Why did we spend so much time on this uneven philosophical road movie? Who the fuck knows! By the way, for this episode Jen was calling from the surface of Jupiter, where she went to get more stupider.
Incidentally, we will have ANOTHER bonus episode for you on the regular date, the second Sunday of the month!

We go incredibly deep on a movie that probably didn’t merit it. So much so that you’re getting a two-parter! This one was written by the guy who co-wrote Back to the Future and it’s tailor-made for dads who wistfully scroll through classics dot autotrader dot com on weekends.
