TMTYR Episode #90: It's Like Monster Herpes (Bird Box)
/

And we’re back with another new episode! James is finally back in his house, and we’re on remote protocol, but picked a title we could all watch, and one we could do with Netflix Party! So that was fun. Bird Box, the 2018 movie, based on the 2014 book.

If you want to skip James’s tale of sailing all the way around South America, skip to 5:59. You jerk!

Rankings!:

James: Book/Movie

Seth: Book/Movie

Colin: Book/Movie

Colin with a COVID-19 improvised blindfold.

And now our Netflix Party chat. Warning, there’s literally no context to anything.

SethBoy
it’s at least a nod to the book

One Kuskie or The Other
No actual wolves were involved. No shoulders damaged. No blood.
