April 2020
Introduction
We now publish our April issue in its entirety. In a time when theaters are closed due to the COVID-19 pandemic, we can still enjoy reading about and discussing films, as well as viewing many of them from our homes (such as J.E.S.U.S.A., reviewed in this issue and just released online). I hope you all stay safe and well, wherever you are in the world during this challenging time. --John Lyden, EditorArticles
