Hunt for the Wilderpeople
We watched the 2016 movie Hunt for the Wilderpeople back in March, but kept our discussion in reserve as a backup episode. Well, this week, we're pulling it out since Linnea got her 2nd COVID-19 shot and is feeling a bit under the weather. In addition to our review of the movie (which, to be honest, is mostly Brian gushing over how much he loved it) we also talked about Minecraft, an upcoming game called Palia, and read fortune cookies.
