# Episode #22 – Vantage Point

We’re joined by comedian and [BestWeekEver.tv blogger](http://www.bestweekever.tv/author/Saras)Sara Schaefer to discuss [Vantage Point](http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0443274/), the movie that proves that any flimsy concept can be stretched to 85 minutes with the strategic deployment of flashbacks. Meanwhile, Sara reveals her tragic film-memory affliction, Stuart poses a provocative animal question, and Dan reveals a surprising amount of Funky Winkerbean knowledge.
