We are alive, we are alive in Los Angeles to talk about the 1997 sci-fi classic,

1:24.1

Absolution. It is a movie where you could easily be confused because I thought it was

1:30.8

the ab solution with Mario Lopez, which I found out is an actual real thing. He does have a

1:38.4

workout video called the ab solution. He also has one called the ab final solution. That's really

1:46.3

don't watch that. It was a weird period in Mario Lopez's life. I was thinking before the show

welcome to the stage, Mr. Jason Manzucas. What's up, jerks? How are we doing, Lago? Yeah, that's right.

3:21.1

I don't. I watched this movie this afternoon, pop. Don't remember it at all. It is a zero to me.

3:30.6

This movie is really odd because- Is it? I'd love for you to tell me about it. I just watched that
