Staff Pick: Brigsby Bear

Development and Events Coordinator Jane Cassingham is here with our latest Coolidge Staff Pick, Dave McCary's Brigsby Bear.

“If you're into comedies, complicated family stories, creepy kids' TV shows from the 1980s, or if you can relate to emerging from an underground bunker, then this is a movie for you.” Watch the intro below, and then sit down to watch the film, which is available to rent on some platforms.
