(Recorded mid December 2011)  FOUR of the hosts are gathered up for ALMOST an entire show.  The ones who stay the longest have no life so that’s why Stoo leaves first, Mike Banner second and Ken and David Harris are the last men standing by the hour mark. We do manage to provide reviews of Last Road To Gallantry, Norweigan Wood, The Killer In White and discuss what movies to save for mankind and what movies we want to unearth from unfair obscurity.
