Just Blane and Coco tackle the 2026 Oscar Best Picture winner, One Battle After Another, in a conversation that goes far beyond the screen. Directed by Paul Thomas Anderson and starring Leonardo DiCaprio, Sean Penn, and Benicio del Toro, this film postures itself as a Western but delivers something infinitely more complex: a moral reckoning with intergenerational guilt, inherited responsibility, and the cyclical nature of struggle.

In this episode, we explore the film's central question—Are you responsible for what your parents and grandparents did?—and debate where personal accountability begins. We discuss the "boss battle" metaphor that defines the movie's structure, unpack the nuances of dark comedy as social commentary, and ask whether this film truly deserved its Oscar. Along the way, we touch on decolonization, pattern-breaking, and the hard inner work required to interrupt cycles of harm.

Whether you're an Oscar completionist, a Paul Thomas Anderson devotee, or someone wrestling with your own legacy, this conversation will stay with you long after you press stop. Join the Freqs and let us know where you land on the debate.

TMI for everybody watching. Didn't see Blaine from the waist down, didn't know.

speaker-0 (00:26)
What was going on there? I thought it was normal that people don't wear pants when they work from home. yeah, I thought that was a thing that we did during the pandemic. Yep, yeah. What did you? You know what we should do? We should talk about our family double date that we had this weekend. Gosh, and we never saw each other. We had a double date. We went to the same thing.

speaker-1 (00:36)
No,

never saw each other.

Did you feel like you wasted? You were like, I'm gonna send you these tickets. And I'm like,

speaker-0 (00:51)

I hope that you guys had a good time. went to the bees game. Yes, we all. We all went. We just didn't go together. Same seats. Ask each other. I invited you to the Salt Lake Bees game. It got some tickets and me and my family went. And we left before you even got there. Yeah, yeah, they ended up doing two games.

speaker-1 (00:55)
Different games.

my gosh.

Yeah, because you were the first game. Two

games, double header. That's right. Look at you, Sporty that means. Look at me. Double header. I OK. So there's another game. So we were going to show up at 6. We were going to maybe hit the second game. I think the second game was starting. we walked in. were like, wow, what a nice day. It's so beautiful outside. And oh, this is so great. And we tried to find our seats. And we were like, oh.

We think those are our seats, but maybe there's people sitting there. So maybe like, I don't know. So maybe we'll find somebody. Well, let's go find food. Let's go find food first. So we went and like looked at the hot dogs and nachos and stuff. And we're like, do you want that? I don't really want that to eat. And I was like telling my husband, should we go find a usher or concierge or, I don't know what they call them at games, but I'm like a staff member. We maybe ask where our seats are. Maybe they can help us find our seats. And my husband was like.

I don't care enough to do that. That's like going one more step into like I really care and I really want to stay and I really want to see this game. It's like I don't really care enough to do that. So we're like, let's go bowling. So we were there maybe 10-15 minutes tops just walked around saw the stadium. It's so clean.

speaker-0 (02:29)
It's nice.

Yeah, it

is. It's very nice, clean, well taken care of.

speaker-1 (02:37)
We're just not enough baseball fans, I guess, to make it like, we've got to stay.

speaker-0 (02:42)
I'm like the opposite though, because I went and I said I could come every day and just sit here and just watch. I don't care who's playing, I don't care any of that. I could see it. Yeah, I enjoy it. It was hard with the kids. Ashton saw Bumble, the bee, and took off running and grabbed him and almost tackled the bee. ⁓

speaker-1 (03:05)
mean

as shy as he is with me, took me a long time to get him to warm up to me. But guess I just needed to dress like a bumblebee and I would have been fine. Yeah, absolutely. little did I know? I'll remember next time.

speaker-0 (03:10)
It did, it does take a while.

You got any fun follows? Our fun follows are taking off. Hey, Natalia took off. Yeah, and she saw it. Thank you, Natalia. Sweet. Who do you have? Who do you have?

speaker-1 (03:23)
We are Monday thing.

