WARNING: The following episode is rated F for #Freespeech.

Wherein Kevin and Chris are startlingly pleased with the caliber of Kenneth Branagh's spooky third stab at portraying detective Hercule Poirot.

Like a sating, flourishing oasis in the release schedule of 2023, Hayao Miyazaki's final theatrically released film (for now, at least) was a real socks-knocker-offer, that's for sure.
