And even more...if we can fit it!

We're winding down 2013 here at the PDC and what better way to celebrate the second to last show of the year than to talk about the worst that the theaters had to offer in 2013! If you have ever heard one of our "worst of" shows you know it's CERTAINLY not to miss. 

It's not all things awful though as we get to talk two major awards contenders and possibly the most anticipated comedy sequel of the year with American Hustle, Inside Llewyn Davis, and Anchorman 2: The Legend Continues.
