After a long day toiling through the grassy knolls, dry deserts, and rocky slabs, you deserve a break. Come on down and warm yourself by the fire, crack open a beer, and join us.

All three of us are back to review DragonHeart starring Dennis Quaid, David Thewlis, Pete Postlethwaite, Dina Meyer, Julie Christie, and Sean Connery as the voice of Draco. Chris picked this for his appreciation of Pete Postlethwaite so there's heavy discussion around his career. Also there is a shout out to a gracious listener from Letterboxd--thanks again and enjoy!
