On this Movie-Go-Round, Nicole decided to give this round's New to Two as a gift to musician and producer Brett, and a stress-free watch for David. The Commitments, based on a novella by Roddy Doyle, is the story of the beginnings of an Irish soul band, whose members learn how to expect more and pursue more in life. Is it at all realistic in how bands are formed? Does it have anything of substance to say when there isn't music playing? Is it normal for a director to make this many references to his own movies? And did David and Brett enjoy it? Connect with your hosts! Brett Stewart | Nicole Davis | David Luzader Want to easily find links to everything we talk about at the end of the program?

On this Movie-Go-Round You Did This to Us, the gang had the 2009 Megan Fox horror vehicle Jennifer's Body thrust upon them. Has this film aged gracefully, propelling into new relevance as a cult classic? Or does it remain as shallow as its lead character? Did Brett watch this film way too many times in his youth? (Yes.) Brett, Nicole, and David explore all of that and so much more in an episode that begs yet another question: Who on earth put this on You Did This to Us and why? Connect with your hosts!

On this Movie-Go-Round Around the World, Movie-GHOUL-Round continues! Nicole dug into the black-and-white archives to reveal Les Yeux Sans Visage - Eyes Without a Face. Shockingly gory for its time, the blood is tame by today's standards. The unsettling imagery and atmosphere, however, are another story. What did David and Brett think? How is the "mad scientist" different here? Why are the police so oblivious? And what will it take to get those dogs to shut up? Connect with your hosts!

This thriller about the most tense dinner party of all time has been elevated to a particularly high status in the horror community in 4 years since its release.
