This week the boys begin their Summer Blockbuster Face-Off, the challenge to determine once and for all what the greatest summer blockbuster of all time! We take the highest grossing *summer* movie of every year from 1980-2019 (plus Jaws and Star Wars), and we have them battle to the death until only one remains! Our first episode is a doozy: Empire vs. Raiders, E.T. vs. Jedi. Damn! Only two can advance. Please like and subscribe to keep up with our bracket!
