OV311 - cOVid-19 Film Festival Days 4 & 5 (Amazon Prime Weekend) - Jay and Silent Bob Reboot, Never Surrender, Thunder Road, and HBO's Watchmen

2 hours 2 minutes

COVID-19 is sweeping the nation. So, naturally, I am coping by watching movies and podcasting about them as if they were part of a Film Festival. Here is my coverage of day 4 & 5: Amazon Prime Weekend. For the spotlight review, Tiny calls in to talk about HBO’s Watchmen with me in a non-spoiler and spoiler section.

This week’s stinger is an outtake from our recording.
