Whiplash: A special 28 minute version of 5 Minutes With The Film Thugs

This is a very spoiler heavy episode, so if you haven't watched "Whiplash" yet..
First, why the hell haven't you? It's fantastic. Seriously. It's Jim's choice for best movie of they year, so get out there and watch the damn thing.
Second, go and watch this amazing thing before you listen.

Basically, this is a prototype for what we are doing with the Criterion series. We watched the movie and then sat down immediately after to talk about it.

Looks like Summer Movie League has officially become Fantasy Movie League.
It looks quite fun. Here's how it works.
You have an 8 screen theater.
Every week you pick movies and have a budget/salary cap you have to stay under.
Then you compete against other theaters in your league.
It's fantasy football for movie people.

Our league is Film Thugs 2015 and the password is Porterhouse.
