Why Did I Get Married
In the future, no one should make Mike the keeper of secrets.

There was a slave’s skull examined, smeared blood on one’s face, and overt racism. It doesn’t get any more disgusting than that. Fun fact, Leonardo DiCaprio really cut his hand up in the scene but stayed in character.

While this was funny, I would hate to attend dinner with the klumps and their flatulence.
