It's the return of the Baba Yaga! David and Ted invite you to a watch-along of one of their favorite movies from 2019, John Wick Chapter 3: Parabellum. If you're new to our watch-along series, here are some helpful tips/disclaimers: First, if you haven't seen the movie at least once already, we HIGHLY suggest you watch it before you enjoy it with us!
