1 . Every Friday, the hosts, and guests on Pop Culture Happy Hour share movies, TV, Music, and books that bought them joy that week. They suggest some for you to enjoy this weekend. Here’s the list.

It’s about a video game development company and the relationships between these characters. In this comedy, there were just some touching moments that made me actually cry.
	Jean of the Joneses, Amazon Prime At the Toronto International Film Festival in 2016, I saw a family comedy called Jean of the Joneses. It’s about a family and their secrets.