Okay.

I don't know this person in person, I've been following this guy called the greedy peasant for I'm gonna go find him on Instagram, TikTok, believe, and Facebook and all the...

speaker-0 (03:38)
Alright, let's look him up.

I

got him right here. The greedy peasant. Tell me about this guy here.

speaker-1 (03:46)
Really peasant. I don't know, something about him just tickles me. He is like really into Catholicism, mythology and things like that, but he's ⁓ obviously homosexual. They do this big pride event at a cathedral every year, but he's also really into this. calls it the Saint Snap system. He created

where their hats and wardrobe covered in snaps and he loves tassels. Like he just, he's obsessed. I am obsessed now because he's obsessed. Cause I watch him like snap together these costumes. He has this wonderful costume with St. Bartholomew where it's a flayed flesh over his shoulder and the rest of it's just red dripping beads of blood rubies all over. I am so tickled by this guy. He has something called semp-

speaker-0 (04:26)
⁓ yeah, yeah.

speaker-1 (04:38)
where in September he goes around to all the cemeteries and finds like gravestones that have tassels engraved into them and looks at them and reviews them and it's a blast.

speaker-0 (04:49)
His bio says, a tassel archivist, snap entrepreneur, and medieval pageant designer. He is? I like this.

speaker-1 (04:59)
So

funny. Sometimes he has this like these reels where ⁓ relics are personalities talking to each other and he gives them all character.

speaker-0 (05:10)
This is wild. He's got 309,000 followers, so he doesn't need our help to get more.

speaker-1 (05:15)
And it's just such a specific thing. So specific. He talks about Palm Sunday and how everybody gets a palm leaf to play with in church and they can make crosses with them and you can steal them and when you have enough of them you're rich with palm leaves. It's so silly but I promise you, if you follow him, you're gonna have the best time of your life.

speaker-0 (05:36)
So fun. Greedy dot peasant. That's who he is. That's my fan. He's followed by our own Nicole Taylor too, right here. You know, Nicole.

speaker-1 (05:40)
today.

I believe it. Nicole would love, yeah.

speaker-0 (05:47)
She

helps. I don't want to I don't want to give all the credit to her, but she does. She helps get day breaks, diversity, what is it, diversity.

speaker-1 (05:58)
diversity, Daybreak diversity and inclusion group. I volunteer with them and help them.

speaker-0 (06:01)
You go, yeah, yeah, yeah, but... Yeah,

we both do, we both do. Yeah. It is Movie Monday. And... Go. This is a big one. I called this one... months ago. Remember that? Yes. If I was in front of my computer You'd get all the credit. Yeah. I'd play the clip right now where I said, one battle after another is gonna win the Oscar. Now, it wasn't that hard of a movie to for me.

speaker-1 (06:08)
All right, here we go. Let's go. yeah.

sure did.

speaker-0 (06:31)
But if you look at the other movies that were nominated, that's a pretty bold choice to pick. Yeah. Because there was like 10 movies. There's 10 movies now, and there was other big time hitters, heavy hitters, Mm-hmm. Yeah. You know, that was a big one. Which we're going to cover. ⁓ yeah. We're getting to that one, too.

speaker-1 (06:47)
April is going to be a big award ⁓ list of movies and we're really focusing on movies this month a lot more.

speaker-0 (06:52)
Yeah.

And one

battle after another is, it's like a ⁓ boss battle. Like if you're playing a video game, it's like a boss level and the boss just keeps respawning. That's what this is. It's like if you beat something, you breathe for two seconds and boom, next battle loads in better graphics, worse consequences. That's what this movie.

