This week, Tiny and I share our thoughts on the incredible HBO miniseries, Chernobyl. After a brief non-spoiler review, we dive into what we loved and were horrified by in Craig Mazin’s miniseries. Then, for potpourri, we talk about Dark Phoenix, Bodyguard, Fargo, and I lament the amount of balls I keep juggling.

This week’s stinger comes from our Patreon-exclusive recording: 034 - OV B-Roll - “Now, I Can Fix ‘Er” - Catreon, Drippy Air Conditioner, Popcorn at the Movies, Rocketman Expectations, and The Twilight Zone - June 11, 2019
