Author: Ask Me About Kpop December 16, 2021 Duration: 1:38:02
It's our first actual in-theatre movie club movie!! We schlepped up to Universal CityWalk to see Monsta X: The Dreaming in theatres and now we're gonna tell you about it! Stay tuned for a full recap of the movie if you didn't catch it yourself. After, we get out all of our questions and complaints about why this didn't quite feel like a movie? Plus, tons of thoughts and feelings from listeners who also went to the movie, and Shannon's story of visiting the LA pop up shop. Then, the random game brings us our first deep dive idea for 2022?!? And spoiler alert, even MORE talk about The Dreaming: The Album for recommendation time!
