Rick & Nick Talk Flicks
Rick & Nick Talk Flicks is about movies by two revered local movie critics...and since they're unwilling and/or unable to actually DO their podcast we found two other guys who love movies; Joel Hoover & Dave Brooks. With a theme on most episodes it's clear that these two fill-ins spend waaaaay too much screen time.
