"Who the heck is Dave?" - Passing (2021)
Short episode this week because we are both SLAMMED with finals but this 90-minute Netflix gem fit perfectly into our packed schedules and we made a little time to talk about it. If you're similarly sardined by your schedule, this is a movie for you! Bite-sized runtime and making the award-circuit rounds with Oscar buzz so you can stay in the know without compromising your 50 side hustles. We should be back to a more regular schedule after the holidays! Thanks for listening!
