Quickies to Catch Up (pt 1): The Conjuring 3, A Quiet Place 2, Barb & Star 1
It's been difficult to get back into the swing of things, especially since we're short on funds given how last season went with Hollywood shut down. That said, we're feeling a swing of summer energy coming so... watch out? stay tuned? cross fingers?
