Oh hi,

This week on Filmsack, we try to cry (Visine drop please) when we are left with no other option but to pull the plug (or sniffle while we slowly push the buttons) on our socket 7 genius of a brother now powering THE ELECTRIC STATE from his coma pod in this 2025 alternate 1990s timeline illustrated novel to big budget Netflix film where Disney is somehow even more evil? and Planter’s Mr. Peanut runs the Mall of Robots? I don’t know, I  never read the novel but apparently it’ll make you mad at this movie if you do. So don’t?

Anywho, hey! It’s been 4 years since this kid went into a coma in his formative growing years and yet… here he is… same as he ever was… except for the patented Russo Brother’s “shave the kid” haircut. This pleases the Tucci. Yes, Stanley approves of the particle removal of the follicles. smooth like Tucci. 

Randy, Not my fault you got emotional and told your truth. Visine Drop Please.
