16: American Made and The Counselor

We fly into enemy territory with American Made then face off with the Mexican drug cartel in Ridley Scott's The Counselor (2013). Later we tackle why the Academy seems to ignore horror movies at the Oscars, potential upcoming Film Buds special episodes, our picks for the Lego Cinematic Universe, and what we think of Jared Leto starring as Hugh Hefner.
