Going Home - The Lost Episode

We have a special treat this week, and we're calling it "The Lost Episode." That's right, what once was lost, now is found in the darkest corner of our hard drive - the "Going Home" themed episode we wanted to release right before Thanksgiving but was saved, alas, to the wrong folder. So here we are, back again with two new movies to talk about - Death at a Funeral and Grosse Pointe Blank.
