We travel back in time to 120 AD to visit Roman Soldier Channing in the next Tatumverse film, The Eagle, which is…not great. We talk a lot about Katie’s tip to see Hamilton instead. In this episode, we hear all about Katie’s birthday shenanigans, Wesleigh recounts the similarities between The Shape of Water and Paddington, and we have a surprise special guest. #MagicMikeByChristmas

We’re wrapping up Marathon May by inviting our friend who suggested year’s theme of time travel romances, Lara! She introduces us to Somewhere in Time, an ethereal movie that seems to have been filmed through an Instagram filter. In this episode Katie calls in from a nursing home, express our disappointment with this film’s ending, and pitch a new gender-swapped 80s movie someone should definitely be making.
