  • UGLIES | the matrix for kids

    UGLIES | the matrix for kids
    Sep 24 2024

    Well, turns out dystopian trilogies are so not back. In this episode we discuss the Uglies and the new Uglies Netflix movie. While RiLee experienced teenage nostalgia revisiting the series, Sam read it for the first time for this episode and has...some thoughts.

    This episode contains spoilers for the Uglies film, as well as the entire Uglies trilogy (it came out in 2005, you've had enough time).


    Rating: 6.5/10
