Worst film I've ever seen!

These guys are hilarious and have a great balance of discussing mainstream films and also some classics, and a healthy portion of obscure films too. I'm a better film lover for listening! Thanks guys!

Ps seriously Armando watch The Fountain. Take a no-doze first though.

Comprehensive

I say comprehensive, but I mean verbose... but in a good way! These guys obviously love talkin' movies. Great work.

Also, Inside Llewelyn Davis was WAY deeper than you guys gave it credit for.
