Last time you heard from us we tried to lighten everyone's collective load in the days following the election and listed off some of our favorite mockumentaries. It's a list of flicks that might come in handy if a couple of weeks after the fact your nerves are still frazzled so check that out here if you need it.

This week, with Thanksgiving coming up on us fast, we decided to serve up a hearty list of hand-selected food-centric films to get your appetite going!

Along the way you'll hear some digressions into how many pieces of bubble gum Jared's chewed at one time, Bruce reminisces about being at the LA premiere of "Sausage Party' Chris shoes some love to arguably Steven Spielberg's biggest misfire, and the question of which fast food place makes the best french fries sparks controversy.
