Turkey Films 2021

We thought 2020 was bad, but 2021 was another weird year of working entirely remotely and meeting via Zoom or MS Teams. COVID-19 and its yo-yoing mask mandates polarized us into either fatigued acceptance of fervent denial. Perhaps the only good thing, apart from the vaccines, was the simultaneous release of new movies in theaters and on streaming services. This allowed me to see new movies, like Dune, without risking breathing virus-filled air with a room full of strangers. We will once again be jettisoning the big family Thanksgiving day dinner, partly due to the fact that the dining room is now an office, and enjoying a chicken pie with one of my kids.

Once again, this post will focus solely on movies that feature masks, since we have come to love living in our masks. See if you can recognize and remember these movies from yesteryear. One day, I will be back in a movie theater, but that year is not 2021.

If you are new to "Turkey Films", check out the "rules" laid out in the first of these annual posts from way back in 2011.

Happy and safe Thanksgiving to all.
