  • Mostly a movie episode: Texas Chainsaws, Freaky, the Last Duel, and also getting your family presents with the Marlboro Miles.

    We now have a Patreon: Join to enter our Discord 

    Vince Vaughn deserves an Oscar for Freaky.  True Detective Season two is lowkey the best season. We love the Raid. The New Texas Chainsaw Massacre is better than the critics are saying. Sameer talks about the Last Duel.  We find a way to shoehorn 911 and the War on Terror into this episode as we do with all episodes. Remember Marlboro Miles. We do! We started a Discord. And will have Patreon up ASAP.
