Show notes

Did... this movie... not suck? Nathan and Brendan tackle the first Listeners Choice film of 2018 (from Robert Hooper) in the form of "The Cherokee Kid." This film may have turned out to be one of the better ones that the guys have ever unpacked... and unbelievably this happened with a 22-year old film starring Sinbad! There is still plenty to riff on including the last-minute love interest, Sinbad's distaste for produce, Walton Goggins, Burt Reynolds not caring, multiple mentor characters, sex cures and much more.
