I didn’t know who the director was and I keep mis-reading Tom Hooper as Tobe Hooper and, well, what could’ve been, you know?

So, not just feral hogs, but immigrant feral hogs? This is real, folks.

Peter and friends got blipped, and Brad grew up to their age while they were gone.

In junior high I was made fun of for making that point, so I’m not with you here.

Seriously, when I saw the headline I dug in looking for Ear Hustle.
