  "textContent": "The greatest betrayal of my life was when my little sister texted the group chat a screenshot of the movie _Goat_ with a demand to \"clear your calendars,\" and over my protests, my older sister agreed, saying that she was \"actually dying to see this movie.\" The screenshot my little sister provided declared that ANDRE IGUODALA IS IGGY THE REF, a zebra, which was burying the lede. As it turned out, not only is Andre Iguodala Iggy the ref, but Stephen Curry (on top of producing the movie) is Lenny Williamson the giraffe, Nicola Coughlan is Olivia Burke the ostrich, and Gabrielle Union is Jett Fillmore the black panther. Also, Dwyane Wade is Rosette the bull, Angel Reese is Propp the polar bear, and A'ja Wilson is Kouyate the American alligator.\n\nIn accordance with sibling duty, we all went to see the movie for my little sister's 20th birthday, which meant that the three of us were the only childless adults over the age of 20 in the theater. The previews advertised such movies as an uncanny valley _Cat in the Hat_ adaptation; _The Super Mario Galaxy Movie_ ; another animated joint, _The Pout-Pout Fish_ , starring Nick Offerman as the Pout-Pout Fish; and _The Sheep Detectives_ , a film in which Julia Louis-Dreyfus and Bryan Cranston voice, respectively, Lily the Shetland sheep and an unnamed black Castlemilk Moorit sheep (I would like to watch this movie). After _Goat_ ended, a small gaggle of nephew-style children debated the Jett Fillmore character's levels of \"unc\" and \"gyatt.\" Safe to say that my sisters and I were not the target audience for this film.\n\nI am choosing not to have many opinions about the movie itself, which was animated very charmingly and told a classic sports tale about dreaming big, paced like 20 music videos stitched together. I can say that I was never bored. Also, I did learn a lot of facts, some of them about animals, and all of which I now take as fundamental truth and will incorporate into my worldview. The facts I have managed to retain over the past 24 hours are listed here:",
