    TIMESTAMPS!

    0:10 - Welcome to Joe, who is a big jerk who sees all the movies before we get to. 4:40 - Are we desperate enough to watch interim, non-football sports? Are we just stereotypical mid-30s white dudes? Also, commercials used to be good, and now they aren’t. 14:30 - TRAILERS!

What better time to draft our favorite movies based on video games? 56:15 - REVIEW! Tom Holland and a cast of well-played villains make this a movie that you might not forget entirely! 1:07:30 - Next time, on The Chumpcast….
