My dog heard about last week’s hot movies and needed to join in. Other than him, Brent and TJ and I get together to do the damn thing and talk about the nonsense we watch, including prolonged talks about minions, vampires, and aliens. Who are they? And what do they know? We also talk about Survivor and The Challenge… so get caught up!

Also, sadly, spring break is over so professor Brent is assigning homework again. Next week we’ll be talking all about Seven (or Se7en or 7even or 7e7e7) as the newest candidate for the Talk of Fame!
