Discussion

Hulu ads suck, especially when the tone is off with the content. Why are we made to watch this for a premium paid streaming service?

Our take on TDKR after 1 week and 2 viewings

The Second Screeners Weigh in on Aurora

Tim, Ryan, and Damong at the Second Screeners extend thoughts, prayers, and condolences to the families and friends of the victims of the Aurora theater shooting. If you were affected by this tragedy, our thoughts are with you. We revere the theater going experience, and have been appalled by the senseless act that has caused much pain and loss for many, and threatens to tarnish the joy that is moviegoing. Take back the movies folks.
