Muppet Treasure Island

This week, we head to the beach for two films from the back catalog and former patreon to celebrate the beach. This episode we go to a movie that learned all the wrong lessons from its predecessor.

Jurassic World ReRelease

In honor of the mediocre end to the Jurassic World Trilogy, we return to the 2015 movie that sucked the charisma out of Chris Pratt, Jurassic World; a movie I have now seen easily two dozen times due to my daughter's love of dinosaurs and a vast Mattel marketing line. Join us for a second season episode where we are young sounding and still optimistic for the hopes of Universal Dino movies, we ignore running in heels, and are generally high on a fun movie experience.
