What we’re Enjoying
Jay got in the mood for this episode by watching the sequel to Hocus Pocus on Disney+. It was fun, so stay tuned. Shua has been looking for some wacky things to listen to. Or should we say ‘looney’ things to listen to. He put on a playlist of Looney Tunes classic music on Spotify that reminded him of some of the classic cartoons.
