We can start with our bomb picks. If one or two more end up joining today thats cool. Pick any movie and assign it to any one person for bomb picks. Once someone has been bombed they are off limits. Remember to pick carefully if your pick for someone makes money they will benefit from it.

I'm so nervous about doing this, because I'm probably just going to make things better for this person.

Yoda, I'm dropping a bomb on you. The Fault in our Stars. Boom!
