This is a brunch pre-Oskers mini podcast. It contains spoilers, but we can't imagine you care.

0:05.2

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

0:12.2

Let us begin. Joe Joe Rabbit. A delightful movie from Tycho Waititi. Yes, possibly one of the most

0:20.5

delightful movies of the year.

0:21.7

Pretty close to that and peanut butter falcon.

0:23.4
