Friday Watchalong: Veere Di Wedding! 4pm Chicago Time!!!

Posted on June 11, 2021 by mredlich21

Yaaaay!!! And also “boo, einthusan”. This is a week where you really have to wait for me to say “and play” because sometimes it is hinky.

I love love love this movie! And it is Sonam and it is queer friendly, so perfect for Pride/Sonam birthday week

I’ll put up an “and play” comment at 4 (or soon after, Gods of streaming be with me) and you can all start commenting along!

  I am so impressed that you are up at this hour in Finland, Kirre. Midnight is usually at least 2 hours past my bedtime!

OK this is interesting I’m doing it on my smart TV through the browser and then when I changed from letting the browser load it up with HTML5 and clicked on airplay it automatically started playing so I have it paused right now but that worked for me maybe it will work for someone else
