Rating movies is subjective, and because of that it can be kind of hard to stay consistent especially if you're rating a movie immediately after seeing them. Because of that, this week we're going over how we'd like to rate movies and what our "5" is, or what an average movie to us is. Tyler gets super in depth with his rating system and goes over most of the numbers and what criteria makes a movie the rating it gets. Cody and Brittany talk about Arrested Development Season 5, and we end the episode with a lot of chess talk as Tyler believes he'll win this episode. Chess it out!
