What might help against the pandemic rumble is the full roar of nostalgia.
So back to the good old days, when Corona still made you think of kings or beer.
How about this, for example?
The eighties high school comedy "I think I'm standing in the woods" as a radio play, read by the Hollywood dream couple of the noughties: Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston, who turned on each other in the roles of their teenage alter egos.
This is what happened at a virtual charity reading on Thursday evening via Zoom.
Pitt starred in Brad Hamilton, a star in the 1982 film: A Senior High School Year.
Pitt has a crush on Linda, voiced by Aniston.
At the beginning of the Zoom meeting, Aniston greeted her ex-husband with "Hi Pitt. How are you darling?"
During the radio play, it was mainly one scene that will be remembered.
In it, Brad Hamilton fantasizes about his Linda.
He imagines her flirting with him.
Among other things, Aniston aka Linda said: "Hello Brad, you know how cute I always thought you were. You are so sexy. Are you coming to me?"
Shortly thereafter, there is a scene that says, "Brad jerks you off."
Pitt is smiling at the camera right now.
Aniston and Pitt became a couple in 1998. "When we met, it was there immediately. That first-date spark. That was it. It was clear that we were right for each other," Aniston told the Hamburg magazine TV Today in early 2004 ".
But love was apparently not enough: After months of rumors about a marriage crisis, the actors announced their divorce in 2005.

Many fans still hope for the love comeback.
At the Golden Globes in early January, the US media was expecting a chance meeting of the two.
An Entertainment Online reporter said on the red carpet to Pitt, the world, the Internet, everyone was hoping for this moment "so they can take their picture".
Pitt replied laconically: "I've already met her, she's a good friend."
That means: don't get your hopes up, world.
Shia LaBeouf, Julia Roberts and Matthew McConaughey were also there
In addition to Pitt and Aniston, the reading organized by the Core charity included a whole squad of Hollywood stars: Shia LaBeouf, Julia Roberts, Matthew McConaughey, Jimmy Kimmel, John Legend, Henry Golding, Dane Cook were there - and of course the one Star of the original film, Sean Penn.
