Andrew and I got rolling and in what seemed like a few minutes, 50 of those bad boys went floating by. We talked about some business of sports by comparing it to the business of the music industry. We talked about the NBA playoffs, the Cavs, the Browns draft and pretty much everything else other than the Indians. We like the Indians though.

Brian Spaeth has decided to take on summer movies and he is going to drag me along for the ride. We'll have strict policies on spoilers, and not springing them on you, but we're going to document the entire 2013 summer movie season. At least that's the plan until I get served divorce papers. Here are the movies that we plan on seeing with a few changes and audibles along the way I'm guessing.

Listen to our plan and make sure to comment and let us know what you'd like to see from this project.
