214: April Fool's Day

All throughout April, The Buds will be reviewing movies in theme with the Holidays in April.Introduction - 00:00April Fool’s Day Trailer - 05:40April Fool’s Day Review and Discussion - 06:07The first holiday in April brought The Buds to their first movie, the aptly named Slasher/Mystery April Fool's Day from 1986.
