This week the crew switches it up with a Genre Draft. We randomly pull a genre, and each host has to choose one movie to represent it. No repeats, no excuses, and every pick has to be defended.

Marques, Triz, and Lloyd go head-to-head breaking down what makes a movie worthy of carrying an entire genre, while arguing the classics vs. the sleepers and the cultural impact vs. pure quality.

It’s competitive, it’s hilarious, and it’s straight Locked Picturesque.
