| 0:00.0 | You know. Hello everyone and welcome to the film cast, a podcast about movies. |
| 0:24.0 | I'm David Chen and do you guys really think the fact that you co-host a |
| 0:27.1 | podcast with me entitles you to plow through the riches of my Emersonian mind? |
| 0:32.2 | Joining me today is Devinder Hardwar. Wow Platinum is also what I said |
| 0:35.8 | the first time I saw Aubrey Plaza and Jeff Kanata. I just like to thank Peter |
