MAIL BAG LINK It seems like each time we take a little hiatus it is for a longer and longer amount of time. No matter. We are back once again with a bit of a wrap-up/update on the last month-and-a-half or so. Just in time for Spooktober, which we love to get into the spirit of. More stuff to come in the coming weeks and months, but it feels good to make an episode again. Thanks for listening !...

MAILBAG HERE We're back in action with somewhat of a double feature. Two movies that just came out? unheard of for this podcast ! Yet here we are. We watched both Barbie and Oppenheimer for this week, and we talk all about them here. We did have a bit of a delay when recording, so any audio weirdness can be explained by that. Should be fixed by next time. Thanks for listening !...
