This week on 'Avid Watchers,' MK and Adam cover the 2020 revenge thriller 'Promising Young Woman.' The movie follows Cassie, a woman whose life is nothing like what it appears to be -- she's wickedly smart, tantalizingly cunning, and she's living a secret double life by night. Now, an unexpected encounter is about to give Cassie a chance to right the wrongs from the past. The film is well-acted, well written, and well shot, but that doesn't mean it's perfect. Adam and MK discuss what they agree and disagree on when it comes to that divisive ending. They also discuss what they've been watching, including 'Malcolm & Marie,' 'WandaVision,' 'To All the Boys: Always and Forever,' and more. *This podcast contains spoilers.
