Yeah, a pretty picture can elevate an already great script, but can a well shot film save a steaming pile of trash?

Ben & Brendan discuss the year's potentially biggest film and try to decide whether this corporate merger was worthy of a two hour meeting, or could have just been an e-mail.
Anxiety takes the wheel as the boys delve deep back into the mindset of being a teenager. But in a fun, PG, Pixar/Disney kind of way.
