0:18.6 | How's it going Nathan? |
0:19.6 | I'm okay. I'm mourning the loss of movie pass. |
0:23.0 | Wait, what happened? I didn't realize that movie pass is gone. |
0:26.0 | movie pass is significantly diminished. |
0:30.0 | It is not the past it once was. |
0:34.0 | So wait, what happened? |
0:35.0 | It's half the past it once was. |
0:37.0 | It's less than half the past it once was. |
0:39.0 | It's, it ain't shit. |
0:41.0 | Now. |
0:42.0 | Well, so they've just added restriction on top of restriction on top of restriction on top of |

0:47.8 | So one of the first things they did was they limited it to three movies a month instead of you know one movie per day |
0:55.2 | it went down to three movies per month which still is a bargain for ten bucks right |
1:00.2 | i mean one movie ticket depending where you go can be 15 or 20 dollars so yeah it's that that part if it was just three movies a month that would be fine but it's also now they're limiting it to a certain number like they're telling you what |

1:37.0 | So I haven't been able to use it once in the last couple weeks and I'll keep it for another few weeks and see if I get any use of it at all but if not it's looking like I'm going to cancel it. I mean it was too good to be true. |
1:50.0 | Yeah, yeah. And I loved it for a while. Hopefully I will continue to go to the movies a lot as a result of this, but I'm just going to have to buy tickets. Like I went and saw Black clansmen the other night. That movie was fucking awesome. Highly recommended. |
2:04.7 | Spike Lee film really, really great. But yeah, I had to buy a ticket for it. It was a shame. |
2:10.0 | Yeah. That's interesting because I have it and the last time I tried to use it, you're right, it was restricted in terms of times and I just didn't use it and I guess it's dead now. |
