People it's time to face facts. When your movie franchise is 11 films deep and only 2.5 - 3.5 of them are good you may have a problem.

But while the house itself may be a full of asbestos and termites, the foundation is rock solid. Today on 20 MINUTES OF TRUTH Colin chats with the founder of the Star Wars focused Cantina Cast, owner of Ear Glue Media and host of Mando Mondays...MIKE RONDEAU! Is there a way to fix the films?

TAXI DRIVER is a famous movie from a famous director starring a famous actor. It's also a movie that Colin somehow missed over the years. On a very special episode of 20 MINUTES OF TRUTH Colin doesn't review the movie (what would the point of that be?) but instead digs into the secret truth about Taxi Driver that no one wants to talk about (mostly because it's an utterly crazy notion)...hit play to go along for this ride.

Epic has become an overly used word to describe pretty much everything. But there are still instances where the word applies. In the outdoor world, for instance, an Epic is when a backcountry trip goes awry and a safe return becomes uncertain. A Backyard Epic is when this happens on a smaller scale. Something definitely went wrong, but you probably still made it home that same day. Outdoor recreation can teach us a lot and when things go wrong we are given the opportunity to learn even more. Today on 20 MINUTES OF TRUTH Colin is joined by his old pal Jay Getzel to swap stories of their own Backyard Epic's and to try and figure out how it maybe made them better people.

If I could drop it all and focus on surfing full time, would I? Damn right I would!
