Posted on

On This Episode: Kevin digs out the old Second Reel podcast and dusts it over, giving it a new coat of paint so it also works as a Fat Guy Five.

Instead of finding diverse opinions on the subject (because, let’s face it… if you want to find Chronicle love, you can look at just about every other web site out there). Instead, they take the time to berate the film and rattle off the five reasons why it is turrible.
