Is it a good idea to directly lift a Christmas movie storyline for a movie that has literally nothing to do with Christmas? Is it possible to have such unlikeable characters on paper be charming throughout the entire film? Why did THAT mother-in-law scene exist?

Ghosts of Girlfriends Past (2009) follows the story of Connor Meade (Matthew McConaughey) a renowned photographer and womanizer at the wedding of his younger brother Paul (Breckin Meyer). Although Connor has all intensions to convince Paul to call off the wedding, he get side tracked by his childhood love Jenny (Jennifer Garner) and the ghost of his dear Uncle Wayne (Michael Douglas). Wayne warns Connor that his lifestyle will not end well and in order to prove it Connor will be visited by three ghosts of girlfriends past (get it?)

Following the RomCom, we are joined by the incredibly fun Michelle Tate. Michelle has been a cast member on the popular TV franchise, Ghost Hunters, employed as an onsite paranormal investigator, and is a native Texan. She shares tales of how she got started in her unique line of work, what it was like being on reality tv, and where she would take Matthew on an investigation. Trust us, this just scratches the surface of the discussion!

One of the largest sports related tragedies of all time is beautifully explored in this historical drama focusing on Marshall University in 1970.
On November 14th, 1970, a plane crashed in the outskirts of Huntington, WV. To the horror of the town, in addition to the crew the plane contained the beloved Marshall University Football team, athletic staff, and community members - all were lost. After much deliberation from the city, Marshall President Donald Dedmon (David Strathairn) is tasked with reassembling a team. He finds a head coach in the quirky Jack Lengyel (Matthew McConaughey) and support from assistant coach, William "Red" Dawson (Matthew Fox). We experience the difficulty of grappling with such tragedy through many members of their community (Anthony Mackie, Ian McShane, and Kate Mara) and see a city rise from the ashes.
Following the film, we are honored to be joined by current Mayor of Huntington, Steve Williams. Mayor Williams shares personal stories of being in Huntington during that time, playing on the Marshall football team, and what Huntington is like today. Thomas says it best, "I wish he was the mayor of my town".
