## Resource

Not too big of a summary this time around since the title says it all and there’s a lot to get to in terms of the episode proper. Every year around late February / early March, I call upon Chicago film critic buddies Collin Souter & Erik Childress to join me for an epic 5 hour+ episode discussing as many movies as we can, traveling back in time 30 years to cover an entire year. Clips, trailers, songs, quotes, excerpts, a trailer remix and more! Thank you Collin & Erik as always and thank you to the fans/listeners/subscribers for listening to this yearly tradition. Follow Collin https://letterboxd.com/cdsouter https://www.nowplayingnetwork.net/christmasmoviesactually https://www.collinsouter.com Follow Erik https://letterboxd.com/erikthemovieman https://www.nowplayingnetwork.net/moviemadness https://www.nowplayingnetwork.net/the-friendship-dilemma
