This week, J. McVay and Matt Ruby discuss a few topics they’ve been following this week:

A new commercial from razor company, Gillette, that’s angered so-called men’s rights activist.

Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi’s letter to President Trump effectively canceling the upcoming State Of The Union address unless the government shutdown is ended.

The announcement that director Jason Reitman will be directed a sequel to his father’s ‘Ghostbusters’ films.

Also, Charles Hinshaw and J. McVay discuss the 2018 movie, ‘First Reformed,’ directed by Paul Schrader and starring Ethan Hawke, Amanda Seyfried, and Cedric The Entertainer.

And we’ll take an exclusive early listen to a performance by a band from New Paltz, NY, called Top Nachos, from their upcoming BTR Live Studio session.
