In this jam-packed episode, the guys discuss the 2017 movie event, Get Out, as well as a "movie to avoid", and the topic "Favorite Psychological Thriller." However, this episode my remain memorable for the game Rodney put together for Chet's birthday. Rodney connected with several of the listeners as well as former guests of the show to surprise Chet with birthday wishes. From Checked Out in Jersey, Take Too, Zeng This, and Ivey, many loyal listeners joined in along with former guests like Tony Germanario, Deron Generally, Kacey Spivey, and even Rob Burnett!

In this episode there are not 1 but 2 guests! Right before we jumped on the phone with Charles Hood (Director of Night Owls) he told us that Seth Goldsmith was also available for the interview. What transpired was a conversation about "the creative process" held between 2 pairs of friends who love movies and have a blast talking about them!

This is a quick one and it's on Netflix so we highly recommend!

Lastly, Rodney plays "Racehorse or Movie?" This is where Chet says a name and Rodney has to guess if it is the name of a racehorse or a low-budget movie.
