Since they talked about the documentary Man on Wire, this week the guys discuss the Robert Zemeckis' feature film adaptation of the real story of Philippe Petit and his infamous wire-walk - the aptly-titled The Walk. They talk about Joseph Gordon-Levitt's performance and accent work, Annie getting short-changed here even moreso than the documentary, the look of the climactic walk and much more. Plus: the ultimate debate - even if the movie is good... is it necessary?

Next week: A spiritual sequel of sorts!
