It's On The List
Gerry and Sammy talk about movies. Old, new, bad, good, and everything in between. Generally, two films that are loosely connected in some form or fashion will be discussed in each episode, but the boys will divert from this format to rank the filmographies of certain directors, discuss end-of-the-year best-of lists, etc. Come listen to the two smartest people in the world deliver their objectively correct analyses on a variety of films. Hosts: Gerry Hartman, Sammy Ray. Theme song produced by Eric Powell
