We're also brought to you by The Ringer Podcast Network, where on the Rewatchables, it is From Hell month. We have done Single White Female. We just put up The Hand That Rocks the Cradle, and then we have Domestic Disturbance and The Good Son coming, uh, later this month. Domestic Disturbance, John Travolta, Vince Vaughn. That's gonna be Monday's movie. That is one of the funnier unintentional comedy movies of the 2000s.
