Hey, it's Stephen Thompson. Just a quick thing before we start, this is a special bonus episode of pop culture happy hour.

Usually these mailbag episodes are just for our very special pop culture happy hour plus supporters,

but in the spirit of the season, we thought we'd give everyone a sneak peek into the fun we're having with these every month.

If you're already a

plus supporter, thank you so much. It means a lot to us. But if you're not yet, we hope you'll

What's a movie we hated so much that we walked out on it?

We've got another question from a listener in our mailback today.

I'm Aisha Harris.

And I'm Stephen Thompson.

We are here to talk about the things that make us give up on a movie in this bonus episode of Pop Culture Happy Hour from NPR.

All right. Well, we are, of course, back with another episode just for you, our special plus supporters.

Thank you for being supporters. You've been sending in all your questions for us, Core 4.

So, Aisha, I am a dead ender.

I, first of all, totally, like, putting this out there up front,

I've been doing Pop Culture Happy Hour for more than 15 years,

and certainly have never come close to walking out of a movie that I was seeing for work.
