So no more running.

I need to misbehave.

Shit an your mother!

God damn it!

I'm sorry myself into a criminal institution.

Is it any wonder then that I've chosen not to learn the intricacies of an antiquated and idiotic system?

I think not.

Hello and welcome to Maximum Film Episode 416.

I'm your host, Kevin Avery.

And joining me as always.

He's a film critic and author of the book Hollywood Pride and it's August.

So he's counting down the days till his Christmas tree can go back up.

I know he is.

It's Alonzo Doralde.

What's good? Oh, Kevin, you know me so well. That is actually true. This is the time of year that I just wish, A, it weren't so flipping hot, and B, like, why is it not Christmas yet? But, you know, you have to learn to appreciate the signposts along the way. And for me, one of the signposts of late summer that the holiday season is coming is when they start unveiling the ridiculous pumpkin spice products.

I don't partake. I love cinnamon and clove, but there's just something about the artificial

pumpkin spicery of it all that I just find kind of off-putting. It turns just

everything tastes like a Yankee candle. But I do love seeing just how crazy it's going to get.

Now, is anything going to unseat the pumpkin spice-scented dude wipes? I don't know. That is the

bar that we're working with. What?

We have, that was, that's a previous year's winner.

But I think we have a, we have a ringer for 2025, which is the laughing cow pumpkin spice cheese wedges.
