Well, welcome to Michael and Us. I'm Will Sloan. Here as always with Luke Savage, welcome back, everyone.

And it's fun week on the Mike Linus podcast. That's right. This episode and the next one are both topics that we chose because

we wanted to have some fun. Yeah, you know, sometimes on this show, we'll do an art film

that's kind of interesting, maybe requires a bit of work, a bit of research, and then I don't

know, we'll do a shitty right-wing action movie or something. Well, this week, we're throwing that

formula out the window.

We're doing two extremely good, excellent pieces of filmmaking. No, I'm just kidding.

There are pieces of something. I'll tell you that. Yeah, yeah. Stay tuned for, you know,

what's coming next on the pod. But this one, this is going to be kind of a chill app. I have a few

political items to discuss off the top.

And then we decided, or rather, you know, one of the co-host bullied the other into a Tooby movie because it had a certain actor in it and he liked the title.

Okay, to be clear, I was also up against certain constraints.

We had a time limit on recording today,

so we needed something that was in the, let's say, 70-minute range. And yes, there was an actor

I wanted to see, a title I liked. I really wanted to watch it. I would have watched it,

regardless of any time limits. Before we go further, I forgot to promote this last week.
