Sunday Dec 15, 2024

This week Jason and Craig go fishing deep in Mississippi in a fruitless attempt to prepare some catfish enchiladas and end up watching Robert Altman's charming "Cookie's Fortune" instead, before driving their speedboat down the Thames collecting double entendres from every direction in the formulaic and heavily millennial "The World is Not Enough".
