On this episode of our '90s movie rehash podcast: Squirrel-talk; We've lost the ability to be ironically deep; Ethan Hawke should play a content person (would be hilarious); Tom Cruise should go back to playing humans.
This week:Is there still cool? Ted doesn't like kids as much; young people have metabolized Taylor Swift; traces of Covid rotting around us; will there be a brick-and-mortar revival?
This week:Ted's still sick, Zach's an empath, We Have Shirts, Being moderately into things, the burden of having sexy eyes, Michael Tait and Begin Again

n this episode, Zach and Ted discuss movies they like and why they find certain aspects of film apealing. It is fun to listen in on the discussion. #am #ffm #gutcheckpress

I had been listening to The Happy Rant and loving it. As a result I knew I'd enjoy this podcast and I was completely overjoyed! I love listening to men who do not take themselves so serious and enjoy having meandering conversations. I enjoy listening to the discussions and love when they bring their families into the mix..
