  • Vivo

    Dave and Justin discuss Vivo, the #1 show on Netflix this week. Here’s the official synopsis: A music-loving kinkajou embarks on the journey of a lifetime to fulfill his destiny and deliver a love song for an old friend. Dave is disturbed that the film failed to properly address the socio-political issues surround the US embargo against Cuba. Justin wonders if this might be an anti-environmentalism film secretly funded by the oil and gas industry. Both the lads are confused as to why there is a kinkajou and a basilisk in the film.

Justin was so confused by what was happening that he admits to fast-forwarding through some of the film out of spite.
