And we're off! The 1950s Slacket is in full gear. Paola and Patrick are joined again by producer Jason to break down the Round 1 results, but not until first reviewing the 50s movie of the week: Anatomy of a Murder. (See IMDb for the amazing poster discussed in the episode.)

Is Johnny Guitar a better name for Lonesome Rhodes? Will the entire Apu Trilogy meet a swift end? Has anyone seen Alex and Batman in the same room??? Listen to the end to find out.

To follow along and check out everyone's predictions about the outcome you can visit our official Bracket Page on challonge.com. Voting is open to all Slackfilmcast members. Links, reminders, discussion, and general rabble-rousery happen in the #slacket channel. For feedback or questions you can also reach us at [email protected].
