The first unfortunate event was this movie getting greenlit, and the most recently was our having to watch it.  Hopefully this will put an end to Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events.  Actually, it's a pretty entertaining movie, though Bobby disagrees, as he takes the movie--and Jim Carrey--to task.

In a departure from our usual format, we compare two movies--2006’s The Illusionist and The Prestige--that are both well reviewed.  They are also similar in other ways, what with the Victorian-era magic.  Of course, we can’t discuss too many good movies.  This is a bad movie podcast, which is to say, a podcast where we discuss bad movies.  If people hear that we are a “bad movie podcast” and see that many of our movies are well regarded, they will assume that we are a bad . . . movie podcast.  And we don’t want that.

In a later than usual minisode, Sam reveals what the follow-up to the magical Bewitched episode will be.  Hint, it's twice as magical!

Loren tries to convince us that we are, in fact, the grinches for not liking this holiday turkey.
