"Ahhh yes… Demon Days! It is like a journey through the shadowlands of the mind—dark, yes, but full of rhythm and truth! The world is broken, mmhmm, but the beat goes on—so you must listen closely… for even in despair, there is harmony! 🌀🐒🎶" - Rafiki shaman of the Pride Lands

Free Guy
2021
It’s the story of a man (Ryan Reynolds)… who discovers he’s not a man… but a guy… a guy who’s named Guy… a guy who’s a video game character… which explains why he never blinks. As lives his “life” in a city where explosions happen hourly and nobody questions why a man in a pink bunny suit is parachuting into traffic, he puts on a pair of sunglasses and suddenly sees the world for what it is: a video game full of glitches, weapons, and people teabagging each other for no reason. When he meets a mysterious woman (Jodie Comer) in leather, he finds out his whole life is code, and decides to become a hero—without cheat codes. Meanwhile, the evil tech CEO (Taika Waititi) wants to shut the whole thing down faster than a busted vending machine at Gamescom. Will Guy prove you don’t need to be real to make a difference? Or that you just need heart, courage, and an unlimited respawn counter?

Lum’s Chili Dogs
You’re going to love these chili dogs more than Jimmy Hoffa loved ice cream. It’s messy. It’s heavy. And it don’t pretend to be somethin’ it’s not. It’s meat, cheese, chili—done right. The secret? Left over dogs and burgers from the cookout the night before. The dogs revitalized and steamed with beer. The chili? Raised from the dead with spices and a day old burger patty, maybe it had cheese on it, it doesn’t matter. The tanginess of the cream cheese and parmesan mustard spread cuts through all that fat with sweet red pepper jelly to bring it all together in balance. It ain’t good for you, but that’s not the point. You don’t eat one of these because you’re watching your health—you eat it because sometimes, after everything, you need somethin’ warm and sloppy in your hands that reminds you you’re still here.

Dressed in a red-and-black iconic uniform, adorned with the hammer and sickle…
