merudanda, thank you so much for this. And for making me smile. Was contemplating rejoining Netflix in order to watch. BTW I think Rick could interview all the people in this movie and really give those guys and gals on Bat forum something to shriek about. I don't participate there but I've heard something about 700 replies to one interview, etc.

While it will strike some as smug and others as sincere or freewheeling funny , it certainly has a feel-good tone and playful attitude, both of which could draw FFL congregants to this pasteurized version of "What the #$*!
