Just Boys Kissing (Movie Recap, Challengers)
Everyone was talking about this...Tennis movie? Starring Mike Faist, Josh O'Connor and Zendaya. We had to check it out and see what all the rave was about. Tennis, by default, is kind of a boring sport, but we were seated during this recap. SEATED. Tashi, played by Zendaya, is toxic AF here. A…
