Yo, we are back and we are dancing with our minds in Episode 4!
This week we got a glimpse into the future of our world and not wearing a mask is the least of our problems. We watched The FP. Set in the not so distant future where two warring Zip Codes in the small town of Frazier Park, CA settle their beefs by taking to the electronic dance floor. Like overhearing a bunch of middle school kids' conversation while they dance intensely in place, do your self a favor watch this movie!
