0:00.0	Hello everyone and welcome to the Slash Filmcast. I'm David Chanin with me R,
0:23.8	Steve Indra Hardware and Jeff Canada and the whole gang is back together again. Hey everyone. How's it going?
0:29.8	Yeah, it's been like weeks since we've all been together. Jeff's been out from Ice
0:36.4	Urgery. I was in Iceland last week on vacation, but now we are back today with a regular episode.
0:44.0	What we're going to be doing tonight is discussing some what we've been watching and then moving on
0:48.6	into an in-depth review of Brad Pitt's new movie, Add Astra. You can find more episodes of this
0:54.8	podcast at slashfilmcast.com, email us at slashfilmcast at gmail.com. I thought before we get to what we've
1:01.6	been watching, we could take a moment to kind of discuss what's been going on. Jeff, what is the
1:07.5	state of your eye at this point? The state of my eye. It is doing a lot better. Thank you for asking.
1:15.9	It has been a long road and it is still we're not at the end of the road. I still
1:22.4	mostly can't see out of it, but I'm also mostly pain free, which is pretty awesome,

1:37.6	and helping out around the house. I'm basically able to do most of what I have done
1:43.2	and save for exercising and lifting heavy things. I'm still not allowed to do that. I also can't
1:49.6	sleep on my back, which has been actually the worst part of not being able to sleep in one
1:55.2	very specific position. I'm hoping there's not too much more of that. I have a doctor's appointment
2:00.9	on Thursday, so hopefully I'll get good news there. I still have a bubble that I can see
2:07.8	in my right eye all the time. The bubble is shrinking as it's supposed to. It's a gas that was
2:13.2	injected into my eye that is now dissipating. It's getting smaller and smaller. As it's shrinking,
2:19.1	I'm able to see over and around it, which is nice, but I still can't quite see everything out of
2:24.8	the eye, so it's still a little challenging to play video games and watch things that are really
2:29.8	long, but it's getting there. I'm doing well. Glad to hear. That is such a massive improvement from
