Why Watch That Radio

In many movies, characters (and the actors who play them) go head-to-head. They face-off! So, in honor of the burgeoning summer blockbuster season, the Critic and the Referee discuss some of their favorite movie face-offs. From the hilarious to the shocking, they cover it all. In addition, they talk about the start of some new TV show seasons, including those of Fear the Walking Dead and Game of Thrones. And, as always, they round things out with a timely "Did You Know?" and an oft-overlooked "Pick of the Week." Enjoy!
