The yellow brick road just leads to arguments about Wicked

-

This week on Shelf Warmers, Andrew and Sam are sucked into the Land of Oz, but things are a little different this time around. In a movie full of miscast characters, the boys will meet such stars as James Franco and Mila Kunis, waiting to show them a just okay and confusing time. Will the wizard see it fit to save this film from its fate on the shelf, or will Andrew and Sam become wicked for good and keep the film on the shelf until the end of time?

Is Natalie Portman a movie star?

This week also features a special guest who just might be the cause of this mind-altering space.

Kind of like JFK, but not really

A Visit From Shelf Warmers

-

It was 12 nights before Christmas, and all was quiet on the shelf

not a movie went unwatched, not even Krampus;

the movies were picked with care,

in hopes they would find a hidden gem;

Andrew and Sam watched, snuggled in their beds;

While visions of podcasts raced through their heads;

So come join us this week for a delightful surprise;

as Seth Rogan, JGL, and Anthony Mackey get high.
