Friday Night Movie By @pancake4table

We are fascinated with aka Charlie Sheen (Netflix) - a revealing documentary about the life and career of one of Hollywood's great talents and bad boys. Join Shai and Lily (and Becky for a few minutes) as they walk down the memory lane of Charlie Sheen's best performances (Platoon, Cadence, Navy Seals, Wall Street, Major League!!!) and react to the documentary's many revelations. And you'll never guess our MVP of the film! Also, this was the perfect opportunity to bring in some special guest theme music from Chris Kamsch's Dingleberry Dynasty - the epic song about Charlie, Emilio, and Martin - "Sheen."  Follow @floatersmovie for updates!

In this episode, we stumble through the latest food trends, including the much-hyped Dubai chocolate and our guest Howie Kislowicz's journey to become a chocolatier.
