I highly recommend seeing Blackmail, a 2018 Indian Hindi-language black comedy film. I saw it with English subtitles and Irrfan Khan is the protagonist. There are lots of twists and turns, a great score, and a nice ending.
AMC and Regal have most of the theaters in the USA. They will not show Netflix films, for the same reason.

Immediately before wearing a face mask, wash the spectacles with soapy water and shake off the excess. Then, let the spectacles air dry or gently dry off the lenses with a soft tissue before putting them back on. Now the spectacle lenses should not mist up when the face mask is worn.

The Wikipedia page has a long list of songs and artists (at the bottom) who used the Wrecking Crew. In the documentary, one of the artists said that his band tried to record the music themselves, and took over 100 takes to get it right. The Wrecking Crew could do the same work in an hour. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Wrecking_Crew_(music)
Wrecking Crew member Carol Kaye said in the documentary that she still gets a tear in her eye when she hears the unique music cue she improvised for one of Glen Campbell's hit songs.
Wichita Lineman (1968)
Galveston (1969)
By the Time I Get to Phoenix (1967)
The Wrecking Crew is a 2008 documentary that didn't get released until 2015. It took that long to get the rights to air the clips from the many songs featured. Glen Campbell is prominently featured and interviewed. He hired his Wrecking Crew colleagues to help him on his first solo albums.
I don't think I started watching this until it had been on for several years. I haven't seen any of the Season 1 and 2 episodes in this COVID-19 marathon.
Psych is similar to Monk in that there is usually a big speech at the end, revealing the criminal and how the crime was done. But Psych has a lot more subtle humor in every episode.
James Roday has said COVID-19, so they made the stay-at-home videos for this. They are repeating some of their comments, though. They didn't make enough for a marathon, Lassie.
I've never heard of a home mortgage loan with a term longer than 30 years. So the house should have already been paid off.
Originally, savings and loan associations held mortgages, not banks. The deregulation of the banking industry in the 1970s destroyed the S&L's. A bank might now be a service agent for whoever invested in the mortgage. Sounds like this crooked bank was continuing to collect on a mortgage that was already paid in full.
[quote]The situation was, she had paid her mortgage for 30 years, had plenty of equity in the home, and therefore was certain to pay off her mortgage with interest eventually, at best (for her) after she made her final payments, at worst (for her) at a later foreclosure. There was no risk, to the bank, in a little further delay. They could afford to show some consideration to a sick old woman who had made every payment for 30 years.
The bank was merely being predatory. Mr. Jacks wanted to force a sale of the home during a down-market (allowing them to "sieze the trapped equity"); and also to make a sizeable amount in fees (meaning they are overcharging, since foreclosure fees are merely supposed to compensate, not serve as an incentive).
Their investment was not otherwise at risk; and Ganush, by all appearances, was in the midst of a genuine medical hardship.[/quote]
