Here’s the thing… We weren’t able to record on time in November due to conflicting holiday schedules, so we’re opening up the Mandatory Movies Vault, and releasing the first episode we ever recorded, when the format was a little different, focusing on revisiting the films of a particular month/year rather than a theme.

To discuss the films of July 2003, hosts Brad and Kevin have forced each other to rewatch Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl, The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, Northfork, and Seabiscuit.

Does Northfork still warrant being called a personal favorite of Brad’s? And can Kevin discuss Seabiscuit without using the F-word? All this and more on Horse of the Year…
