S02E10: Me Doing “Nacho Libre” Quotes
Presenting another 5 min episode! In this one I "interpret," in other words, "act out" quotes from a movie. “Nacho Libre” is a movie that may grow on you or not. In my case, after thinking it was “meh,” I came to really love watching it multiple times....
S02E09: 47 Meters Down
This scary shark thriller is now streaming on Netflix. It's definitely the ride of a lifetime but without the filmmaking craftmanship of "Jaws" or "The Shallows." This is a spoiler free preview. We may have one of the scarier,
