Finally, stayed tuned for us to announce what year we'll be covering in season 2! We check back in with whencanireusethiscalendar.com to decide, and then pick our first movie for January.

Welcome to the first annual Two Boat Christmas, where we watch two movies that feature boats. This year, Brandon and Megan watched Tomorrow Never Dies (featuring a super special stealth ship) and Titanic (featuring one big boat, and notably, not enough lifeboats). Megan doesn't really recall the plot of the James Bond movie, but Brandon's never even heard of the Britney Spears song about Titanic so it balances out.
