We have a special Fail-Tober episode! For some reason, I couldn't get a guest booked for this week. And to top it off... I fumbled the football on my Mah Jong night episode. Oh well. So what you get this week is me rambling for 20 minutes! Yay!

Hope this is just enough time for you to walk the dog, do some dishes, or get to work. If it's not long enough, you can listen to it twice!

We'll be back next week with a real guest! Chef Esther Choi! Until then... thanks for listening, and we'll talk to you soon!

Brian reached out a few weeks ago about coming on the podcast, and even offered to send me a box of free noodles. But you know us, we don't accept payment or sponsorships... but I love a great entrepreneurial origin story, so we bought some Kyunu noodles, tried them at home, and sat down with Brian @onwaverly 's Clubhouse to record. Spoiler alert... I think their noodles are delicious and recommend them to you if you're looking to get a healthier, protein-rich version of quick noodles!

Give Kyunu a try @eat.kyunu on social media or their website https://eatkyunu.com

Hope is an action movie from South Korea that was a huge hit with audiences there. It opened in the US in September and has gotten a good amount of buzz. Author/Educator Joan Sung helped me break down the film, and we talked about the things we liked and didn't like about the movie. Hopefully we can give you a fair idea about whether it's worth your time or not.

The first half of our review is SPOILER FREE!
