or: Jeremy Renner is the Hawkeye of Actors

Jacob and Chris try to find the language to discuss Denis Villeneuve’s Arrival.

Then, find out what films are the cream of the crop as the dudes list their favorite films from the Criterion Collection just in time for the annual B&N sale! PLUS we recap the dominance of Hacksaw Ridge in Week 11 for our Fantasy Movie League roundup.
