Description

Join your host Jon Saks and a rotating pool of guests as they compete each week to draft the best movies, performances and more from the greatest entertainers of all-time! Every draft begins the same: the host and guests put their names onto a wheel. The wheel gets spun. Whomever the wheel lands on, gets to pick any film from that draft subjects career. After discussing that film, that person's name is deleted from the wheel, and then it gets spun again, at which point whomever the wheel lands on next can draft any other film of that draft subjects career. Snake style. The number of rounds per draft is dependent on the length or depth of that subjects career. It is meant as an exercise to speak about what makes them unique or compelling. Thank you for your support!

You wanna hurt me? Go right ahead if it makes you feel any better. I'm an easy target. Yeah, you're right, I talk too much. I also listen too much.
