Season 3, Episode 09 

August 13th 2022

I had every intention to release this episode earlier, but timekeeping is not one of my strengths and is something that has plagued the podcast.

However I had a lot of fun making this episode and getting to compare a movie I unironically love despite its flaws to its decades-later sequel. I tried to construct any negativity I had in a way that was comparing and contrasting, rather than simply slamming a piece of work, as I don’t want to be that kind of podcast.
