Terry invites returning guest film critic Sean Boelman to join him to celebrate the Clue 40th anniversary! 1985's CLUE is one of the most brilliantly bonkers comedies ever put to film.

Borrowing a line from Madeline Kahn in Clue, ‘he was an illusionist… he was...

But reviews have been both positive and negative, of which the ne...

Terry is joined by his sister Michelle to review their experience at Epic Universe, Universal Orlando Resort's newest theme park--the newest theme park in the country.
