We also talk about Dave Chang's Dinner Time Live and The Menu. Shelby spills her wine and Andrew has a major life change. This episode has it all!

Shelby's back! And she's joined by a (Skype) room full of people including Trip it to Me returning guests, Ben, Matthew and Melissa, as well as newbies Jaren and Margaret. They're all here (Andrew too) for the second annual movie draft, where they pick their favorite films of 2023.
