    The tablemates come together to discuss 1964 Best Picture Tom Jones. While not anyone's favorite, Dan does a great job explaining to his guests why this movie is worthy. It is clear that British humor is landining on American shores.

    Also, Dan introduces a new segment called Listener Ledgers...you too can give us your opinion on the weekly movie we are discussing.

    Finally, our guest Steve Shulkers, gave us great "participation trophies"--as Dan called them, and they cam in just in time as the podcast is now over one year old.

    The dinner table is set for a great discussion about 1962 Best Picture Lawrence of Arabia. The Gang welcomes Dan's best friend to the table, Steve Schulkers who speaks eloquently about his favorite film of all time.
