      Beverly D What a hilarious little series no one seems to know about. The storylines are relevant to today, but overlain on 50's footage. A very unique concept that kind gives you a Twilight Zone feeling, esp. if you grew up watching movies from this era. I hope they get another season. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 11/06/21 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating

      Anne Brodie What She Said It all so weirdly wonderful and kitschy and of our times. Apr 23, 2021 Full Review Edwin Arnaudin Asheville Movies Jay Duplass and Alex Ross Perry understood the assignment. David Lowery, Aubrey Plaza, and many others did not.
