Matrix-level Hint-dodging On Display. Allen is on point today with The Dangers in My Heart: Season 2, which he finds even better than the first season. Sometimes, massive weirdos really do deserve the best. And so it goes. Next week, work is going to the dogs and all the other animals as well, apparently, so see you then. -Stig Høgset.
