Episode #423: 'Play Dirty' with Danielle Radford

If you’ve got Amazon Prime, you can put PLAY DIRTY (starring Mark Wahlberg, Rosa Salazar, LaKeith Stanfield, Tony Shaloub, and many more) right now. But should you? That’s where we come in, careening into your remote-wielding hand like a car chase onto a horse racing track in the first few minutes of PLAY DIRTY.
Speaking of which, we’re also nominating Hall of Excellence candidates in the category Best Car Chase. All with Danielle Radford (bsky.app/profile/danielleradford.bsky.social) riding shotgun!
What’s Good
Alonso - Zach Bryan
Drea - mom's girls trip to Portland (and a drag show)
Danielle - Hello Kitty Island Adventure (and no IMdB-ruiner encounters)
Kevin - Rocky Horror Picture Show @ Cinespia (starring Barry Bostwick, FYI)
