Our friend Chris Weitz knocked politely and requested to be allowed into the lion's den, becoming the first director to come on a full episode to discuss his OWN work. That's right, on this Flop House we discuss AfrAId, a movie written and directed by (checks notes) Chris Weitz. And surprisingly (?) it's one of our most joyful episodes. God bless you, brave sir.
