Brothers’ Bond: A Pokemon Story, Chapter 18

Chapter 18 Floaroma Town was barely an outskirt of a suburb, a small stopover village nestled in the woods at the bottom of Mount Coronet. In comparison, Celestic Town may well have been a bustling center of trade.

Above The Knee Review

Every so often, you find a movie that doesn’t quite belong on the streaming service on which you find it. To that end, my wife and I just watched the 1999 film Jawbreaker… on Shudder.

It’s a great conversational piece, too, for the comments section. How would YOU rank them, et cetera, et cetera.

Brothers’ Bond: A Pokemon Story, Chapter 16
