2:25 - REVIEW - “The Iron Claw” (2023) - spoiler-free.

At some point, and I won’t say when, we do just devolve into “taking the piss” out of England. Apologies to England.

Also, Lily James, if you're listening to this, I am divorced and I'm ready for our dream romance to begin. Finally we can be together. Why won't you reply to my letters? I know it's crazy, I know I constantly make fun of your country. I'm just an American cowboy who doesn't follow rules. I could be your wild stallion. Think about it. I'll wait for you....

2:00 - Burning your tongue and drooling are the quickest paths to feeling like a total fucking loser.

5:48 - RECOMMENDATION - “Succession” - Spoiler-free.  

We then get into a discussion of the right and wrong way to end a TV show. I don’t think we spoil any, but we emphasize “The Sopranos”, “How I Met Your Mother”, “Seinfeld”, “Breaking Bad”, “Better Call Saul”, “LOST”, “Curb Your Enthusiasm”.

29:00 - RECOMMENDATION - “The Bear” - Season 1 & 2, spoiler-free.
