So it finally happened. We had our first technical error. Actually, Matt forgot to hit record... So, we've been playing catch up to re-record. BUT, We got it all straightened out and things are back on track. Sorry for the delay...

We probably recorded one of the best episodes yet. Only to find that it hadn't been recorded at all. So we tried our best to recount the topics we covered, all while adding some new ones. It's a quick hour of Tal and Matt playing catch up. There is laughs, jokes and of course recommendations. We talk about Tal's trip to the D, being appreciated by your boss. The future of movies and so much more. We hope you missed hearing our voices. ARMY... we're back!
