It’s the 75th Anniversary of the Frank Capra classic, It’s A Wonderful Life. This film has steadily played every Christmas season for 75 years and we were very excited to talk about it. This is the oldest film we’ve ever done an episode on and brought back Rob’s Dad, Fred Lundquist, to chat about it with us.

Had a blast chatting with Fred and ended this episode with a Starting 5 game and our Patrons can watch us draft our Top 5 Movies with Angels Draft.

We hope you all have a wonderful holiday season. This will be our last episode of the year and will be taking a few weeks off. We’ll see you next year!

We got 3 of some of our best recurring guests who are great with our movie trivia games to compete against each other in our Movie Game Night: Battle of the Champions.

Home Free’s own Tim Foust, Hound and the Fox’s Reilly Zamber, and Rob’s best friend from Kindergarten, Timmy St.Sauver, all played a full 3 rounds of our movie jeopardy game we call Bend It Like Trebekumm. It was EPIC.

A tale as old as time, Beauty and the Beast is celebrating its 30th anniversary. This film was a big part of our childhoods and we went and got a huge Disney buff who knows this film better than most, our good buddy Matt Atwood.

This is Matt’s first time doing a regular movie episode with us and he was great. We ended the episode with a movie quotes game and our Patrons can watch us draft our Top 5 Films Where Inanimate Objects Come To Life.

If you haven’t seen the new Ryan Reynolds film, Free Guy, we highly recommend you check it out. Chris Rupp recommended this film to us and we thought we’d bring him back on the pod to talk about it. He had some fun takes and we enjoyed talking with him again.

We end this episode with a Starting 5 game and our Patrons can watch us draft our Top 5 Favorite Ryan Reynolds Films.

It’s available now to rent, definitely worth the rental price. Enjoy!

It’s been 20 years since we were introduced to the masked vigilante known as V in V For Vendetta. This DC Comics film rocked us when it came out and we’ve had it on the schedule all year to release as close to the 5th of November as we could get.

Back to the show is our good buddy and film enthusiast, Timmy St.Sauver, who we always enjoy talking with on the pod.

We conclude this episode with an Imitation Game and our Patrons can watch us draft our Top 5 DC Comics Films.

Enjoy some V!

If you’ve listened to this podcast regularly you would know that we reference The Long Kiss Goodnight all the time. When we found out it was having it’s 25th Anniversary we knew we had to do an episode on it.

Our good friend, Max Felsheim, loves him an action movie and it was a no-brainer having him on for this episode. He always cracks us up and has super fun takes.

We conclude with an Imitation Game and our Patrons can see us draft our Top 5 Amnesia Films.

If you’ve forgotten, we so appreciate you listening to our show and if the spirit moves you to write a positive review wherever you get your podcasts, that would be awesome.
