Okay, here goes another. This is on the short list of like, oh boy, I wonder what this episode will be like for these ones.

0:07.2

So this is a brunch pre-oscler's many podcasts to contain spoilers, but we can't imagine you care.

0:11.5

If you haven't seen the movie and you're afraid of spoilers, there's no way you would logically seek out a podcast about the movie.

0:18.1

And honestly, I cannot believe there's a human being alive who hasn't

0:22.1

seen this movie at this point. Let us begin. Don't look up. This is an Adam McKay film,

0:30.4

famously. It's funny that, like, you are turning so fast on Adam McKay. Oh, yeah, but like, not over
