May 07, 2023 00:00 - 1 hour - 89 MBGreetings programs! This week on the show, we take a look at the newly on-demand fantasy heist movie Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves before switching gears to the upcoming Canadian dramatization of the rise and fall of one of our biggest tech giants, BlackBerry. We also talk a little about the writer's strike, and just in case there is any ambiguity: we stand with the writers.
