'No Hard Feelings' but this movie was a doozy Sep 20, 2023

Show notes

Hello fello cinephiles! In this episode of Cinebuds, Kristopher and Dori try to say good things about the new Jennifer Lawrence film, 'No Hard Feelings'. But honestly, they didn't really like the movie. *uncomfy face*
The buds welcomed Lawrence's return to acting, but really wanted stronger writing and more humor from the plot. Aside from that, they also took a break to explore a part of the DC universe and more.
