In this one we take an unflinching gaze at the 50 second movie about a train coming at you. (I mean, I may have flinched a little. But come on. That train was coming right at me!) We also stick it to those fat cats in Hollywood by doing some fact checking on famous movie myths. And we answer more emails!
