The long missing Thom West joins us in the War Room this week for a dissection of The Boy Next Door, starring Jennifer Lopez and her cookies. Her sweet, sweet cookies. Unfortunately, Thom got the nod a little late so he was unable to catch the flick but he does his best to keep up.

For episode 78 we set our sights (get it?) on American Sniper. Clint Eastwood returns to the director’s chair (and we all know how much he loves chairs) to give us the story of the deadliest sniper in military history.

This week on the show it’s Taken 3. The first one was awesome, the second one…not so much. Is the third time a charm?

It’s this week’s most important movie ever…The Interview. People haven’t been this outraged by a Korean themed piece of American pop culture since AfterM*A*S*H. And we’re here to spoil it for you. Plus, since it’s available (legally) on the internet you have no excuse not to listen. None of that “But I haven’t seen the [...] Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/reelspoilers.  See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Rain! Rain! The crops are saved! Hollywood finally made a new movie. Well, if you count yet another Moses movie as “new”. But it’s been two weeks since we’ve had a major release so, like being at a bar at closing time, it ain’t pretty but we’ll take it...

Hollywood takes another week off. (Pyramid? A horror movie? In December? Really?) Well, just because they phoned it in doesn’t mean we did. Instead of spotlighting a film we decided to focus on a year. So we fired up our Random Year Generator (Patent Pending) and it spit out 1973.

This week we put you in the holiday spirit with a special episode dedicated to the story that started it all…A Christmas Carol. Ok, ok…the other story that started it all.

America’s love affair with archery continues as Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 1 takes over theaters. Or is it America’s love affair with dystopian futures? Or it could be that America just loves a good ol’ fashion cash grab as Hollywood once again opts to adapt the weakest book in a series into multiple films.

We’re joined in the War Room this week by JC Corcoran. The legendary St. Louis radio personality stops by to give us his take on Jon Stewart’s directorial debut Rosewater.

Man, you guys sure must have done some trick and/or treating this weekend because you sure as hell didn’t go to the movies. The combined box office take for the top two films wouldn’t cover the catering budget on an Avengers movie. (But, in all fairness, there’s a lot of carbo-loading going on there).
