Join by co-hosts, Richard and Brian. Guys, did it feel weird not going to the theater?

0:32.0

It felt weird for me. It felt like my first week because usually I'll go even if we don't do a review. Even if we're talking to us the next week, I'll still go because there's something out that I want to see. But this weekend, I was like, yeah, I think I'm fine. It was funny because Project Hail Mary was such a huge boost. And it was like, man, this is awesome. Yeah, I was like, maybe go see that. But it's still, it's still in a place where you can't get a seat. So yeah, not trying to dip back in yet.

do well, and have an audience.

2:04.7

So it's a good time around these parts, I guess.

2:08.1

I'm taking seven teenagers to see Mario on Thursday night,

2:16.0

like at 9.30 showing. None of them related to youth. None of them are mine. No, I don't know any. I don't know which kids. Yeah. And that's part of the problem, Brian, that we've been trying to say, you know. It's I don't think you're up to anything. It's just like we said, the optics are weird. Yeah. You know what?
