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.

Thank you Kelli Kelly.Comment publication date: 3/21/26, 8:12 AMComment source: In memorium -- The Melon ManComment author: Bob SondgrothComment text: There are times when you should just know about someone. Who and what they REALLY were. Because they were devotional and IMPORTANT to the humans they connected with. The content of their life bled so that others could feel their own life’s importance. Teachers of justifiable life and art. That all can absorb and use as the best fertilizer for THEIR lives. Giving the silent secrets and the loud guidance. The Melon Man was a perfect specimen for how to devote. His passing meant a life book of feeling/knowing what gives other humans their paths to Love and Knowledge. Some humans are meant to show others their paths. And in that they secrete ways to profitably exist.Comment publication date: 3/18/26, 4:50 PMComment source: In memorium -- The Melon ManComment author: Pam BitschenauerComment text: Ken, thank you for your kind words about Scott our "Mellon Man". My husband and I used to visit with Scott quite often when we lived in Fallon and then whenever we had the chance to as we passed through town. He was truly a good person and will be sorely missed.Comment publication date: 3/18/26, 3:15 PMComment source: In memorium -- The Melon Man
