This week, we try to figure out what FUN really is! Because if we don't understand fun, how can we understand fun in movies?
We're talking potato chips, Funyuns, gummy snacks, and Ghanoush! We get into old video games, Sonic and Tails, entertaining Al art and the unmatched energy of Cedar Point! We remember hanging out in Michigan, hitting Blimpy Burger, playing pinball, and watching Ice Age! We talk clowns—real clowns—huge shoes, spinning bow ties, never-ending napkins! All this and more as we dive headfirst into the Fun-O-Meter! It's FUN WITH FAMILY!