I kind of put this movie, honestly I didn't watch the trailer for this movie. I'm a huge Leo fan, I love Leo. yeah. I will watch anything he's in and I didn't watch the trailer for this. I just knew it was going to be good. But I thought it was going to be like a western. I had a different feel, different vibe. And I thought it was going be like a western and they were just going be fighting like just one battle after another.

speaker-1 (07:31)
you

speaker-0 (07:51)
Yeah, that's what I was thinking and then I start watching it and it's movies a whole lot deeper than that. Yeah, would've been awesome

speaker-1 (07:57)
really deep themes in this if you really dig.

speaker-0 (07:59)
that reflects what's going on. Yeah. As usual, it reflects our society and what we're looking at and what we're doing. And a lot of it does go with it. And this is grounded in truth. This movie is very much grounded in truth.

speaker-1 (08:15)
which is why I was a little bit uncomfortable with it. got to about the scene with the Christmas adventures. Which I'm still a little bit like, wait, is that a real thing? That sounds...

speaker-0 (08:23)
⁓ yeah, yeah, yeah

Probably a real thing with a different name.

speaker-1 (08:31)
That

sounds like a kids club. Anyway, ⁓ but that scene, we got to that part of the movie. That's when I started to be like, ooh, I'm really uncomfortable. The truth of this movie is just a little, it hits a little too close to the fears and the problems that we're having that reflect some of our feelings about where society is right now. It was just, it was hard.

speaker-0 (08:47)
Yes, yes.

speaker-1 (08:56)
wasn't one of those like, I'm watching this to escape the things that are hard about life right now. It was like, no, this one's really gonna dig right into that stuff that's hard right now.

speaker-0 (09:06)
And this movie though is, it's hard to It's hard to watch.

speaker-1 (09:14)
Yeah, because the fight's never really done. mean, think that's what you're...

speaker-0 (09:19)
I was looking and thinking about this movie one battle after another and I was thinking like I said a minute ago Western action one battle after another but this movie is really about the quiet battles Yeah, it's the getting out of bed when your brain is loud showing up when nobody claps holding your integrity When it would be easier to fold and that's what this movie really is showing, you know because

Yeah, it's it's hard to become somebody that somebody wants you to be without losing yourself. And we see some of that in this movie. And like I said, Leo, I mean, look at the star set of cast. You were gonna get a killer movie anyway. Yes. With the people that were in it. And we keep saying it's a reflection and it's like a mirror.

It's the cultural layers. We live in a highlight real culture right now. We want them burst. Everybody posting wins. Nobody posting the war it took to get there. And that's what we see in one battle after another is the war.

speaker-1 (10:36)
Yeah, and you're putting out like a like personal battles that we all go through to like each one of us and what we've been through and I'm gonna talk a little bit about inherited trauma in second but ⁓ but I I thought of that more as like when I look at what the women's movement went through in the 60s and 70s and you know Gloria Steinem and all the things that you know we were fighting for equality Harvey Milk and LBGQT ⁓

you know, fighting for justice, fighting to be seen, fighting to have our place in the world. And you're like, you just want to hope so much that we've made progress. You want to hope that like at some point you've won the battle and like, OK, same sex marriages are now legal. we've we've we've reached that hump. That means that battle is over. And then it's never really done. And you get into another place, a political climate where you're going, ⁓ wait, ⁓ we're still

fighting. Yeah, we're still. That's how I felt about one battle after another. It felt like a representation of that. Like we're not done.

speaker-0 (11:42)
We're gonna,

and I think that it really does show what's going on. It's like, there's always gonna be another battle. Too comfortable, and that's what this movie really does. does do that. And you've got people in this movie like Sean Penn, and there are real people like this. That's why I was have been little exaggerated, but there are people on that side that are very much like Lockjaw.

speaker-1 (11:51)
So don't get too comfortable ever.

Yeah. Yeah.

speaker-0 (12:11)
I love the name too, by the way. I love the lock jaw name, but he was the epitome of what...

