We Movie Mangle the Rise of Skywalker and then talk about how the ‘rona has killed our workout routines in Lift Off. But we end with a little Questions Nobody Asked to liven things up and head into a new week thoroughly confused.

We start on a high note with Good News Bears and then move on to annoying ceiling squirrels and basketball court stick-ups. Also on the agenda are quarantine feelings, video game escapism, and the next Movie Mangling title. Truly an ep. befitting our 1 year podcast anniversary!
