Ever wondered what would happen if two friends watched a bunch of genre-movies, argued and joked about them, then decided to make a podcast? No? Well, too bad. Now you know. Hang out and laugh with Dave and Blake as they each pick a genre-specific movie, separated by at least a decade, and battle them out to decide which film wins the absolutely meaningless title of "First Prize". They'll cover action films, sci-fi, horror, martial arts, and an endless number of sub-genres in between. It's gonna get weird. The first episode drops on June 6th, where Dave and Blake will cover two action films. Put on your seatbelt because it's going to be a bumpy ride.
