| 0:00.0 | Hello, everyone and welcome to a brand new episode of the Cinefiles live here on the Cinefiles |
| 0:18.8 | YouTube channel on this Sunday afternoon, at least here on the West Coast. |
| 0:22.8 | Thank you, everyone who's joining us. Sorry, we're a few minutes late, but I am John Roka. That is Steve |
| 0:28.4 | Morris, and we were having some conversations before we started about where we're at in the world, |
| 0:34.0 | and we just wanted to kind of finish out one of our impromptu shorts that we did not |
| 0:37.9 | record before we started the show. But thank you and everyone is joining us. Steve, how are you? |
| 0:41.7 | How are things? How's your Sunday? I'm doing good. It's funny to me that that now you and I just |
