    This is a special episode where we discuss two movies that Leo didn't have any interest in seeing. This is the second take. Without assigning blame, the first take didn't get recorded, and we mostly just talked about the ideas of queerness as displayed in Supertroopers. Unfortunately, most of what made it into the second take was a discussion about what movies should be named in Spanish. Enjoy! And apologies about the sound quality. We now have it sorted.
