For the first time, The Bluff Council was sent a film to watch and discuss before it was released to the general public. That film? "Born a Champion," starring Sean Patrick Flanery, Katrina Bowden, and Dennis Quaid. In this episode (spoiler-free for the first portion), Keith and Ev dig into the personal nature of this story, the versatile performances, and they discuss how this film was not what either of them expected. Help us settle an ongoing argument: Who would win in a no-holds-barred fight in the desert between Keith and Ev? Comment your pick below.

In our first ever VIEWER RECOMMENDATION episode, Keith and Ev slide into "Fight Club," David Fincher's 1999 classic tale of mischief, mayhem, and soap. They talk about it all: Fincher's famous attention to detail, Brad Pitt's magnetism, toxic masculinity, the use of narration... everything. Keith compares Fincher to Michael Bay and Ev insults "Goodfellas." Trust us, you haven't seen an episode this good since grade school. Big thanks to our friend Richie for recommending this film! It was a great choice. What films would YOU like to see the #BluffBoyz talk about? Leave a comment and let us know!

We thought we were on winter break, but then "Wonder Woman 1984" appeared in our living rooms. If we're not going to complain about this movie on the internet... WHO IS!?

In this episode, Keith and Ev discuss the "story," the "special" effects, Pedro Pascal dialing it up to 11... everything that makes this "film" what it is. It's not a perfect movie, but it's... uh, it's... a movie, all right. Lasso yourself to your TV set and let's dig in.

Keith and Ev wrap up Season One of "What I Miss?" with a look back AND a look forward. They reflect on their Top Ten selections, and both guys have a couple alterations to make. They look forward to Season Two of the show, revealing the next five episodes, AND they need your help: What movies do you want to hear them talk about next? It's their self-professed "worst episode we've ever done," and you're not going to want to miss it!
