    I still can't believe I was one pick away from getting The Grinch in the second round, which I had in the top 3 of my wishlist. Damn you, Duke!

    Helps that Lazlo's first two picks are super questionable - the first Ralph movie only made $189 in it's entire run. The Nutcracker is also a huge question mark.

    I work in grocery. I have not gotten sick. My fellow employees have not gotten sick. If the virus were even remotely as contagious as its being presented as, why haven’t entire store staffs who come into contact with hundreds of people per day, thousands per week, all falling ill in mass nationwide?

    Wreck It Ralph will cap no worries. Nutcracker is one of those movies where I simply have no idea what it will do and I'm happy to just let other people deal with it. The same went for Spider-Man Into the Spiderverse, Bumblebee and Dark Phoenix.

    Super questionable is a great way to sum up my strategy in these games.
    last four:
    black widow - 8
    zero dark thirty - 9
    the muse - 7
    freaky - 7
