Episode 146 We're opening up the doors to the great hall and inducting the inaugural member to the True Bromance Film Hall of Fame. In order to rectify the grotesque errors of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, we have established our own version of awards that are sure to stand the test of time and serve as the categorical barometer for success in film.

War Machine vs. War Horse: The Girl with All the Gifts (Matilda vs. Frozen)

For new release THE GIRL WITH ALL THE GIFTS we found the easiest theme ever for this podcast  with  MORE films about girls with all the gifts in MATILDA (1996) and FROZEN (2013). Unfortunately what we did not find was a lot of films starring and marketed to young girls like in the mid-90s, so we discuss this with  Jessi Lauren   of   Search to Find You . Is FROZEN receiving credit for being one of the few films featuring a girl with all the gifts? And how come we have to mention the film CHUCK & BUCK every time we attempt to do a family friendly episode? All of these questions and more, such as "Why am I listening to this podcast?" will be answered on this episode.

His retired engineer dad Robert (Kline) takes a more regimented approach to grief, including putting the family home up for sale. Both father and son set out on their own paths to find a new normal as unexpected circumstances and potential new love interests threaten to thwart all plans.
