In this time of the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) virus*, commonly known as novel coronavirus, we need some uplifting-ness! Something magical, with mirth and miracles. And so in this episode of Popcorn and Inspiration, I give you 1988’s comedy “The Milagro Beanfield War,” about a jack-of-all-trades named Joe, who’s mad as hell, not gonna take it anymore, and steals government water to irrigate his dad’s old beanfield. A most magical pandemonium ensues!
