Welcome to 2021! We start the new year off with a brand new FILM STUDIES with 3 new to the show guest co-hosts and a pretty bad movie.



Relive your childhood (or someone else's if you're not of the right age or disposition) and join Michael, Enrique, Tom and Davidie as we discuss the 2009 Action Extravaganza that is G.I. Joe: Rise of Cobra which has several writer credits including Screenplay credits to Stuart Beattie, David Elliot & Paul Lovett with Story By credits to Stuart Beattie, Michael B. Gordon and Stephen Sommers. The film was directed by Stephen Sommers
