The summer nights full of s’mores, tin foil dinners over a bonfire, and backyard shenanigans are coming to an end. Might we suggest one more movie night with the family before we start ramping back up for the school year? If your kids already started the school year, you’re blessed and probably stressed. You should still consider a movie night with the family. At VidAngel, we think a good ol’ movie night is the answer to everything. Need to relax? Movie night. Want to get a good laugh? Watch a comedy. Car troubles? Movie night. It’s like saying world peace at a pageant.
