  • 8 - Singin’ in the Rain
    Happy Thanksgiving! Nothing going to rain on our parade! Oh wait, wrong musical. This week, the guys discuss Singin' in the Rain. Does its stellar dancing and charismatic stars make up for a meandering story? One of the hosts thinks it does, and you'll never guess who!

  • 4 - Goodfellas
    Don't judge Jon too harshly; he's caught enough bits and pieces of Goodfellas on cable. But this is the first time he's seen the whole thing, uninterrupted or without looking like a freakin' jerk. Does he think of it as highly as Greg does? Find out how unlikely that is.

  • 2 - The Warriors
    This week, Jon and Greg argue over The Warriors, the 1979 film that revealed a, let's say, more colorful depiction of New York gang life. Which brother found it more enjoyable. Will they ever agree on anything? CAN YOU DIG IT?
