    The Hateful Eight

    Teacher and Colorado resident Jason Rasmussen joins me to discuss one of those movies I've been dying to talk about ever since I started this podcast, Quentin Tarantino's long disrespected 2015 masterpiece The Hateful Eight. This is absolute one of my top recommendations of any movie I've ever covered on Staff Picks. Oh, and P.S., you have to use two boards.

    American Pie

    Fellow child of the 90s Christine Giver joins me to talk about one of those movies that I've always felt is much better and much sweeter than it ever gets credit for, 1999's American Pie. Which honestly might be my all-time favorite teen movie.
