Hello Friday! Chelsea here.
It seems like everyone’s talking about aliens right now. Congress held a hearing earlier this week about unexplained aerial phenomena and all of the alien talk reminded me of this amazing 1980s short film. I don’t want to spoil anything for you before you watch it, but I will mention that the iconic Rhodes Tower downtown goes on quite the adventure.
