I’m watching some of #FastTimesLive and I have some thoughts:
1) I LOVE seeing Brad and Jen together on the same screen 😍
2) Shia LaBeouf is making me anxious. I feel like any minute he’s going to go off-script.
3) Morgan Freeman is a national treasure.— Mandy Hale (@MissMandyHale) September 18, 2020
