Friendly reminder that another John Hughes classic, Dutch, is a perfect Thanksgiving film.

Take the time to check it out, we know everyone mostly circles Planes, Trains, and Automobiles this time of year. But don't sleep on this Ed O'Neill vehicle.

Holy crap! Biggest week ever!
We have Ashley (Johnnys Wife) and Amy (Richards Wife) to be our MCU correspondents talking about Loki and Black Widow this week!
JOHNNY AND ASHLEY GOT TO SEE THE SU***DE SQUAD EARLY!
Richard and Amy got to see The Foo Fighters at the Icon Music Center in Cincinnati and have thoughts.
We watched "Fast and Furious: Tokyo Drift" and discuss Justin Lins way of working out some complex tokyo filming.
WE ALL watched Loki and we have thoughts. Amy and Ashley go deep on how this show felt more marvel-y than any of the other shows thus far!
This turns into a long discussion on Tom Hiddleston and my wife might as well squee with joy.
We watched Black Widow and there was a lot of disappointment going around. What did we enjoy? What didn't work?
A small amount of Ghostbusters Afterlife discussion pops up as well!

What is it going to take, for Richard and Greg, to convince Johnny to watch the Fast and Furious films?

Is it possible? If Statham and The Rock couldn't flip his outlook, who could? What about that Jurassic World and Furious mashup rumor?

Answers to this question were tossed around on this weeks show, get ready to laugh at the frustration!

If a major character left CW's The Flash, would anyone notice? Given viewership numbers, probably not! Who died?!

Greg ate food that made his face go numb, and who DOESN'T want to know where to make that happen?

Also, Richard watched Cruella, Johnny got an enticing offer from Blizzard, and we pay extra to clear the Cicadas from our EVERYTHING.
