12 Round Gun: Why is it even called 12 Round Gun
12 Round Gun (2018, boxing) is absolute trash written by, directed by, and starring Sam Upton. It's horrendous. It's a clusterf*ck. It needs to be seen to be believed. Could this be the lowest-scoring movie ever reviewed on the show?

Invincible: Marky Mark and the Phunky Bunch
Invincible (2006, football) stars Mark Wahlberg and Elizabeth Banks...or is it Rachel McAdams? Whatever.

Rob's theory that everything is funnier with a monkey is put to the test, and Mac's fundamental misunderstanding of a character sends the gang into hysterics. MVP: Most Valuable Primate (2000, hockey) is a ridiculous schlocky film that has to be seen to be believed. Just...don't read too far into the monkey's romantic history.

It's explained.

The boys are back! Casey, Mac and Rob take a look at Miracle (2004, hockey) directed by Gavin O'Connor.

To prevent a gush-fest, the boys are tasked with finding two critiques of the film, including Rob's red-hot take about the infamous Herbies "Mike Eruzione" scene...
