“Needs maybe ten stars. Nothing with this much heart could be allowed to live and so in the end it wasn’t. It’d be right as rain if it could come back, I don’t remember Jonathan giving away friggin’ Cadillacs…”

“I can’t stop listening to Heavyweight. The stories, the way Jonathan… IS, is so wonderful & entertaining. I find myself crying during many episodes because I can relate to the “Going back in time” to try and fix something.
It’s definitely worth your time.”
