WITH A PENCIL: Who’s the Better Tough-Guy Movie Dog Owner?

That theme can be anything from characters from similar movievations, merciless mentors, and killer robots. They will then break down the connections of that main theme through a series of segments and games to share their love for not only these two movies, but cinema and its themes as a whole.
