Mike & Matt are finally back and have brought a brand new addition to the Reel World Podcast Network: Pick Your Poison, in which each host selects a film the other has never seen before and they review both together.

One of the core issues with American television programming is that financial concerns often dictate a show ending either too early or cause it to go on for far too long. While it’s always frustrating to see a show cut down in its prime or before it can really get going, that situation does at least cause the show to leave a good taste in the viewers’ mouth.
