0:16.3

History Month. I have had such a blast doing this. I hope you guys have loved these episodes as much as I

0:22.1

have loved talking about them, like these movies. Honestly, what a fucking lineup. Like, got to pat

0:27.2

myself on the back here. What a fucking banger of a lineup we have had this month, if I do say so myself.
