    Sep 16 2024
    On this episode, we discuss Ruthless (2023, directed by Art Camacho.) Meanwhile, Lawrence marvels at the UI design on a human auction and Ronald talks at some length about 7-11. Also, heavy trigger warning. The movie had a ton of discussion of sexual violence, so so does this episode.
