Long before 2016, many people had survived their families at Thanksgiving by instituting strict "no politics" rules. Now that we're all trapped in an unending collective nightmare, that might be a morally questionable policy—but in Tiffany Haddish's newest movie, it looks completely impossible.
Haddish stars alongside Ike Barinholtz in The Oath (which is also Barinholtz's directorial debut) about a family Thanksgiving that goes from fighting over politics to fighting with fists and knives. There are plenty of lines that sound like they could have come from almost any Internet comments section—like, "My favorite thing about liberals! As soon as they're triggered, they call everyone a Nazi"—but framed by some cryptic, The Purge-sounding government mandate called the "Patriot Oath."
The Oath debuts October 12, with enough time for you to have your own Thanksgiving where you can tell someone, "I just want to one more time say I am really sorry you got tased."
