Merry Christmas! In this episode, Kyrsten and I review Tom Hooper’s abysmal adaptation of Cats in a non-spoiler review. Then we cover Bong Joon-ho’s incredible Parasite in a full review. We also discuss Mike Birbiglia’s 2016 film Don’t Think Twice and have our usual nonsense.

This week’s stinger comes from our Patreon-exclusive recording: 056 – OV B-Roll – “Please Don’t Tweet Me” – Kyrsten’s 30th Birthday, Ninja Disappeared, Comedic Ignorance, and Cat Fostering – December 21, 2019
