    35 - The God Blacklist Part II

    In this weeks episode, the boys cover two different, but in strange ways, similar stories of corruption and politics. Will takes us back to the 40s and 50s of Hollywood, where screenwriter Dalton Trumbo and nine other industry professionals—now dubbed 'The Hollywood Ten'—were charged and sentenced for refusing to testify about whether they were affiliated with the Communist party, resulting in the first major Hollywood Blacklist. Angus tackles what many consider to be one of the greatest films of all time, but one that he finds is overrated and snooze-worthy, 1974s 'The Godfather Part II.'
