# Episode #148 – Gangster Squad

We return to a big, old-fashioned Hollywood flop with [Gangster Squad](http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1321870/), the movie that takes a bunch of good actors and a promising director and churns out a film thats absurd and deadly dull by turns. Meanwhile Elliott gives Hoagie Carmichael gift advice, Stuart comes out for cast awareness, and Dan is tired and really doesn’t keep up his end of the co-hosting duties. This episode brought to you by the letter “H.”
