Happy day-after-Thanksgiving, BUSTies! The holiday season has officially arrived, and with it comes some cozy pop culture, like the Marvelous Mrs. Maisel and Sia’s holiday album. There are plenty of non-cozy picks, too, like Björk’s wonderfully weird album and a Hedy Lamarr documentary. As a reminder, we haven’t watched, read, or listened to all of these ourselves — when we have, we’ll link to our review, or refer to it if it’s in print. Enjoy!
