Was there a ghost on set in one of these movies? Is there a difference between a crib and a bassinet? Is New York rent so expensive it requires three successful men in their 40s to be roommates? If your wife goes back to work will her best friend automatically want to sleep with you? Can you make a grilled cheese sandwich using a clothing iron? The Film Fight crew explores all this and more.

Reveals: Jim tells us which of his marketing clients is most open to new ideas, Steve debuts his new “Breakdown” song, Zack reveals the ghost gossip of Three Men and A Baby, and Amber questions Leonard Nimoy’s directing choices.

Ep. 09: Reservoir Dogs vs. Things To Do in Denver When You’re Dead (American Crime Ensemble Cast Edition)

Saturday Apr 16, 2022

The gang lists best and worst Tarantino movies.
