In thinking about movies, Robert thinking it wasn’t quite summer yet during this show… that took place in July. To be fair, my memory of when certain movies came out, save for big ones like Marvel movies, has waned over the years. But yeah, in 2016, there was Civil War in May, and Doctor Strange in November.

The age game is my new favorite part of these shows.
