Erik Matti's latest film has dropped, and we have some thoughts. As the first Upstream Original, A Girl and A Guy is raunchy, it's sexy, and yet the message isn't towards us, his first audience to his older and bolder works. This specifically is dedicated to the generation of his kids, the Generation Z. But what exactly makes the generation Z? What are millennials?

Caution: Spoilers include some feminist discussion, behind the scenes marketing and whatnot.

We'd love to have Alexa Miro on the episode.

Who would you want to play Raf if it weren't Rob Gomez?

मैं पाठ की एक यादृच्छिक दीवार हूं। मैं इस बारे में सोच सकता हूं कि कैसे जल्दी लोमड़ी को धीमी खरगोश मिला, लेकिन यह सब पूंजीवाद के बच्चे के बारे में है, मैं वास्तव में कुछ स्थितियों को जारी रखने में बिंदु नहीं देखता जब बातचीत शुरू करने वाले व्यक्ति को एस्पर्टेंटो की एक चाट पता नहीं है, तो आप जानते हैं ?
