    With the recent release of two 28 Years Later movies, the boys felt it was necessary to discuss this now-24-year-old series.

Take a stroll down memory lane with the boys as they go through the films in the series and their surprising evolution. Listen and find out!

    The Mist

    The Halloween times are here! And there is no better way to celebrate than with the 2007 Frank Darabont horror classic, The Mist! The boys talk about Darabont and how 75% of his filmography consists of Stephen King adaptations, and his abrupt departure from directing. Most people who think about this movie only remember the horrific ending, but the boys love every bit of this miserable film. Listen and find out!
