As you may know or may not know. On the 3RD Floor Podcast we honor those films that just don’t get there fair shake. So we said ” Fuck the Oscars, Fuck the Emmy’s and Fuck the Hall of Fame. Most every HOF out here is filled with it’s share of druggies, drunks, wife beaters, murders, shall I go on, I think you understand.
