Today we go back into the archives of our trailer reviews and find the films that we gave “burn it” reviews to. This film is from our show way back in 2015, where Hell and Back received a “burn it” review and now we both watched it and give the terrible results. Ooof. It’s terrible.

We also cover: The reboots of Princess Bride and Battlestar Galacitca, inequality in the workplace with a new spin, Radical Recommends with Documentary Now and the YouTube channel Behind the Screen, and Trailer Reviews of Netflix’s Living with Yourself and In the Tall Grass.
