| 0:00.0 | This is a brunch pre-oscers mini podcast. |
| 0:02.4 | It contains spoilers, but we can't imagine you care if you haven't seen the movie and you're afraid of spoilers. |
| 0:06.4 | There's no way you would logically seek out a podcast about the movie. |

| 0:55.5 | Is it weird that like a Will Smith movie comes out and you're |
