Hello everyone, and welcome to another episode of Once and Always a Fanboy!I got the amazing opportunity to talk to the two lead actors from one of my favorite Netflix shows: Nobody Wants This.

And having two actors who defined that golden era of TV show us they’ve still got it, now that was something truly special. It was so special getting the chance to speak to
