What better way to celebrate the lead-up to the Summer Olympics in Paris than by watching the Netflix fin-omenon Under Paris? We discuss the absolute smoke show of a man that is actor Nassim Lyes; the film's overt themes regarding global warming, environmental destruction, pollution, and capitalism; and we maybe sing a bit of a kid's ditty at one point.
Kicking off the episode, we pay tribute to the late Shelley Duvall. We also discuss your answers to June's Question of the Month: What is a piece of media you absolutely consider horror but other people might not? Per usual, y'all delivered:
