434 | A Tribute to William Bruce West
After Lunch
Our dear friend and frequent podcast guest William Bruce West passed away on April 12. We miss him dearly. Part of the grieving process has been to talk about our friend and share memories of him, so the podcast community that Will was such an important part of has put together this tribute episode.

433 | The Cast List Card Game
After Lunch
It's Game Night! We've formed two teams of movie fans: Jaime Hood, Joanna from Bloody Popcorn, Noel Thingvall, and Rob Graham on one team; Becky Tyler, Pax Holley, Jacob Bean-Watson, and Ben Graham on the other. We're playing a card game in which Michael acts as host, giving each team a list of movies to see if they can name an actor who has been in all those movies. Some of them are easy, some of them are quite hard. Play along and see how many you get!
