The perfect pandemic film: Osmosis Jones

Movie recommendation for the weekend from Viviane
The perfect pandemic film: Osmosis Jones

Author: Photo provided by Warner Bros.

What is the one movie that the whole family can sit down to watch together, is still good after 19 years, and is about a virus? The perfect pandemic film -- Osmosis Jones.

Released in 1991, Chris Rock, Bill Murray, and William Shatner created a movie that is perfect for viewing on Saturday night, when you have caught up on all of the recorded episodes of Law and Order you have had sitting for months.

Rock portrays Jones, a white blood cell in Murray’s body, who attempts to catch a virus before it extends to the whole body. Not only is this film literally about a virus, but it also teaches us what we all have had to realize throughout the pandemic. Taking care of ourselves and one another is one of the most important things we can do in life. As the saying goes, we are #StrongerTogether.

Osmosis Jones is featured on HBO Max, Amazon, and iTunes.

Comment author: EvaComment text: Grandpa, I find myself wondering about you every so often. I see glimpses of your face in the years worn onto my dad. It makes me feel more connected to you in some way. I remember the familiar kindness from you that I know in my dad. I would’ve really liked to have a good conversation. I only have a handful of memories with you, but you were loving, and you were kind. I wish I was able to say more. If I am someone to you, I hope I make you proud. Thank you Aunt for this sweet post.Comment publication date: 3/27/26, 12:11 AMComment source: Obituary -- Randolph Floris Banovich C Comment author: RBCComment text: The Navy should reimburse the market cost of replacing the grazing land they are taking. Period.Comment publication date: 3/26/26, 10:38 AMComment source: Local Rancher Says Navy Land Expansion is Devastating His Family RanchComment author: Charlene B JohnsonComment text: This post was released without letting the next of kin or family know first. I am Kelly’s sister, Charlene B Johnson and his daughter is Trisha Benjamin. The Fallon Tribal Police acted unconscionably by not notifying the family first. This is devastating for us especially after speaking a little bit with the officer handling the report and The Chief Juarez. Who refused to give me any further details or to at least let me know the FBI was notified and that they were investigating if my brothers death was foul play or not. My understanding is the FBI is called when a body is found. Tribal Chairwoman please do the family a solid and make sure the finding of my brother was due to suspicious circumstances.Comment publication date: 3/24/26, 1:55 PMComment source: Fallon Paiute-Shoshone Tribe Reports Death Under InvestigationComment author: Nicole GalbraithComment text: Farren - I just saw that you aren’t here with us. I am completely in shock! I met you and hung out with you so many years ago with Jer, and Eden. I honestly can’t believe you are gone…..you were a wonderful human being, with a HUGE heart and soul. Hearing this makes my heart break! You are forever in our hearts, and I can say I feel blessed that I was able to know you! Rest easy sweet Farren xoxoComment publication date: 3/23/26, 12:30 PMComment source: Obituary- Farren Crossland
