FIRST 32:40 are a spoiler-free review with our See It/Skip It verdict

AFTER 32:40 it's a full spoiler review

This week we're headed to Victory and trying not to ask any questions like "what are the men doing?", "what do they do at work all day?" and "why isn't Florence Pugh doing publicity for the film?" as Ian and Agent Scott from SpyHards talk about the Harry Style spittake in Don't Worry Darling?  What exactly constitutes an open ending? Would Shia LaBeouf have done a better job here than Harry Styles?  When did Chris Pine turn into a proper character actor?  Is Florence Pugh a generational talent? Does the story here hold up to closer scrutiny?  How vigorously should one eat their popcorn under certain circumstances? Find out the answers to these questions and more in our "See It or Skip It" review of Don't Worry, Darling and then we tell you whether you should SEE IT or SKIP IT.
