We take a break away from what we normally do and instead we "geek out" over the movie event of the year, Avengers Infinity War. Chet and Lyndon discuss a few things BEFORE seeing the movie and then give their reactions AFTER seeing it!

Before Viewing: Top and Bottom 3 MCU Films, 3 character death predictions, and a look back on the spectacle of the MCU.

After Viewing: Our 3 biggest takeaways and 3 questions we're left with.

What about you? What were your takeaways? What are your lasting questions? What are your theories about what's next?

Warning....this one went off the rails. Chet and Rodney found themselves in rare form.
The Land Before Time, Friday the 13th, Air Bud, and Madea just to name a few! Chet and Rodney (in the absence of Lyndon) take on several examples of movie franchises with far too many sequels. We're sure you will be as surprised as we were to hear how many installments of Home Alone there are! Can you name all of the 9 "Ernest" films?!

Plus we read some of YOUR answers to the question, "What is one movie I wish got a sequel?"

Get the tissues ready. We were blessed to be joined by Sam Humphrey who play Tom Thumb in The Greatest Showman. Listen in as Sam opens up about the obstacles he faced on his path towards being an actor which included living with a disability as well as the emotional and mental battles he encountered. An amazing story of faith, positivity, and determination led to Sam acting alongside his childhood hero, Hugh Jackman. 

Also, does Zac Efron whistle songs from High School Musical on set?

So now that the Oscars are here, you heard about all of the Best Picture Nominees but are any of them actually worth seeing?? We still aim to help you save time and "Take Back Movie Night" but this time it is through the lens of ranking the Best Picture Nominees 10-1 (there were 9 but we cheated and added 1....shhh).

Also, we asked YOU what your "favorite movie of 2017 was that DID NOT get nominated." In this episode you will hear us reference several interviews we have done including Kurt Braunohler (The Big Sick), Hayden Szeto (The Edge of 17), and Paul Walter Hauser (I, Tonya). You can find those older episodes in our library and be sure to look for next weeks episode which is an interview with Sam Humphrey of The Greatest Showman!
