Movie Review: Kiss Kiss Bang Bang
Perry: Talking money…
Harry: A talking monkey?
Perry: Talking monkey, yeah, yeah. Came here from the future, ugly sucker, only says “ficus.”

[TV Show Review] You: Is This The Weirdest Show Ever?
Because it’s Valentine’s Day, you might consider binge watching You, one of the most bizarre shows Netflix has to offer. Well, it’s romantic. Kinda…
To be honest, I thought You was mostly about some psycho-dude stalking a girl, learning everything about her, just to get her to fall in love with him.
