Chris and guest Ron cover a lot of ground in this one. They start by asking whether anyone cared about a single movie this year, and whether going to the theater is still worth it. Then they trade airline horror stories (lost luggage, and nobody willing to take responsibility) and talk about why someone has to say no when safety systems fail. After a detour into old movies and niche films that are still fun to watch, they each pick the animal they'd be. In the second half they ask whether the internet is making us dumber: AI and the collapse of real learning in college, why the college-for-everyone push failed while the trades make a comeback, why younger workers seem less ready for the real world, and what happens when no one still working can find their way without GPS.