Yeah. Is looked down upon by a lot These hidden things. But then again, he could have been the protagonist to some.

speaker-1 (12:28)
Right. Which is exactly the point, I think.

speaker-0 (12:31)
Which is,

we can't draw that line and that's crazy. And it's one of these movies that you can't draw the line on who's wrong and right unless you believe in what you're looking at. Either way. convictions. And we're saying this and trying to tiptoe around the political lines, but it's not black and white. And this movie wasn't black and white. Yeah. We see all this stuff. We see Perfidia, the mom. We see her leave.

speaker-1 (12:59)
Yes, which yeah, I mean that's a great point to bring up first and foremost just that little micro piece of the storyline is ⁓ her being a radical rebellion activist and so passionate. mean even like her family members are telling Leo's character in the beginning like you can't cage her down. is you got to be able to keep up with her. If you're going to be with her, you got to you got to step up because she

strong convictions and she's willing to go all the way, all the way for what she believes. And then ⁓ getting pregnant and having a baby didn't change that about her. And you know, there's a lot of people that are gonna judge her choice to leave, to continue the fight, meaning she had to leave her child behind and say, what a terrible mother, how awful she is. And you know, that's not a choice I would have made, but also this movie brings up themes of, it, what's...

what is the priority personal or political and is it exclusive is it one or the other or can it be both can she be a good mother and this yeah but this like i have to do this even if it means essentially personally abandoning my child but really i'm fighting for a better world for my child so

speaker-0 (14:10)
put this.

speaker-1 (14:21)
You know, and the themes of like, are much more expected to give up what they find personally part of their identity when they become mothers over men, right?

speaker-0 (14:34)
In

a circumstance like this, most of the time, it'd be the man leaving, and that'd be okay.

speaker-1 (14:41)
Yeah, they'd be like, well, you know, it that he abandoned his family, also look at him being a hero.

speaker-0 (14:46)
And

now there's a strong single mother. That's what people would look at. And I think this blurs the lines also. Like you're saying, the battle of personal versus political. Is it the same? Is it sacrifice one for the other? If that one happens to be your child, does it matter? Right. And these are all like, this whole movie makes you start thinking about, well, what would I do? ⁓

Well, who is right? Well, who is wrong? it's tough to... What battle? For the freqs out there, what battle are you fighting right now that nobody even knows about?

speaker-1 (15:28)
as we are.

speaker-0 (15:29)
We all have them.

speaker-1 (15:31)
Yeah. Battling demons is a pretty common phrase, although I don't personally like that phrase in the healing world. I don't think any of them are actually demons, but ⁓ I do like the context of like we all are... The biggest battle we have to fight is really our own self-doubt and our own personal... You see that in Leo's character in this movie too, where he's kind of playing this unlikely protagonist because he's...

His convictions are not as strong as hers was in the beginning and he's a little bit more of a bumbling idiot, I guess.

speaker-0 (16:07)
I'm gonna throw this out there about Leo's character. Does he have a choice? She left before he got the choice, so now he is... What's he gonna do?

speaker-1 (16:11)
Yeah, no.

I mean, he could have left the baby with somebody else. could have done, I mean, there's a lot of choices that he could have done too and chose to step up and put her in that, a priority. So he, you know, he kind of plays the part, at least of the like, I've aged out of that, at least in the beginning, until he's having to be thrown back into it. He's not gonna do it who is, right?

speaker-0 (16:43)
That's kind of what I was getting at. and that's I think what he Took Sure, he's a bumbling idiot, but he also took on that responsibility Which might have made him more of a bumbling idiot. I Mean it's a parent being a parents

speaker-1 (17:00)
I mean you can judge all you want but really it's like we're all doing our best man. You know you do what you gotta do and he's like I'm not gonna let this happen I have to do something. He may not have quite the skill or the I don't know what what exactly it is that he doesn't have he's a little bit more like okay.

speaker-0 (17:04)
Yeah

He's vaping the whole time. He's using my style, by the way. He had the beanie on, the sunglasses.

speaker-1 (17:29)
I was going say it reminded me a little bit of somebody.

speaker-0 (17:32)
He

did, didn't he? I think they might have ripped some of that from me. I'm going to... I think Leo...

speaker-1 (17:36)
They were like, how do we find... I

want to show like I don't care, but I do. Yeah. Underneath it all.

speaker-0 (17:45)
Leo should come on the show and give me an explanation for why this guy looks like me in them. I'd say you wouldn't say it, but I said it. He looks like me.

speaker-1 (17:50)
That would be.

