This week, Brad Garoon and Jake Ziegler team up with Mike Noyes and Charlie Peterson from the 'Random Acts of Cinema' podcast for a deep dive into the cinematic world of 1979. And opinions are SPLIT. Brad's choice the group is Albert Brooks' directorial debut "Real Life," an under-the-radar satire that presciently critiques the rise of reality television.

On the flip side, Jake recommends "Moonraker," a James Bond adventure that takes the franchise to outer space, a place some wish it would have stayed. Luckily, Charlie is a Bond maniac and has plenty to say in the movie's defense.
