Episode 5: Christopher Tate

Join us for an in-depth discussion with our guest, Christopher Tate.  Although Christopher is a long-time friend of our host, his list of influential movies still offers up some surprises.  Listen in to the rambling conversation that comes from many years of familiarity and learn about candy bars for sharks, the hell of war, and the reality of happily-ever-afters.  As a bonus, enjoy both guest and host completely misremembering important plot points of a favorite movie (see if you can spot the error).
