Gabriel decides the best way to fix Arge's life is to magically swap it with Jeff, a ridiculously wealthy tech billionaire played by Seth Rogen! In this episode, we discuss: Gabriel's hilarious punishment of losing his angel wings and discovering the joy of human food—especially chicken nuggets. The sharp social commentary on wealth inequality, capitalism, and the gig economy. Standout performances from Sandra Oh as the head angel and Keke Palmer as Elena, who is trying to unionize the workers. Whether or not this funny, message-driven movie is worth your time!
