Irish Couch Potatoes

Hey everyone! Spoilers for Slime City start at 44:00 (If you haven’t seen Slime City we don’t really recommend it so if you’re on the fence about watching it maybe just listen to our review and don't worry about spoilers!)

 

We’re back with a main episode! We have lots of rants about AI, and the unfair use of actors' likeness, do we own the digital media we purchase anymore? But we’re excited about the new Nosferatu movie and talk about films we’re going to be reviewing next!
