Be Safe
It is better to stay home and wait for the movies to become available online so, you can watch them on your big TV screens. Although this doesn’t compare to the cinematic experience, it’s better to be safe than sorry. Last week I too dialed Spectrum phone number so I could upgrade my TV plans. Now I have a great variety of content for the whole family!
