Both Ryan Magnuson and Nick Colby have co-hosted reviews with me in the past, and we’re excited to give you a taste of The Sports Buddaye as they review a movie that was shamelessly hyped by every sports network showing NFL games last weekend.

Eric welcomes Trevan McGee from Inkkc.com back as guest host as they review the new horror comedy “Zombieland,” starring Woody Harrelson, Jesse Eisenberg, Emma Stone, and Abagail Breslin.
