This episode is a cold open that is about 8 minutes of VENOM: THE LAST DANCE spoilers, then about 45 minutes of earnest discussion of Robert Zemeckis's HERE, and then 4 minutes of special presentations that only obliquely reference the state of the world. It's just J Catherine and Andy! Hope all our listeners are doing well and enjoy!

The Chicago International Film Festival is picking up and this week we hear from Cullen about Hard Truths and Nickel Boys. We also dig into two big questions: if we were having a birthday dinner with Andy would he want us to tell the restaurant it was his birthday, and should we be a podcast about butter? Weigh in on our socials with #ButterYes or #YouButterNot.
