We welcome Young David back to the show right as he is in the middle of a BluRay Buying Bonanza. How many will he buy before the end of the show? Seven. The answer is seven. Joshua feels better about his own impulse buying. David also recommends THE VAST OF NIGHT. We discuss IT FOLLOWS! This film is LAYERED to say the least.
