LaRonn is back, and joining us is Ashley Parks, actor and creative. They both star in "9INETY", a 90's style modern sitcom. We talked about film and culture - how we're experiencing a bloom of great films made by great creators, but also how unoriginal other movies can be. We also discussed what it's like to be people of color in this day and age and what the future may hold. You can watch all of LaRonn's short films on his YouTube channel, which Ashley is often a part of.

Sable wanted to talk about conspiracy theories on the podcast, so we put on our tin foil hats and discussed crazy stuff! We talked about the Mandela Effect, 9/11, Flat Earth Theory, and Simulation Theory, among other things! You can find Sable's stuff on Instagram @sableann_creationsA note about audio: for some reason, both of our microphones ended up a little distorted, and mine actually cut out at times, so in order to hear me during those times, I had to amplify Sable's audio, so you'll hear some noise when that happens. I'm not sure what happened (perhaps the government is onto us!), but I will definitely double/triple check next time!
