Thoughts from Your Host…
Small peek behind the curtain – Episode 299 was harder to plan and pull off that Episode 300 is proving to be! My feeling is that in-part that’s because 300 has so many more moving parts that I’ve been putting more effort into that, and getting a little ahead of myself..
Oops.
Oddly enough, there are things about this episode that dovetail nicely into the next, but offering a full explanation would spoil the surprise!
Apologies in advance for going full-spoilers on this episode, but I really do believe that the film requires it. That said, I don’t feel as though it’s the sort of film that comes with a big twist, so hopefully you’ll permit us for once.
