Yeah, so the title up there may have given away the main event, but don\\u2019t skip straight there; we\\u2019ve got a couple things to get out of the way first. C\\u2019mon; there\\u2019s a new Marvel show\\u2014you knew the Screeners would at least mention it. They make no promises about liking it (or even that they\\u2019ve all seen it), but they\\u2019ll...mention it.
\\nAlso, Stephen King\\u2019s Dark Tower book series is about to hit the big screen, and Chad and Melody can\\u2019t wait to tell you how worried they are about this. Wait; you haven\\u2019t heard the good news about Dark Tower? Well, sit down, because Chad has some knowledge for you.

\\n\\n

Next up: Disney\\u2019s making money dainty hand over furry CGI fist from its Beauty and the Beast remake, but is it deserved? Most of the Screeners were alive when the cartoon version was released, so they\\u2019re almost guaranteed to have biased opinions, but let\\u2019s hear them out anyway, shall we?

\\n\\n

After that main event, what other topic could there be for the top three than musicals? Er, make that \\u201cmusical movies\\u201d, or whatever weasel term Daniel wanted to use so he could get away with his unconventional picks. We encourage you to listen to this segment and pinpoint the moment where it goes completely off the rails; we think there\\u2019s an argument for at least three distinct places, and we\\u2019re interested to hear which one you choose.

\\n\\n

And where should you let us know that choice? Facebook, of course! What; you thought we were going to let you get away without a link to Facebook? Just for that, here\\u2019s a link to our iTunes page too. If you like us, a rating and review are the best present you can get us.

\\n\\n

See you next time, when we\\u2019ll cringe (or cheer? We hope cheer\\u2026) our way through Ghost in the Shell.
