In the episode Mark and Kristi cover their favorite soundtracks. From synth-y scores to killer compilations, they cover all the sounds that make their favorite movies better.

Mark's all by his lonesome for the holidays, answering listener questions. Where do you get all those records? How do I store them? Which ones do you take home? Why won't you hold one for me? Why is your website so terrible?
