Episode 70 - "You can tell the pandemic is wreaking havoc on our programming!" - a podcast by Jason Chen and Robert Snow

In the first episode recorded after beginning some social distancing for the COVID-19 pandemic, Robert and Jason begin by running through the sudden cancellations and closures in the movie business. Then it's on to an eccentric mix of old and new. First, the Canadian political thriller RUN THIS TOWN and the new Amazon Prime series HUNTERS. Then, it's over to diametrically opposed selections CERTIFIED COPY and THE BOSS BABY (!?!). You know we're in crazy times with that last one on the list.
