Therefore, I thought I’d give you a very “Quadzilla Sam” commentary on the movies and shows of my stay-cation. Be wary of minor spoilers and major sass.

It's Week Three of isolation, so I've decided to make a video of all my daily emotions with the help of the Backstreet Boys. It's got the comedic value of a well-timed fart!
