"Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves" and "John Wick: Chapter Four"

On this week’s show, Dan Webster, Nathan Weinbender, and Mary Pat Treuthart will be discussing two films that fit the bill perfectly. First up is “Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves” followed by “John Wick: Chapter Four.”
