...or at least Chad does. The rest of the Screeners are holding out for the 20th anniversary of The Wedding Singer to let go of the innocence of youth. EIther way, we\\u2019ve made it to the big five-oh. Fifty episodes in just over 3 years is still a better production pace than most non-reality TV shows (read: shows that require creativity to produce), so maybe our mothers are right to be so proud of us.

The List to End All Lists...Until the Next List

How, then, should we celebrate? Let\\u2019s make a list! Everyone loves a good anniversary list. We\\u2019re afraid the Screeners may have missed the boat topic-wise, though. Instead of \\u201cMelody\\u2019s top 5 unnecessary apologies\\u201d, \\u201cChris\\u2019s 3 favorite explosions that don\\u2019t involve helicopters\\u201d, or \\u201cThe 10 foreign films Chad claims are amazing, but that no one will ever watch to validate his enthusiasm\\u201d, they went with \\u201cTop 5 movies we\\u2019ve reviewed on the podcast\\u201d. They\\u2019re sorry. They\\u2019ll do better for episode 100. If they live that long.

Best St. Patrick\\u2019s Day Movie Ever

Now that we\\u2019ve rehashed all the other main events, it\\u2019s time to make a new one. 10 Cloverfield Lane is Dan Trachtenberg\\u2019s feature-length debut after years of suffering on The Totally Rad Show under the crushing weight of Chad, Chris, and Melody\\u2019s zealous fandom. Has he proven worthy of their endless devotion? Also, what\\u2019s this movie about, anyway? It has the word Cloverfield in it, and there was that alien movie awhile back\\u2014is this that? JJ Abrams is involved, so it has to be that, right? But the trailer...the trailer was, like, not that. We\\u2019re confused. You\\u2019re probably confused too, and we understand. Listen, and all will be revealed\\u2014unless, of course, you don\\u2019t want it to be, in which case you probably shouldn\\u2019t listen to the spoilers section.

Oh, and one more thing for the kiddos. Zootopia\\u2019s out too. Most of the Screeners with offspring (and one without) have seen it and have some feedback for Disney. Is it worth schlepping the kids to the theater? Does it live up to Disney movie standards? And just how much are we allowed to mock the DMV before something bad happens? The answers to all these questions and more, in a segment that\\u2019s totally not an afterthought to a review of a very different movie.

After you\\u2019ve seen 10 Cloverfield Lane, why not head over to Facebook and question Chris\\u2019s sanity, or maybe Josh\\u2019s solipsism? The rest of the Screeners don\\u2019t know how much longer they can keep it up without some help. It\\u2019s beginning to feel like a losing battle.
