    This week, Demarco joins the show to talk about his favorite movie. "The Dark Knight." It's clear he loves it because of Heath Ledger's performance as The Joker. We talk about so much in this episode from minor details we picked up on to how DC was on top before MCU even came in.

    To relax he watches Demon Slayer and Yu-Gi-Oh. He thinks more people should check out Amazon Prime Video's "Upload" and "Panic," plus Netflix's "The 100."

    This week, Andranee joins the show to talk about her favorite movie, 'The Princess and the Frog.' We get to the root of her love for all things Disney and how Tiana gave her the representation she and her daughter need.

    Andranee thinks more people should consider watching Discovery Channel's 'Expedition Unknown,' which chronicles the adventures of Josh Gates "as he investigates iconic unsolved events, lost cities, buried treasures and other puzzling stories." Plus, to relax she watches A&E's 'First 48.'

  • 59 - Hacks

    This week, McKenzie and I think you should consider watching HBO's Hacks. It's definitely one of our favorite watches of 2021.

    It's about "a dark mentorship forms between Deborah Vance, a legendary Las Vegas comic, and an entitled, outcast 25-year-old comedy writer." The entire first season is available and we know we will get a second season! We don't spoil the show, so you can listen before binge watching.
