This week, Derek and Chris go back to the year 1984 to a time before Tom Hanks was an award-winning actor and the most-respected actor of his generation. It was a time when Tom Hanks starred in a raunchy sex comedy. The guys review “Bachelor Party”. Chris and Derek talk about the box office performance that year, the cast, memorable scenes, quotes and behind-the-scenes trivia about the movie.

For the trivia segment of the show, Derek has Chris play a game of ‘Pick the Flick” where Chris has to guess the titles of movies about bachelor parties.

This week, Derek and Chris run down some of their personal favorite movies that are ‘third installments’ in a movie series or franchise. Chris’ movies are all older Gen-X films (surprising, I know). Derek’s movies are mostly newer films. 

For the trivia segment of the show, Chris debuts a new game, “Name the Tagline” (complete with a brand new theme song). In the game, Chris gives the tagline form a film, Derek has to guess the title of the film that goes with each tagline. The common thread is that all of the movies are ‘third installments’.

This week, Derek wanted to have Chris watch a ‘newer’ film so the guys watched and review the 2017 Wolverine movie, “Logan”.

Chris has seen very few of the Marvel movies and he was completely unaware of the Wolverine character going into it (he had never even read a Wolverine comic book), so this gives a fresh perspective. Chris and Derek discuss the box office, the cast and their overall takes of the film.

For the trivia segment of the show, Chris quizzes Derek on some general ‘superhero’ trivia.
