Hey, the election happened! It took a while, but ... wow, we voted that lunatic out. Tim and Will talk about that, and also new movies "Let Him Go" (with Kevin Costner and Diane Lane) and "Proxima" (with Eva Green and Matt Dillon). Then, in our Reboot section, we get gross with David Cronenberg's 1986 horror film "The Fly." Bundle-Fly!
