433: Wild Wild West

This week we talk about one from the vaults of film history: PICTURE PERFECT!

This week we discuss a true classic: WILLY WONKA AND THE CHOCOLATE FACTORY!

This week we’re discussing the inspiring coming of age movie DEAD POETS SOCIETY!

This week, we’re chatting about the not-technically-a-flop-but-still-has-flop-energy film EDGE OF TOMORROW!
