Realize it’s a money – rights thing because of amc , but hopefully shudder and amc will listen to the wisdom of you and Darcy, and of course us . Let’s face , you’ll are the biggest thing shudder got going on . There a great service to but that there fuckin incredible now because of you and darcy , and all the last drive in staff !!
