The uneducated peasants who watched Shakespeare's plays were referred to as groundlings. And, while we don't use chamberpots or wear corsets, we too are "unqualified" lovers of art. Join us each episode as we thoroughly talk through books, albums, and movies in a way suitable for the riff-raff.

    Hunt for the Wilderpeople

    Hunt for the Wilderpeople

    We live the skux life.
    We cover gore and haikus.
    And Brad is there too.
     
    (In other words, Matthew and Olivia watched Hunt for the Wilderpeople with their buddy Bradley and talked about sad hiccups, unspoken love, rights to the birthday song, their ignorance of New Zealand child guardianship laws, Brad’s livestream, dead dogs, fungus, bad New Zealand accent attempts, and the worst possible hat.)
