Back in January, I got to sit down with my new friend Vee from the Movies You Missed podcast to talk about a film I had never seen before but was a big influence on them.

The Steelers cashed in a W and held the under by a half-point, but I narrowly missed the trifecta as the Titans couldn't cover the 3 points in a 20-16 loss on the road. I recap that Thursday game and get into what turned out to be a lot of upset picks after a 14-2 mark last week. Here's hoping.By Nick Sheist
