#51 – The Magnificent Seven

In this Movie-Go-Round New to Two, David introduced Brett and Nicole to an older Western.

Tune in to hear us hash these questions out. Next week we're watching a Netflix Roulette film, The Polka King. Head on over to TiltingWindmillStudios.com for more podcast episodes, columns, and more!
