Three Snorts

WE'RE BACK!! It's been a crazy month for both of us, but we're finally on the other side and we have returned. Pattie has a huge list of stuff she's seen, but of course Bill can't remember. He swears he'll get a notebook and start making a list so he can remember what he's seen. This week Bill does a proxy review of a show both Pattie and Laura have seen and he promises to finally watch K-Pop Demon Hunters (it's awesome, if you haven't seen it you really should. You'll love it!) Bill continues his review of season 21 of Project Runway and there's a long discussion even though Pattie's not watching this season. For the 20th anniversary of Hurricane Katrina, Pattie's watched some of the latest docuseries that take a look at the failures and aftermath of the biggest tragedy in Louisiana history.

Keeping it Short

Bill had a scheduling conflict and couldn't remember what he's watched so we're in and out in less than 20 minutes this week. Pattie's movie reviews are all 100 minutes or less. Bill remembers only one thing but it doesn't fit the short theme, it's nearly 3 hours long.
