November 04, 2021 15:00 - 26 minutes - 36.2 MBIn what is our closest episode to 24 minutes yet, the boys take a look at Jonah Hill's directorial debut Mid90s. A film about the life and times of a 13 year old boy growing up in 1990's era Los Angeles, this movie is an visceral human story told through the lens of skateboarding.
