Today was supposed to be our Be Kind, Rewind Episode for a movie that had a lot of action in it. Because of the current political climate, and recent tragedies of gun violence, we didn't want anything said in the episode back in the Fall of 2018 to be misconstrued as if said today. The episode will be aired, but Spro needs an extra week to edit the fantastic GREMLIN'S 2 to be aired April 9th, 2021. Then, Season 2's DREDD (with Jeremy!) will be aired April 13th! Have a great Good Friday!...
