Episode #396 - 80 for Brady
We watch a film about four octogenarian women going to the Super Bowl, because apparently that's a full concept for a movie these days? Like, just... older people seeing football? That's a movie?

One of us even liked it, so if you enjoy listening to the other two being dumbfounded, this is the episode for you.Wikipedia page for 80 for BradyMovies recommended in this episode:Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 (2023)Evil Dead Rise (2023)The Hellstrom Chronicle (1971)Ever tried Microdosing?
