For our final fan selection film of the 90th percentile, you guys chose Jordan Peele's Get Out (2017). There's a lot to talk about with such a rich film, so we get into it, folks. Also, we announce something cool at the end of this episode.

We made it to 99%! That's wild. L.A. Confidential is Scott's pick, and it's a fine one if I do say so myself.

The Wrestler is a fan favorite (and a Max favorite) was a joy to watch — even though it's an emotional ride. We ham it up in this episode, but honestly get right to business and still manage to discuss a lot of the emotional depth of this film.
