This week, the guys get musical with a discussion of the bombastic all-singing, all-dancing Oliver Twist adaptation directed by Carol Reed - Oliver! In this episode, Jason gives his full dissertation on musicals, the guys bemoan the lack of any version of "A Christmas Carol" on the list, they discuss how this movie may have heavily inspired several moments on The Simpsons, they talk about Oliver being the least interesting character in the film and much more.   Next week: Jason is away for a couple of weeks so please enjoy a previously recorded discussion from the What Were They Thinking? podcast in which Jason joined Brendan and Nathan to discuss Wild Mountain Thyme.
