Delving once more into the world of older, not quite mainstream, not quite obscure movies, the Beards have used the power of trivia to narrow down their selection to "Frequency" (2000). A film about a firefighter father in 1969 and his detective son in 1999 who can communicate with each other using the same HAM radio.

In an effort to break up the monotony, the Beards have decided to start up a new mini-series: Movie Night! The Beards take turns quizzing each other on movie trivia in order to narrow down a selection of movies until one remains.
