In order to save the Thanksgiving Day Employee Luncheon, Dave volunteers himself and the rest of the gang for a High Risk-High Reward movie review that could single handedly fund the jeopardized store event.

A film drama of uncommon power!

Well, it’s Thanksgiving, and yours truly has some bad news…I may have squandered all of the store’s budget on that big Apocalypse Video Trivia Showdown episode this past Summer, and unfortunately that means there isn’t enough money left over to provide for the annual Thanksgiving Day Employee Luncheon that my subordinates have come to expect. To be honest, I was seriously considering closing the place down and high tailing it to Citadel with all the store’s remaining supplies and opening up a tiny video store kiosk in the Immortan Hoof mall.

But my luck may have just changed…

It turns out there’s work available for those needing a large sum of money fast - dangerous work - but hell, it beats getting torn apart by angry employees demanding their yearly meal of Taco Bell Baja-Cranberry sauce and queso stuffing.

I’m your host, Dave, and joining me as we embark on a dangerous mission that we may have already done in the form of an American remake years prior are fellow cinephiles Mike and Ryan.

Topics of discussion in this episode include a film that is sure to cause clenched buttholes; we wonder if Nintendo used The Wages of Fear as inspiration for the naming of their two biggest mascots; and finally, we debate whether gags in things like The Simpsons have forever ruined the notion of adding “Fin” to the end of your movie.
