Due to the ongoing refusal of the AMPTP to negotiate in good faith with the WGA or with our union brothers and sisters in SAG/AFTRA, we’re hitting pause on discussing current releases, and focusing on some films 90’s kids will remember.

Meanwhile Dan exhibits his terrible taste in painters, Stuart explains how this movie would improve with the addition of Jeff Fahey, and Elliott reveals his sadistic side. 0:00 – 0:31 – […]
