0:00:00 - 0:07:35 - INTROS - Lulu vs. Grindr, other stuff. This podcast was recorded and edited at the last minute, with Tucker sick and Sean having not watched any movies, so show notes are going to be even more half assed than usual this time, srryz.

0:33:52 - 0:39:23 - Tucker watched 2 Guns (2013), starring an enormous array of 80s character actors and guys who could be great 80s character actors.

0:39:24 - 0:44:04 - Tucker rewatched both Memento (2000), directed by Christopher Nolan, starring Guy Pearce, Carrie-Ann Moss, and Joe Pantoliono; and The Limey(1999), directed by Steven Soderbergh, starring Terrence Stamp, Peter Fonda, Luis Guzman, Lesley Ann Warren, Nicky Katt, and Barry Godddamn Vanishing Point Newman.
