WE ARE NOT BACK!!!!!
Straight to the point - you're getting TWO more hiatus episodes after
this - one full-length about the Coke ad, and one shorter to wrap us up
before our return (topic TBD)
SAM'S NICHE OR HARD-TO-SELL RECOMMENDATIONS:
- Therapy Dogs [Trailer]
- The HTML Review [Link]
and then some more broadly-appealing recs:
- Starring Jerry As Himself [Trailer]
(recommending something I haven't even fully watched, very cool move)
- The Kid Detective [Trailer]
(in retrospect, this one got more of the recognition it deserved!
Honestly worth ignoring the trailer and going into blind.)
Julian's niche or hard-to-sell recommendations:
- Desecrators https://store.steampowered.com/app/1311570/Desecrators/
- Vividlope https://store.steampowered.com/app/2078510/VIVIDLOPE/
P.S. It looks like they dropped the entire wide-release version of
Therapy Dogs to watch on YouTube this morning?? So you can watch the
whole thing for free? I have no idea how it wouldn't get age restricted,
but here's the full movie. If you're not accustomed to this kinda
filmmaking, you might wanna check the trailer first to get a vibe check.
