Vitamins, Matzo Waffles, and May Movie Preview

Shai kicks off this week’s episode with an I Told You Show for Becky, and his new discovery - vitamins (spoiler: his bodily fluids glow now). Calling from snowy Ottawa, Becky shares tales of Passover with her Russian in-laws, who have gone above and beyond to turn their home into a matzo fry culinary lab, complete with matzo waffles and matzo spanakopita. We also tackle a ton of movies and shows we're watching:

The Wedding Banquet (but Shai makes it about The Last Jedi)
The Shondaland whodunnit The Residence, stacked with a killer cast including Uzo Aduba and Ken Marino
Hit Man (again... Glenn Powell - need we say more)
The Peanut Butter Falcon
A revisiting of Mallrats and John Tucker Must Die with the next generation

Plus, what’s coming in May? Shai and Becky preview:

Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning
Lilo & Stitch (Live-Action)
Karate Kid: Legends
Thunderbolts
…and the Nicolas Cage slow burn The Surfer
Clown in a Cornfield (a big NO for Becky)

Also: Woody Woodpecker, Heart Eyes, and Captain America: Brave New World.
