Let us serve you up with another episode as Brendan and Jason delve into the Merchant Ivory classic The Remains of the Day about a loyal-to-a-fault butler and his staff. The guys wonder if Mr. Stevens truly has an opinion or if it's just repressed, they talk about the representation of Lord Darlington as a sympathizer, they praise Christopher Reeve's acting and debate the ending and we also find out a little bit regarding the history of how Merchant-Ivory came together. The guys also roll the dice to find out what they'll be watching next week.
