Freddy Johnson @yofreddy.bsky.social · 15/10/2026Im watching one of the weirdest “dark comedy” movies I’ve ever seen: “Buffalo 66”. That’s how IMDM describes it. In my experience, it’s always more dark than humorous. Last one we watched was “Killer Joe” w/ Matthew McConaughey. Sheeeee-it. Both great movies but, way out there. Thoughts? 000 0
