Please, please please, drop us a comment. We really do want to hear your feedback. We want to make the channel the best it can be, but we're just kinda winging it until y'all start dropping the well intended feedback. Just sayin' early adopters get to help shape the channel.

Laura talks about why The Great Escape is her # 19 pick of all time. Darryl thinks part of the end is a comedy, and she corrects him. Quite firmly. 

Darryl defends why #casablanca is one of the greatest films of all time. Laura agrees and (tries to) defend why she had never watched it before.
