Hanako (@fandomhybrid), Carl (@robominister), Eric (@bullittwho), Charles (@hal2814), Kai (@yogikai) and Cat (@fancyfembot) are doing what the cool kids are doing and recording a post-apocalyptic video chat.

There is even a NON-SPOILER review of The Walking Dead? How did we manage that?? There is a good Watchmen segment. They try to convince Cat to watch The Witcher again because she quit after the humpback sex scene.

The final turds are:
Men In Black International
Ad Astra

3) Turdage Per Dollar: Was there a big budget and nothing to show for it? Did they use the budget to create an effective film or was it wasted?
4) Fury Upon Exit: Were you pissed off when you were done watching this film? Do you still have residual fury when you talk about it?
