Minisode 012 - Baywatch, A Self-Parody Try-Hard

Nick and Justin are back this Memorial Day with a review of the brand-new adaptation of Baywatch, starring the Rock, Zac Efron, Alexandra Daddario, and Kelly Rohrbach. We had a bit to say about this movie that, ultimately, doesn't have a whole lot to say for itself. The mildest of spoilers, but come on... it's Baywatch. The plot is predictable about 2 minutes in. Thank you so much for listening! We'll see you at the movies!!!
