Mar 1800:34:14Tap to summarizeA lot of films these days have actors playing against themselves, the Oscar nominated film Sinners being one of the latest to do this. With computers, split screen technology has only gotten better. This Michael Keaton film is one of early examples of the computer generated phenom. But does that make the picture any good?

Feb 2500:35:09Tap to summarizeBoth George and Joe have heard of this film but neither had seen it before. Well, that's over now. Obviously, they will discuss if this film still works or not but that's not their first question. The first question is about Matthew McConaughey's character. Is that dude a pedo?
