We are back together again, and this time, we have one of the best Chicago film critics as our guest.  Sergio Mims joins us to discuss our first director of musical classics such as MEET ME IN ST. LOUIS and AN AMERICAN IN PARIS. There is a whole lot to say about the great Vincente Minelli. In addition to some Christmas goodies dispersed throughout the episode (be sure to stay to the end if you dare), we also touch upon Minelli's versatile filmography later in the show.  Before that, though, we have discussions about some of the best films of 2013 including AMERICAN HUSTLE, NEBRASKA, 12 YEARS A SLAVE, a differing opinion on INSIDE LLEWYN DAVIS, as well as a couple of recent documentaries too!
