Round Those Movies Up, Pal

It's an old timey round-up-cast, with Tucker, Morgan & Celia running the boards: Godzilla Vs. Kong & Bad Trip get some attention, but so does Roberto Rossellini and his neorealism, a metric ton of James Spader movies that Celia used as mood altering substances in her travels across the country, and a bit of riffing on Spielberg and a million other things: movies pal. Movies!

Nomadland, Minari & The Bathroom Related Drama

Bring It On: and no, we're not just referring to this week's double feature of melancholy streaming critical populist tales featuring 80s Korean family farms and widows cruising the badlands.

Lots of legitimate toilet humor! Wandavision? Yes, but no children are here to defend it this time!
