From time to time President Barack Obama likes to let people know about the books he is reading.

He also provides film and television recommendations periodically.

As the year and the decade winds down, Obama once again updated his followers on Twitter with his best ofs.

The former President shared his favorite movies and TV shows in one list on Sunday, December 29.

Included were both theatrical and streaming releases in the list of 18 movies.

For television or streaming service episodic programs, Obama kept it to just three titles:

  • Fleabag: Season 2
  • Unbelievable
  • Watchmen
While none of the shows are exactly kid friendly, one title definitely drew people's notice for a specific scene from the show's pilot. And one would assume if a person watched season 2, they must have seen season 1.

The show?

Fleabag.
The scene?
Star Phoebe Waller-Bridge pleasures herself while watching a certain President giving a speech.

Some people did a bit of creative editing.

People weren't sure the recommendation meant Obama saw that scene though.





Only President Obama knows if he saw that scene and so far he's not answering that question.

'Dr. Pimple Popper' Star Reveals She Suffered Stroke While Filming Series: 'I Had A Part Of My Brain That Died'

It's already scary to witness a younger person go through a life-changing medical diagnosis, but it's especially jarring to see a medical professional, who presumably knows best about how to care for themselves, go through the same.

Sandra Lee, known as "Dr. Pimple Popper" on Lifetime, is well-known for her bedside manner, medical knowledge and ability to share her knowledge in an accessible way, and, of course, her unique approach to dermatological care.

Rob Schneider Dragged For Criticizing Elizabeth Banks' 'Dangerous Rhetoric' After She Called Out White Female Trump Voters

After actor and filmmaker Elizabeth Banks—who played Effie Trinket in The Hunger Games—called out white women who voted for President Donald Trump, MAGA actor Rob Schneider lashed out against what he referred to as her "dangerous rhetoric."

Those who've read the book and seen the film adaptation of The Hunger Games know that Trinket—known for joyfully announcing, "Happy Hunger Games and the odds may be ever in your favor!"—is a mistress of propaganda for a hostile government that forces teenagers to fight to the death every year to intimidate critics and keep society's poorest and most vulnerable in line. Trinket eventually embraces the rebellion.

Trump's Border Czar Ripped For Hypocrisy After Telling Pope Leo To 'Stay Out Of Politics'

President Donald Trump's border czar Tom Homan was called out for hypocrisy after telling Pope Leo XIV to "stay out of politics" after he clashed with Trump over the widely unpopular war in Iran.

Last week, Pope Leo criticized the war and called on the world "to reject war, especially a war which many people have said is an unjust war, which is continuing to escalate and is not resolving anything."
