If you're a fan of movies, you know who William Sadler is. He's almost certainly been in at least one of your favorite movies (like the Tim Curry meme, it would be a good personality test to see what your first association with his name and face is) and we had the best time discussing his career.

We're back with our most divisive episode yet! Josh "Brian" Bermont and Kelly Hager discuss The Shining and we put author Alex Grass in the middle. Is it a great movie? Who's to say? But it's definitely beloved by many people!
Alex handles his tiebreaker status with flair and just as a warning, do not eat or drink during this episode because there's a decent chance you'll choke. This could be our funniest episode to date and that's a high bar.
NOTE: There are spoilers in this episode.
