In E5 Lauren and Jared agree to disagree! We say a Lovecraft Country last word (16:00), check to see if Justin Simien’s Bad Hair has split ends (43:00), touch on Netflix's remake of Lauren's favorite film Rebecca (1:21:16), break down the beauty that is Henry Selick’s Coraline (1:31:33), and for some reason this week Jared can not seem to correctly pronounce words to save his life!
At the last minute, corona forced our recording location to close! As we look for a new location to record bear with us.
And Lauren made an oopsie. Gravity Falls is a Disney cartoon NOT a Cartoon Network cartoon. Follow the creator @_AlexHirsch.
