In this episode, we have Brent, Chris, TJ and David discuss last week’s homework (Monsters), their Watchlists, some Breezy on the Streets (Movie & TV News!) before going into the main topic: in honor of this week’s NFL Draft – we are doing our own draft – drafting desert island movies with NFL team names. But it’s more complicated than that. Delightfully arcane rules of elimination and selection are abound in this week’s podcast – even if you don’t like football, this should be fun.
