Did Bill and Lady Phantom have an argument just before recording this or did Bill just wake up on the wrong side of the bed?
He seemed really grumpy and was determined to talk this movie down no matter what anyone else said.

Great episode because the arguing is back, my grumpy grandpa bill chete is back lol. Always better with confrontation lol. Speaking of spoilers I don’t like the show notes because you guys spoil everything! Usually dont look but was looking for the letterbox links & was spoiled on this episode. Bill chete doesn’t speak to the public much which is why if he says something to you it’s like finding a good treasure chest. Again great episode! P.s My best friend is cousins with Elvira
