  • Ehhh

    Everyone is NOT loving Mando movie. Brad likes everything, even with Jurassic. He’d be a good influencer hired to only talk positive, knowing there’s alot of negative. It’s like he’s afraid to dislike anything ever. It’s ok for him to at least admit one thing he dislikes about something haha

  • It’s A Podcast For Spooky Lovers

    I come here from following Hunter on Dis-Order. My wife and I enjoy Dis-Order with Andy, Michael, and Hunter. Knowing he spoke about theme parks and about HHN…I was all in. This is a fun show, and it got me to attend my first HHN in Hollywood at the end of this month with my wife. Thank you Hunter and company for all you do!
