This week, Matt and Tiny discuss their favorite (and not so favorite) romantic comedies. They also talk about the Super Bowl trailers and CBS hiring Bryan Fuller to run the new Star Trek show. In the Potpourri section, they talk about Hannibal season 1, the new Coen brothers' film Hail, Caesar!, North Korea documentary The Propaganda Game, kid sports documentary Trophy Kids, and Disney’s rescue adventure movie The Finest Hours.
