In a very special, extra-large episode, Rob and Allison join me to break down the 1991 classic, The Silence of the Lambs.

Snatch is arguably Guy Ritchie's best movie - at least it is in my opinion. Allison, Eric, Mike and I all have an affinity for this amazing movie, and we breakdown all its best details, including: trivia, casting, best scenes and memorable quotes. Is it Brad Pitt's best performance? Is it Dennis Farina's best role? Is it the breakout movie for Jason Statham? Who knows? Regardless, Snatch is super entertaining and funny - so check it out.

This is the first part of a two-part episode, and includes a fun, crazy game of "Bond Girl Names: Real or Fake?" Check out this episode as a primer for part 2, which will drop very soon.

Just in time for its 30th anniversary, Allison and Eric join me to break down 1991's Point Break. While considered by many to be a pop culture classic, upon rewatching, this movie is surprisingly light on signature quotes and memorable lines.
