Hey, we had a podcast episode drop last week and it was a real hoot! What is it, you ask? Well, it’s an audio program made available in digital format for automatic download over the Internet but there’s no time for formal definitions - we have spoof movies to discuss!
Take to the skies with us as we tell you all about the movies Airplane! and They Came Together, which are both hilarious. You can say that again. All about the movies Airplane! and They Came Together, which are both hilarious. Tell me about it. Ok ok, we won’t do *that* but we will do anything for love.
Ahaha so many jokes! And in all seriousness, like movies can be for so many, we hope we can also be a light for you all during these dark times. Stick with us, kids. Surely, that’s not too tall of an order. And don’t call me Shirley.

3) The best soup flavor…ever?
4) A very serious actor acting very seriously
BLIMPETS
5) A genuinely spooky King “Dollar Baby”