Like, where did you get this style? Who's your costume designer? Who decided that this is how you needed to play the part?

speaker-0 (18:00)
He even had the plaid

speaker-1 (18:05)
Sweat, yeah, plaid shirts.

speaker-0 (18:07)
He had that on and a beanie and the glasses and was vaping the whole time. Yeah. You tell me. If he would have come in there with a Southern accent and a cowboy hat on every once in a while, I'd have been like, wait a minute. a minute here.

speaker-1 (18:12)
He does what he's...

Well, being a fan of Leo, like you said, I'm a big fan too. I was a fan actually. ⁓ I mean, I know in our generation, was usually Titanic came out. That was a huge.

speaker-0 (18:24)
and everybody else.

speaker-1 (18:34)
For girls my age, that was like, we're all Leo. But I'm actually, I've been a big fan since What's Eating Gilbert Grape. What's Eating Gilbert Grape was my favorite movie growing up. I mean like favorite movie. Which we should do sometime. Whistful Wednesday, we'll do a What's Eating Gilbert Grape. We should do that. Because that is one of my top five movies. yeah.

speaker-0 (18:51)
I love The Beach.

That Leo movie, The Beach, was one of mine and not a lot of people liked that movie. But I always thought, you know what, I'd like to live right there. I would love to live right there. Yeah. One battle after another, absolutely should have won the Oscar. And the cinematography and everything, all of this rolled into one is what made this movie. Where was incredible. Yeah. And it didn't really stand out.

speaker-1 (19:03)
I wasn't mad at it.

speaker-0 (19:21)
It blends with the movie. And that's when you know it's a good soundtrack. Everything fit. I love this scene too where it's near the end and it's the one where they're out in the desert and they're on the road. And that one to me was shot so well. It was beautiful and it was intense. The whole movie was intense.

speaker-1 (19:42)
Yeah, I remember when you first watched it and were like, I was on the edge of my seat, couldn't, I couldn't put in, you know, pick up anything else and just so focused on, I'm like, that's a good movie. When you're like, I don't need my phone, I don't need something else to distract me or to do while I'm watching it. I just wanna like, be really intentional watching it.

speaker-0 (20:00)
And

it's a, it's a, there's some philosophical stuff in there too. And I don't want to get too philosophical because we get the comments out there and say, you stop, stop trying to be too philosophical. You're not very good at it. I'm not doing it. I'm not the one that is a philosopher. But you see all this craziness going on and what they're really showing is the ability to stay grounded.

speaker-1 (20:19)
Aren't we all in the same

speaker-0 (20:29)
while all of this is happening. And that's trying to mirror what you do. Like, do you stay grounded when you've got chaos and you've got one battle after another happening around you? I wish I could do better at it. Yeah, I do too.

speaker-1 (20:41)
little bad at it.

Honestly, in the work that I do in the energy healing world and mystics and being a witch and all of that, I would like to think of myself as like, I'm going get to a point someday where I am so zen. I am a zen master at being completely grounded, calm during a crisis, whatever it is. mean, healers have healing work to do too. But I'm one of those people that just this weekend, Easter, Ostara, all of the things

we were celebrating and I was freaking out trying to figure out how I was gonna get the chicken, we were gonna roast and I was like what are we doing how do we get this to the to my sister's house and all the things you know I'm thinking to myself this is not Zen at all. I mean that's not even the battles that he's fighting. How do you stay connected calm because those are like how do you get the best

speaker-0 (21:27)
No

speaker-1 (21:40)
work done in a moment of crisis, because you really do have to train yourself to stay grounded, stay in that reality. It's not easy. Most of us have a lot of trauma to overcome.

