Well, if you thought the boys have been a little too agreeable this year, do we have a doozy for you! This is one of those occasions where the act I topic superscedes the actual review.

There was so much disagreement on our 100th episode between Errol and Nick, that they decided to sit down one on one and hash out which side of the force they were on. Since Errol writes these, Nick was on the dark side. Tune in for an in depth review of Star Wars: The Last Jedi
