Tom and Holly again welcome the special guest Mary to the mic. Mary is a friend of the Pod and an avid/professional reader. She suggested the 2019 movie JOJO Rabbit directed by Taika Waititi. We discuss the comedy of the movie and how it creates a complex look at Nazi’s during this time period. The role of Imaginary Hitler sparks our interest, and we agree that Yorki is the best character ever. After we debate the dynamics of Nazi’s in the movie, we end on everyone’s favorite segment, reviewing a review in The Review Review. The review fairs well as it gets many triangles from us (no, you’re not supposed to know what that means yet).

Sorry for the delayed release schedule as Corona is throwing a hefty wrench into things. More episodes are coming soon though, so stay tuned!

Shout out to Mayo Nice for the intro music.
