So Spencer and I are unfortunately slammed with work this week but to give you all something still to listen to, we broke one of our old episodes out of the copyright vault. That's right after a long awaited fight we have re-released our highly popular, Philadelphia episode. Thanks again to all our listeners and hope you enjoyed our D&D episode. We'll be back in two weeks with the top tier commentary we always bring.

It’s past Valentine’s Day but we still have love in our cold dead hearts so we watched a movie where a guy with definitely no red flags sues a dating site, 2020’s Love, Guaranteed. Please like and give 5 stars so we can fund our class action against Burger King for not letting us have it our way when we said we wanted a fulfilling life.

No new movie this week we are coming to you with our tails between our legs (sorry Oliver Stone but not you Gods Not Dead). This week we take a look at our past scores over the 1.5 years we’ve done this pod and seeing maybe where we missed the mark. Please like, subscribe, and give us a 5 star review or I’m giving God’s Not Dead a lower score.
