The Film Vault

Been hearing some of you were having problems downloading this episode. Must be due to the original file being amended after it was posted. You see, the Star Wars Spoiler discussion was not removed when the episode was first released and that was a problem and something had to be done. Sure you could blame Anderson for this, but let's all point at Bryan. Anyway, here is the a new post of the same show, but minus the spoiler talk. Sorry for this holiday mixup. 

Just when you thought it was safe to go back into the living room, The Film Vault Family Christmas descends upon you. Mike Carano, Tyler White and the long lost Logan Moy join the festivities after Bryan and Anderson flickfess the new Star Wars, Queen & Slim, Richard Jewell  and the Netflix true crime mini series documentary, Don't F**k with Cats.

The first 32 minutes of this one are all new with an explanation at the top about the classic episode followed by a lengthy Red Light/Green Light with Diana van de Kamp. It's all downhill after this as the show gives way to something that hasn't aired since December, 2010. While there is a new Amazon read within the classic audio, the rest is very dated if not entertaining in a horrible car wreck kind of way.
