I've seen this movie twice now, and I cried both times. I have been looking forward to this movie since it was announced—it exceeded expectations.


*I am currently in the process of trying to repair my camera/get a new one, so please be patient with me, as the next few episodes will be audio-only. Thank you!*

Cillian Murphy? Emily Blunt? Florence Pugh? Robert Downey Jr.? Rami Malek? I mean... what more could you ask for in a cast?



Long time, no see! I am (hopefully) back for more regularly posted episodes. *I am currently in the process of trying to repair my camera/get a new one, so please be patient with me, as the next few episodes will be audio-only. Thank you!*

I went and saw M3GAN for my birthday on Friday the 13th. Was it worth it? 100%

Does Megan listen to punk rock? Is she truly a horse girl at heart? You decide. I apologize for what sounds like an airplane taking off constantly in the background. My microphone decided to pick up my 16 year old laptop trying not to overheat and explode.
