Our Friends Said They'd Listen

We watched Mask of the Phantasm on a 4K OLED TV and it looked preeeetty good. This episode also features timely Last Jedi talk!

We feel obligated to warn you upfront: We can't give you a satisfactory answer to the question posed in the title.

We stayed up late and recorded in a parking garage to bring you our unfiltered thought on The Last Jedi. *Spoilers abound*

We were disappointed with the movie and not just because it didn't teach us how to be ninjas. Listen for more info (regular info - not how-to-be-a-ninja info -- just wanted to make that clear).

What do Inherit the Wind, Annabelle: Creation, and Misery have in common? This isn't the set up to a joke, we were just hoping to crowdsource the episode description. Anybody?
