They say that Love is Blind…but is it? This week’s film maybe answers that question. Or maybe it doesn’t. We don’t know. We’ve seen this film and we’re confused, even after discussing it on this week’s episode. We also talk about facts and feelings, the future of the Bond franchise, and beanie hats.
