– More Hockey Excitement (0:42)
Last week on the show, we opened with JD losing his mind over the Four-Nations Faceoff tournament. We begin this week’s episode with JD continuing to so after an incredible finish in the championship game between the United States and Canada. 

– James Bond (10:20)
It was announced recently that the Broccoli family was stepping away from the Bond franchise and letting Amazon take creative control over the character. This is really, really bad news. Amazon has its fair share of successes, but generally speaking they are known for milking their cows to death. The James Bond that we knew and loved is no longer, and that makes us disheartened.

– Best Picture Movie Series: The Apartment (56:34)
We began this series last year by covering the Oscars Best Picture winners of the 1940s. It was a ton of fun, and we are excited to dig into the next phase as we cover the winners of the 1960s. Leading the way in 1960 was Billy Wilder’s classic masterpiece The Apartment. There’s a good argument to be made that this is Wilder’s best film. Which is saying something when he has at least five or six all-time classics in his filmography. The Apartment has one of the best screenplays ever written, and a cast that is extremely memorable. One hell of a way to restart this series.
