Not edible, even if you thought it sounded good.

Easily digested, however. Most people simply devour it in their favorite genres.

My wife was familiar with the phrase. Silly me thought it sounded disgusting, only to be pleasantly surprised.

    I'd never heard this phrase before either! I like the way you used "digested" and "devour" to contrast with the inedibility haha

    I'm not familiar with the ohrase. I remember seeing the trailer and thinking "I might watch that"... but I've never got round to it 🤔

    I enjoyed the film too; a fun critique Randy.

  • Great critique - I’m definitely intrigued! Which I would not have been by the title as you rightly say 🙈👌✨

  • Oooo, it's a movie? Loved your review!

    Pastor-Bud ~ No 'F' for everything word from me today. But, G.O.D. is punishing us with the 'Goop' of a hurricane today. Speaking of the 'Edible' Lic. I once had a 'Tub' of Red-'Lic on my desk but nobody could ever just take - 1 - could you? J-Bud

    Not to be confused with Mystic Pizza. Have not see this one but your description of “easily digestible” makes it sound intriguing. Thank you!
