The second holiday classic we watched was the John Hughes-written, Chevy Chase-filled, christmas extravaganza Christmas Vacation; the third film in the National Lampoon's Vacation saga. This movie was chosen by Dan, and is a film he see's without question every year around the holiday's! Also, this is our first "commentary" episode, so dust off that VHS copy and follow along at home as we chat over the film as it's playing LIVE!

This is the first of our next four podcasts that are all Throw Back Thursday episodes, covering each of our favorite holiday films we watch every year. Clarence was up first and picked the winter-classic, Home Alone! Stay tuned for future picks in the coming weeks leading up to the New Year!

"We used to look up at the sky and wonder at our place in the stars. Now we just look down, and worry about our place in the dirt." - Cooper This month...yes we know it's been a while, but Clarence picked the Christopher Nolan Space Epic "Interstellar." Clarence, Michel, and Jonnie have a fun time talking about just how epic this film truly was, and towards the end have a convo about the internet breaker "STAR WARS 7 Trailer"

"Popularity is the slutty little cousin of prestige." - Mike Shiner This week was Jonnie's pick. He picked Birdman. It was an interesting picture. Please listen! Thanks! Enjoy! You will not be disappointed! No, for real, just listen and you will see, this is a great one.

I'll question him. What's your favorite color? You like chicken or beef? You a good dancer? You like fat girls? - Wardaddy We bring the Fury this week, as Michael picked the new Brad Pitt/Shia LaBeouf/Percy Jackson war film. I assure you the film we saw was not the prequel to "Balls of Fury" but we certainly wish it was. Per usual "Spoiler Alert!"

I swear, you two are the most fucked up people I've ever known and I specialize in fucked up. - Tanner Bolt This week Dan picked the newest offering from David Fincher, Gone Girl. As always "Spoiler Alert!" as we go super deep into this twisted story and all parts of the film are up for discussion and debate!

That girl, Alana... She's gonna go on living. You... You're gonna bleed out all over this funky floor... All over 9,800 dollars. - Robert McCall This week Clarence picked, The Equalizer, starring Denzel Washington and directed by Antoine Fuqua. We had tons to say on this new release as it DID NOT turn out to be the movie we all thought it might be...

Wicked is good. - Ava Paige This week, Jonnie, picked the science fiction action thriller film directed by Wes Ball, based on James Dashner's 2009 book of the same name, Maze Runner.

This is the first episode of the Down to Watch (DTW) Podcast. This week Dan, Jonnie, Clarence and Michel sit down and take a look at the movie Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.
