Writing Season 4

Hello Team, A look into the writerÂ’s room between seasons: 1st writer: Dude I have an idea for season 4 2nd writer: Do you have to light up in here? The whole room smells like the Austin Reggae festival. 1st: What if, and get this, what if we do the...

MIB Shot on The Roof

Hello Hosts! Just a thought about how the man in black was just knocked out on the roof after being shot. I was thinking that the bullets were just some sort of projectiles to knock people/hosts out. I figure they are going into the city and they probably don’t want...
