Welcome ladies, germs, and people of all genders! Join Taylor & Curtis as we discuss films about pandemics (timely, we know). We discuss why people turn to films about pandemics during real-life pandemics, how pandemic films make us ~*~feel~*~, and what makes a good pandemic film. Plus, tune in for an in-depth discussion of the Netflix reality show The Circle, including two major topics: what a total dream Joey is, and how dirty they did Sean!!Please follow all guidance for protecting yourself, your family, and your community during the COVID-19 pandemic.
