62: ‘Gone Girl’ Starring Ben Affleck, Rosamund Pike, Neil Patrick Harris

Don’t listen to this week’s episode. Well, unless you’ve already seen Gone Girl that is. Granted, we have the word “spoilers” right there in our name. But it’s never been more true than this week.

60: Kevin Smith’s ‘Tusk’ Starring Justin Long, Michael Parks
