  1. But that’s Caan though. They are the most pretentious people in the history of the world. Who cares what they think?

  2. I think I like the multiple month approach a little more. At least when it comes to the game portion. I was more surprised by some of the pics. Biggest was Kevin picking Neon Demon to be Certified Fresh. Based on the reaction it got at Caan I would bet Rotten for sure.

    2. Glad you like the new approach! Yea, my picks are often wrong unfortunately haha

  3. My bet for the best movies of the rest of the summer: Jason Bourne, Kubo and the Two Strings, and Sucidie Squad.

    My bet for the worst: Yoga Hosers, Ben-Hur and, Nine Lives.

  5. I never heard about Nine Lives before this podcast and I could have sworn it was some sort of joke you were all pulling. Then I saw the trailer. DEAR GOD NO! How did Kevin Spacey say yes to that? Why dear god why!
