Hungry for More
A little slow at times but it's a great subject. I hope the creators work with MPT to film a documentary that can flesh out the details. Was the data collected used by Twin Cities cereal companies to develop formulas especially for starving populations?

I Know Those Profiles!
A fun overview of the app for those who know and those who don't. I agree about stupid faceless profiles, but I disagree about a LinkedIn pic, to each our own! :-P

Cute, cliche.
I was expecting more Asian culture struggles given the description but whatever. The script was good but needs updating. I don't think anyone does online-only chatting like these characters for so long any more, maybe back in the 1990s and mostly just in movies. Still, a good Fringe effort with adorable actors.

Expected Something Else
My kids are gamers and at first I recommended this to them after seeing the preview, but then I unrecommended it after seeing the whole thing. It would make a better podcast. It drifts away from gaming right away to basically tell three life stories that weren't memorized. Intriguing stories, but not when I think what I paid to see it.

Nailed it, and/or Railed It
A witty script that starts out kinda wholesome, jumps the tracks onto something completely different, but still ends up wholesome after all. This is a gem that you will want to see, Spirit of the Fringe award if not more. Well rehearsed and full of energy, AA or plug in. I'm also glad to see any set that is more than just a table and chair, I liked the look. All aboard, you are in for an unsuspecting ride!
