This week hosts Scott Martin & Christopher Spicer each look at the five movies from the past 10 years that they have returned to the most. It is an interesting look at the contrast between the two as they have very different movies but also their own unique reasons for why certain pictures have been watched so often. A hint, one of the hosts is a parent and may have littles who convinced them to return to some singing princesses on several occasions. A great show for some possible recommendations for those with kids but also looking for fun adult movies.
