Listen, I didn't really listen to this while editing it...but here it is. Episode 22. Remakes! Princess Bride! Are You Offended (by this media ploy to increase public awareness by contrived social media outrage? (Please see Joker movie discourse currently sputtering its way out the door as it failed to offend and or say anything worth taking into consideration BUT WE DONT TALK ABOUT THAT THIS EPISODE. Tune in next time for that one.
THis was supposed to be out last week but life is and b and then you marry one, but as sure as God wears sandals the KMP podcast is gonna keep plugging away...or unplugging as it were.
