MIGsy Film Club

A spinoff of our Mind In the Gutter Podcast where we watch classic films, hidden gems, and new movies. We don't take it too seriously, we mostly drink beer and try to find something interesting to say.

Christine's Final Destination 10/26/2021

Christine's Final Destination Every year around Halloween Josh convinces Christine to watch a couple of spooky movies.
