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!
