San Andreas and the Death of a Child

The Rock having a blast

Episode Notes

In this episode, we welcome fan favorite guest, Miranda Sajdak, to talk about one of her favorite movies, SAN ANDREAS.  We also take on an extremely heavy topic in the psychological section, so you've been warned.  Join us as we talk about how charming The Rock is, how beautiful this cast is, and why they don't make movies like this anymore!  All of this, in preparation for another disaster movie (?) starring The Rock, BAYWATCH!
