Description

Consider the following: What if this were a universe where what was fun was good? That’s what we’ll be exploring in this episode. Instead of covering the best picture nominees plus other critically acclaimed films, we’ll be looking at films that are just fun from 1998. 

So please, join us, as we enter an alternate reality where fun is good.

Notes: SPOILERS - we talk through the full plots of all the movies we cover.
