"Young Washington" is like one of those great-man biographies you read in grade school. Released by Angel Studios for the Fourth of July, the movie is intended as a bit of likably square, neo-traditional, right-wing-adjacent counterprogramming.

SPOILER ALERT: This post contains mild spoilers from the video game “Unhinged,” which is now available to play on Netflix. When it comes to horror movies, I am a wimp.
