Welcome to Episode 6 of Season 2 of Adapted with Anna and Sam!

It helps when you imagine the probably already exists porno remake of the Monster... The pair also introduces Stabley Tucci to the world at large, you're welcome. Anna's mom, grab your tissues, you're going to have a good cry with this one!
