Episode 95: G.I. Joe: Retalliation

We hit a lull in the Tatumverse as we return to the G.I. Joe franchise, a thing we still don’t understand the existence of (Bruce Willis shows up? There is a gun montage? Half of it takes place in Tokyo?). In this episode, Wesleigh shares a cat-related life hack, we reveal what the first movie we each watched in 2019 was, and Katie becomes a socialist.
