Denmarka month ago - Dude
Dude is mad annoying and mansplains too much. He says “You .. “ all the time and speaks for all artists and people. He has a resume so he acts like his opinions are facts. Chill out bro have some humility, the show (other than him speaking way too much) is cool and I learn a lot about the movies I love. But bro pls chill tf out.
