The latter is the basis for new film "One Day," which is the latest film looked at in Kristen and Rafer's podcast.

July 29, 2011Movie Date: 'Cowboys & Aliens'This week, Movie Date is going out West by way of outer space.

June 24, 2011Movie Date: 'Bad Teacher'This week, Rafer and Kristen couldn't disagree more about Cameron Diaz comedy "Bad Teacher."