speaker-0 (21:54)
We do. And our trauma is different to other people. Yeah.

speaker-1 (22:00)
There's no one definition for Trump.

speaker-0 (22:02)
Not

everything is going to what what breaks Cocoa's world may not even scratch the surface of mine.

speaker-1 (22:08)
Yeah, which is why, like, my husband's looking at me going, why are you freaking out about the chicken? What is it? I'm like, I don't know. But this feels really important. Yeah. I feel really stressed right now. But that brings up the other theme of this movie, which is the inherited trauma I was going to talk about. ⁓ yeah. Not everything is ⁓ what we've experienced in this lifetime. And Will as character, the daughter, is really showing that some of this is like...

inherited consequences. ⁓

And that brings up a really interesting point of like what our ancestors went through or what we, even our grandparents and parents went through. How much of that do we inherit and take on? I psychology studies this really thoroughly, but it's like some of it is actually their physical responses, their stress responses to things that they pass on to their children because this is what they're experiencing. And so we have to basically deal with consequences of things

we didn't even experience. Like ⁓ a parent whose sibling died ⁓ say drowning. The children never you know drowned or experienced drowning but because their parent had a sibling that drowned they're extremely stressed and nervous around water thus the children inheriting that stress. So we all have like something we're inheriting that we have to deal with energetically in our DNA it's passed on.

and epigenetics. I'm getting into like a whole bunch of cool stuff that I talk about on Practically Magic, so go find that. But this movie does show that, that like sometimes the sins of our fathers, we are the ones who deal. We're the ones who are pattern breakers, ⁓ breaking the chain of those... ⁓

those patterns that hold us hostage. And even for some of us that grew up in Utah, our descendants of, say, Mormon pioneers, who notoriously caused a lot of horribleness in colonization of this Utah area. And there's a lot of things like that that we wrestle with, where we're like, where repercussions made in our generation for the things that our forefathers did we don't necessarily agree with or thought was.

right to do. So here's like this daughter, she has these radical ⁓ parents who've done things that I wouldn't even do, bombing and you know, violent things. And it's like, well, where does she land in all that? Now, what is she responsible for? How does she raise up in her identity at the very end when she decides what she's going to do? Yeah. Right?

speaker-0 (25:03)
you

speaker-1 (25:05)
I love this ⁓

speaker-0 (25:09)
making us think so much. love it. That's Are we?

speaker-1 (25:15)
Yeah, are you responsible for what your forefathers did?

speaker-0 (25:19)
That's tough. That makes you... Man, what am I being punished for? You know? That's kind of what the thought is.

speaker-1 (25:28)
And then where do you begin? Like, where do you begin? Decolonization within yourself? Where has the patriarchy or capitalist systems, things like that, where have they damaged me and created biases within myself? Begin the inner work so that you can start advocating and helping people who are oppressed, right?

speaker-0 (25:51)
What's your final thoughts on this movie? You got me thinking now. like, kind of have to go through my day now.

speaker-1 (25:53)
Was that enough?

There's a lot there. Well, I'd love to hear the debate. I'd love to hear, Freaks, if you're like, no, I'm not responsible for what my parents did or what my grandparents and great-grandparents did, or no, I'm not responsible, but yes, I will do the work. I will begin the pattern breaking of that because I want my life and my future descendants to have better and to do better. I think there's a great debate there, so I'd like to hear what you guys have to

speaker-0 (26:28)
I want to hear that. We should go into that more. Actually, practically magic probably goes in there.

speaker-1 (26:31)
Yeah,

I go into that a lot more on Proxima2k, but I love how movies, I mean art replicating life, gives us an opportunity to bring that up and to say like, this is interesting, let's look at this.

