Get An Update With This Fun And Entertaining Commentary From The Industrious Family Podcast

This week on Gophers Get a Grip, we're diving into some unpopular movie opinions. Patrick shares his thoughts after watching Frozen for the first time, and the conversation quickly turns into a debate over movies we think should never have been made.

Topics: This episode starts with rodeos, haying season, and small-town summer stories before turning into an unexpectedly passionate discussion about movies.

We talk through our least favorite films, war movies that actually hold up, princess movies, chick flicks, "guy cry" movies, and why one simple analogy completely changes how we decide what's worth watching.

Along the way, we share stories from Border Days, life on the farm, a traffic ticket, and plenty of laughs that only seem to happen when the guys gets talking.
