We watch a lot of dumb movies for this podcast so it was a refreshing change of pace to be presented with something so well-made and meaningful. The movie also has a shit-ton of skateboarding in it, so we talk about that, too.</p><p><br></p><p>This episode has a content warning for discussion of domestic violence.</p><p><br></p>","author_name":"Gleaming the Tube"}
