2 weeks in a row? In this economy?? We're back on track (for now) and will endeavor to remain so. We even have our next one planned concretely! Anywell, we kept the news relatively light, had some solid consumption (this is America after all), and a newish movie to boot. All aboard.

BACK!! After a partially planned, and also partially unplanned, hiatus that was significantly longer than we anticipated, we return to ring in the new year with a new movie. We're a little more free and organic in this one; we're less tied to our regular format strictly separating new/notes/nuggets/etc. It's just us (and you) talking about the last few months and then our movie conversation. This is an important infraction point in the run of our show.

One of our absolute longest episodes, due to a break, SDCC, and a juicy movie topic, you can also find topics such as the Museum of Failure, Cruise Brawls, Witcher casting, and a Subway Sandwich. It's customary to bow to this Supreme of an episode.
