The reason for the change is the guys are trying their hands at reviewing movies instead of television shows, and this time around Van has chosen to dive deep and pick...

Look: we all know Brad Garrett can get it. It took eight seasons for the team at Everybody Loves Raymond to figure this out and make an episode where Big Brad aspires to become a model, but better late than never.