speaker-0 (26:41)
And if this is not one of the biggest pieces of art, there is. mean, Paul Thomas Anderson directed. Yep. You got Leonardo DiCaprio, Sean Penn, Benicio del Toro. Taylor, Regina Hall. You see those people on paper. now I'm like, you know what? If you didn't pick this movie to win the Oscar.

speaker-1 (26:57)
you forgot to mention me.

speaker-0 (27:11)
What were you looking at? Because on paper alone it wins an Oscar for me.

speaker-1 (27:15)
Yeah, well, I did have a hard time seeing it as a comedy. I know there was some like, there's comedic, you know, whatever. I'm like, yeah, yeah, yeah, maybe I wasn't like, wow, I'm gonna know this movie for a comedy. That wasn't necessarily my take on it, but that's.

speaker-0 (27:32)
I did laugh quite a few times at the movie, but it is a very dark dark comedy. Yeah

speaker-1 (27:35)
It is,

There were critical reviews too. I I saw some people out there, was Cody Higginbotham, I may be saying that wrong, ⁓ saw a review, Movie Talk was talking about how, I don't necessarily agree that this was the best. He said, and I'm paraphrasing here, but ⁓ Paul Thomas Anderson had done better movies than this before. And even Leo...

Leonardo DiCaprio had done better movies than this before. So he's like, it wasn't their worst, but it wasn't their best. So mean, there's some conflicting reviews from other people out there.

speaker-0 (28:12)
Which is scary because they won an Oscar with this and if that wasn't their best then what would be their best and what would they get?

speaker-1 (28:19)
I mean, you could go into the debate of whether or not the Oscars really do qualify as the best, or if it's just a lot of political, ⁓ gets the Oscar, gets the winner. ⁓ I mean, it's how we measure things in our society at this point in time. So I think it deserves what it got. But it's all right that there are other ideas, that other people had their own take on it too.

speaker-0 (28:45)
Paul Anderson

did do Punch, Drunk, I love that I mean, there are some good movies. What's your favorite Paul Thomas Anderson movie? That's what we should do.

speaker-1 (28:54)
Is

this the best one or do you have like others that are on the list?

speaker-0 (28:59)
What else are doing this week? What do we got tomorrow?

speaker-1 (29:02)

speaker-0 (29:08)
We got another TV show we're doing.

I don't know what's... I've got a good tease for us.

I have checked out a new TV show that we're gonna have to talk about on Netflix. And what's the name of it? It's... Duffer Brothers produced it. Something... I don't remember the name of it. It's something long. Something bad is... Something very bad is gonna happen. I think it's what it's called.

speaker-1 (29:28)
yeah, yeah. You were showing me that.

speaker-0 (29:39)
I got hooked on this show. It is good. It's not the best, not the best show ever, but I enjoy it. Yeah. And I think it's fun to watch. We'll have to talk about that one.

speaker-1 (29:49)
Well, a lot of what we're doing in April, instead of doing Tube Tuesday, taking a break from TV shows for a bit, because there's so many award-winning movies out there, I renamed Tuesday for just a few weeks to Tap Tier Tuesday. Tap Tier Tuesday? Yeah, so we're going to talk about more award-winning movies, ⁓ and Feature Fridays will be some, maybe a little bit more obscure, you know, what's been getting some awards out there. love this. There's a lot of things on the list coming up. I know...

speaker-0 (30:03)
here today.

speaker-1 (30:19)
Not this week, but coming up we're going to be reviewing centers, we're going to be reviewing F1. ⁓ yeah. talking about reviewing, not really reviewing. just, philosophize. Philosophize.

speaker-0 (30:27)
We talk about it.

I mean, we broke down one battle after another today and barely talked about any of the scenes from the movie. Yeah. That's what we do here.

speaker-1 (30:37)
Yeah,

I like the discussion more than the like you guys know what happened you watched it right you are you watched it

speaker-0 (30:43)

So much fun though, this movie and every movie that we break down and we love the freqs. We love all of the comments. Keep them coming. The nice ones, especially. Especially. We like the nice ones. What else? Kicking off this great week.
