Robert and Sharla are playing with a delicious paradox today: the idea that trust requires us to be vulnerable — and yet being vulnerable requires trust. Through personal, relatable examples as a couple, plus some Brené Brown insights, this power relationship couple proves that vulnerability is not weakness. Rather, vulnerability is a strength. The myth that vulnerability is weakness is dangerous to any relationship. We need to break that cycle as our relationships depend on it.

We start off by discussing Robert's previous disappointment with Tarsem's IMMORTALS, and then move into THE CELL's crazy but time-tested visual effects and the central performances from Jennifer Lopez, Vincent D'Onofrio, and Vince Vaughn. Should Tarsem get some Netflix or Amazon money to make up for the terrible direct-to-DVD sequel?
