The Christmas sequel season is upon us, and even though the Screeners have been busy decking the halls and raising money for Josh's critically needed heart enlargement surgery (because it's two sizes too small...ba-dum chh), they couldn't resist getting together for just one review. 

And if you're going to see one sequel this year,  we're betting it'll be The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug. It is the second movie of the second trilogy of the biggest franchise of our generation,  after all (with apologies to Kanye for stealing his pointless hyperbole shtick).

The Hobbit has hit #1 at the box office for 3 weeks in a row, but was it worth the Screeners' time? OK...did at least the three Screeners with normal human sentiment like it? Listen and find out—it won't take too long; we promise.

Oh, and Happy New Year!
