    - Considering that there are major addiction issues tied to Opiods - eag Oct 13, 09:24 1

  - Not to spoil but while it was filming, Little Shop of Horrors was filming across the street, so SW and Rick Moranis hung out some. - Spawn Oct 13, 09:18 4
    - Timing sounds right. - Will Hunting Oct 13, 09:29 3
      - She was the one telling it. My only complaint on the series is sometimes you do not have the right people. Aliens nailed it. - Spawn Oct 13, 09:34 2
        
        Not sure how you have Robocop without them. -- nm - Will Hunting Oct 13, 09:36 1
