  • Liam again struggles with some choices made by the filmmmakers
  • We discuss a legendary supporting actor who plays completely against type
  • We ask where Rosamund Pike has been hiding all this time
  • How many men are necessary before we can call something a BOYS NIGHT
  • Ian's brought a beverage for a BFE taste test segment
  • Liam claims he's never heard one of the biggest hits of the 2010s
  • Someone take issue with one specific line near the end of the film
  • Whether or not The Help is the Best Film Ever
