In the Heights Review

The boys find themselves doing something new and planning ahead for once on this podcast. A prerecorded segment for the latest Disney+ drop of Cruella will be featured on this week's episode while Evan is on vacation. Cody takes the reins and steers forward for the rest of the show by continuing the tradition and playing a game to determine which dalmatian he would be. Also returning is Conner, a featured regular guest on STR, to discuss the upcoming video game adaptation of Borderlands. It is all whacky, it all chaotic, but it is all 100% fun.

(3:00) - Cruella 

(25:01) - What 101 Dalmatian is Cody?

A Quiet Place Part II Review 

STR has assembled an elite crew (just Evan and Cody) to pull off the ultimate podcast heist (talk about Zach Snyder's Army of the Dead)!!! The boys break down what works and what doesn't about Snyder's new zombie film. After that it's a Cody created game called WWE Movie Smackdown (or Dream Horse for short.) We close things out with a chat about some of the movies that we haven't been able to discuss on the show. Enjoy!

**Side note** There is a slight audio malfunction between 13:15 - 13:30, Cody probably dished out a scorching hot take that is now forever lost.
