Excruciatingly awful performance

For many minutes straight, you are treated to the disgusting, smacking, chomping eating sounds of one of the characters. An important conversation is going on at the time of awfulness. Not much good to balance out this.

If you have misophonia, avoid this one. NOT worth it.
