#82 – Coronavirus Grips the Entertainment Industry & the World and Diving Into “Super Size Me 2: Holy Chicken!”

March 16, 2020

In Episode 82, we talk about the elephant in the room (or rather, the disease in our world) with a wide-ranging discussion on coronavirus. We cover everything from what we’re doing to help stop the spread to how it’s affecting the entertainment industry to how we’re trying to employ social distancing.

In the Premiere Topic, we do a deep dive into the 2017 film “Super Size Me 2: Holy Chicken!” from filmmaker Morgan Spurlock. We discuss the uncomfortable revelations surrounding the star/director of the film, our thoughts on the film itself and whether or not the content presented made us think twice about the food we consume.

PLUS, in our teasers, Maureen rights a wrong and Josh recommends not one but TWO excellent climbing documentaries.
