My Time Going Shooty Shooty Pew Pew: A Queer Retrospective

6/4/2024
Julian shoots guns in the country, security at Cannes get handsy with Kelly Rowland, and the Baes express their differing points of view when it comes to hanging out under bridges. The Pope throwing out gay slurs also emboldens Brian to try an Italian accent way too much in this one. Y'all, we watched the Garfield Movie after recording this and literally walked out of the theater. Please don't give them your money, it's so bad.
