# Episode #88 – Priest

What can we say about [Priest](http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0822847/) except that it’s marginally better than Legion?  At this rate, director Scott Charles Stewart and star Paul Bettany should get it right in another hundred movies or so.  Meanwhile Stuart calmly usurps Elliott’s role as master recapper, Tom expounds on the joy of a roller-skating Patrick Swayze, and Dan ponders more fully the intricacies of pronouncing “Cam Gigandet.”
