Happy New Year!

We hope you had a fun time celebrating, but now it's time to get back to the rat race of life. Since Ray had to take a break from the stress of the show, we were able to lure Matt Goodman back on, so we'll be exploiting his good graces until he leaves to go back to his own academic rat race. So while you're slowly lifting yourself up off the floor and trying to remove the weight of holiday stress from around your neck, check out the Pundits as we'll even go so far as to the discuss the difficulties of recommending comedies and horror films!

Cast: Sarah "Reel Monkey" Bonilla, Nate "Boxman" Zoebl, and Matt Goodman
