Send Help 🤮 and some Super Bowl stuff

This time on NEW RELEASE #261 … survivalists Ashley and Drew go back to the movies. We each saw SEND HELP on the big screen with revved up crowds and can’t wait to share the journey it took us on. FF » to (20:38) for that portion of the show. First, though, we have to digest a lackluster Super Bowl and the associated media that comes with it. ((By the Power of Grayskull)), I swear, Masters of the Universe better not suck. Jk, it definitely will, but still, I might be the only person I know legitimately anticipating the new He-Man flick. Any excuse to talk about that ONE TIME I had bangs. Plus, Bad Bunny and Supergirl. Get ready for one action-packed episode.
