New Episode of The (title pending) Movie Podcast with Tank and Fogs

Hey what’s going on everyone? Tank and I are back with a brand new episode, and we set a new high water mark for the number of current reviews we cover for you.

Yup, after three weeks of theme episodes and a week off, we have a stockpile of movies to go through, a whopping NINE of them, in total. They are: Cloud Atlas, Flight, Wreck it Ralph, The Man with the Iron Fists, Lincoln, The Perks of Being a Wallflower, Life of Pi, Red Dawn, and Rise of the Guardians!
