and it would be ill-advised to eschew TV for exercise and socialisation just yet. As many of us emerge from lockdown after months of solid TV, it's natural to be feeling a little feeble, scared and photosensitive a bit like those forgotten inmates who dreamboat prison warden Robert Redford coaxed out of crime and punishment hell in Brubaker (Stan).
