Next movie we have, it's the 30th anniversary of an Ed Burns movie called She's the One that is a very important Gen X movie. And, uh, we've been talking about doing this forever, so it is me and Sean Fantasy, 'cause it's a Long Island movie, and, um, a special guest who's not on the podcast too often. So we are doing that. That is on Netflix if you wanna watch that one. Um, and then the next movie we're doing after that is Hitch with Will Smith, which is also on Netflix. So there you go.
