Episode 114 "Weapons Review: No Spoilers! Zach Cregger is the New Master of Horror"

Cody drools over Ivan's review of WEAPONS, which is not surprising considering Cody drools a lot. But what adds to Cody's disposition is that this might be the most cogent and entertaining no-spoiler review ever for a Zach Cregger film... and that's something to drool about.
FYI -- Ivan is giving Weapons a 90/100 Broken Dishes. Yep. Now go out and see it.
