Dorknetto Trilogy

8/2/2023
You've got red on you. We're dorking out about the Cornetto Trilogy: Shaun of the Dead, Hot Fuzz, and The World's End. We also talk Care Bears, RetroKid, Ernie & Bert, Seinfeld, and Millennial hopelessness with a side of Gen Z nihilism. Let's have a nice cold pint, and wait for this all to blow over.
