This week the guys wanted to give some love to a movie from their high school years. They went with 1995s Hackers. A movie that follows a very young Angelina Jolie and Jonny Lee Miller as computer Hackers that have been set-up for a crime they didn't do. They then enlist the help of the Hacker society to help them clear their names and take down "the man" before it's too late.

This week the guys, with massive anticipation for the new Captain America movie, decided to look back at our star spangled hero and watch the dark rumored Captain America movie from 1990. If you didn’t know, there was another Cap movie made. It is terrible. Nothing about this is good. It’s like the filmmakers have never even read a Captain America comic. So please download, grab a beer, sit back and relax and we walk you through this piece crap.

Listen as Spooky explains all the ins and outs of the game an just how this isn't a D&D movie at all. Leland learns allot.
