  • On the Way to Good

    I think it’s got potential. They need to fix their mic lag, as they don’t realize they are talking over each quite a lot. Also forcing in some cringy pc phrasing on stuff, just to check off a checkbox, but it feels unnatural, and should be toned down. Other than that, it seems like it could be a good show with some minimal work.

The Conjuring 2 (2016)
Q: Will you be on those apps?
I'll just be your sounding board. I'll be just literally like asking what to do, like a teeing off question, like what happened to you this week, Rick?
The Conjuring 2 (2016)
Q: What did you think of The Conjuring 2, Rick?
I liked it. I thought it was scarier than The Conjuring 1, honestly. I'll get into that of why I think that, but mainly has to do with the night time creeping around a dark house and dark corners.
