This week, the boys hop in their jalopy and head west for California to discuss John Ford’s 1940 Masterpiece “The Grapes of Wrath”. Based on John Steinbeck’s novel, of course, this film is not a comedy. Good thing we drink beers and buzz each other for saying anything negative, so we can have a fun time discussing why Dave and Jeff didn’t give the movie a gold star. Grab a drink and listen in!
