Hello friends!
We took 1 week to recalibrate as a podcast team due to SAG-AFTRA choosing to join the strike with the WGA. As a podcast team, we absolutely support and stand in solidarity with the SAG-AFTRA/WGA. At this time, we are not reviewing any new films from struck companies. Once we have more direction from SAG-AFTRA, we will keep you all updated!
For now, we are revisiting any film pre-2023! So today's episode is dedicated to the David Fincher masterpiece, Gone Girl!
Please enjoy!

I apologize for the audio quality. Some settings were messed up and muffled my side of the recording, but this will not be the case for future episodes!
Sydney and I are jumping straight into the latest movie to cause quite the stir on the internet. The best CBM ever? The worst movie ever? We break down and unpack all our thoughts on the latest DC film.
The last 20 minutes are then dedicated to some movies that we thought were incredibly overhyped.
