0:00 - REVIEW - “Normal” (2026). 11:20 - SPOILERS and DISCUSSION - things that should have been done differently. 30:34 - We get into the muddy subject of why there are so many “passable but not memorable” films out there, the ethics of choosing not to support independent films that aren’t appealing, and at what point in life we begin to not finish movies we aren’t enjoying. ----- Executive Producers: Conner Dempsey • Dustin Weldon Theme Music by Dustin Weldon Produced & Engineered by Conner Dempsey Powered by Zoom, QuickTime, Adobe Audition, & Adobe Premiere Pro Special Thanks to Anchor FM (or “Spotify for Podcasters”, whatever) FOR ENTERTAINMENT PURPOSES ONLY.
