For this Sunday Kino Night, first up is Manjummel Boys (2024), an Indian adventure film about a group of friends who go spelunking in a dangerous cave illegally; one of them falls into a put, and the other dudes have to rock in order to rescue him. They deal with numerous obstacles, including harassment from the worse-than-useless police, along the way. This will be the first Malayalam movie we have watched. This is the best-known and best-regarded film of director Chidambaram to date.

Next up is Sorry We Missed You (2019), a British drama from the maestro of working-class struggle himself, Ken Loach, the guy behind Kes (1969), The Wind That Shakes the Barley (2006), and I Daniel Blake (2016), all of which we previously watched. A man whose family has fallen on hard times since the 2008 financial crash finds a new job opportunity as a delivery driver; things start looking up, but this is the UK we’re talking about, so of course everything goes to shit anyway as pressures from his work and family life threaten to undo his newfound financial independence. God Damn Capitalism: The Movie. This is considered one of Loach’s best films, so let’s check it out.

We’ll start at 8PM EST on Hextube, right here:

Yep, I'm getting that too. Full error banner says:

Error
The socket.io library could not be loaded from https://live.hexbear.net:8443/socket.io/socket.io.js. Ensure that it is not being blocked by a script blocking extension or firewall and try again.

Turned off ublock and umatrix extensions & firewall but still getting it. Looks like it's not a totally new issue.
