Naturally, this discussion includes left turns into Tenet reviews, SNL critiques, and the surprising amount of sequels this movie generated. You know, just what the filmmakers would want people to talk about! Join them as they answer such questions as: Did we get our fill of Christopher Lloyd in this? What was a guaranteed way to make kids laugh in the '90s? Was IMDB Trivia wrong about sports? If Angels are so good, why are they helping The Angels cheat? among many others...
